There's nothing like the soothing feel of cold hard cash to relieve the sting of humiliation:
Palin to deliver address at gun convention
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will deliver a keynote address to a gun convention later this month.
Palin (R) will speak to the Safari International Club (SCI) in Reno, Nev. on Saturday, Jan. 29, according to the group's website. The organization bills itself as "the leader in protecting the freedom to hunt and promoting wildlife conservation worldwide."
The 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee's speech is expected to touch on "her past hunting experiences and how politics affects the current state of hunting and fishing."
Palin typically receives six figures for appearances like this, so while she might be destroying her political future, at least she's getting well-paid to do it. Registrations for the event, which are sold out, range from $55 to $1,500. Palin will be joined by luminaries including Larry the Cable Guy and an Elvis impersonator.
