The Palin greed train continues, $12M version

Yeppers. As for snarky wingnuts bloviating about Al Gore getting rich off climate changed stock, Gore has yet to haul in this much, namely, the $12 million Gov. Dopey Dopey has made since becoming ex-governor.

That conservative estimate is based on publicly available records and news accounts. The actual number is probably much higher, but is hard to quantify because Palin does not publicize her earnings. She reputedly got a $7 million deal for her first book, with the bulk of that money due after her resignation as governor, and will earn about $250,000 per episode, according to the web site The Daily Beast, for each of eight episodes of a reality show about Alaska for the The Learning Channel. She has managed to keep a lid on reliable figures for her earnings from a multi-year contract with Fox News and a second book deal with HarperCollins.

Guess she has a lot of NYC wardrobes to buy, eh?
