Washington in 60 Seconds: Fox News and White House Discuss Detente; a Penny for Your Thoughts, Sarah?
Politics Daily —
... * Politico writes that when a conservative group in Iowa reached out to Sarah Palin to speak at an event, her peeps told them to pony up $100K.

As one GOP leader said, "If somebody tells me they want me to pay an appearance fee, it tells me they're not very serious about running for president." ...

What Makes Palin Different

She's demanding $100,000 just to give a speech to a Republican group in Iowa:
Tim Albrecht, spokesman for the conservative, Iowa-based American
Future Fund, said his group “has a policy not to pay speakers to come
to Iowa,” and, like Failor, hinted at what those guests get in return. “We are proud to host conservative leaders from across the country,
providing them an audience across the state and nation to share their
conservative vision,” Albrecht said. Like the other Iowa political hands, he could not recall a single instance where a potential ...

Politico goes on to note a vocal opposition to paying Palin to speak at the Nov. 21 fundraiser : But representatives from other Iowa-based political advocacy groups said they would never consider shelling out money for what many politicians see as a privilege: the opportunity to speak to a room full of sure-fire caucus-goers who often serve as precinct captains and can be instrumental to a presidential candidate’s success.

When she's not sniping at a 19 year old ex-boyfriend of her daughter's, Sarah Palin is making mid-western waves, by confusing an invitation to give a political speech in Iowa for just another gig and asking for her $100,000 fee. Of course, the Iowans have a bloated sense of their importance, but just the same: "The Iowa Family Policy Center’s effort to cobble together $100,000 for Palin would represent a striking departure from customary practice in the first-in-the-nation state, these Republicans say, noting that a generation of White House hopefuls has ...

Even in the face of probable rejection because of her busy book schedule, the Iowa Family Policy Center decided to try to woo her more heavily, by attempting to pay her $100,000.

Great post by pediatrician Bryan Vartabedian who addresses this topic. Indeed, physicians have lost control of the online message, especially with, according to recent data, 60+ percent of patients visiting the web first when looking for health information.
Instead, anti-vaccine proponents and homeopaths have embraced the Internet, and now exert tremendous influence on patients. We doctors have no one to blame but ourselves for being so slow to get online.
