"A faceless government is taking away their lifeline, water, all because of a 3-inch fish. Where I come from, a 3-inch fish, we call that bait. There is no need to destroy people's lives over bait."
-Sarah Palin (speaking at West Hills College in California for a fee of $115,000)

To counter public outcry against paying such a fee, West Hills College sold VIP tickets at $5000 dollars apiece to 25 individuals who got to sit up close to Ms. Palin as she was speaking and later shake her hand.

"Where I come from, spending an amount equal to our family's yearly food budget, just to sit close to a celebrity and shake her hand, is not what I'd call a good example of fiscal responsibility. And a person who has that kind of money to burn certainly is not having their life ruined by a 3-inch fish."
-Steve Zorbaugh (typing in Pennsylvania without the likelihood of collecting any fee)
