Sarah Palin is said to have pocketed a $7 million advance for the 400-page memoir she turned in four months early, but her plans to cash in on the lecture circuit have hit a snag, according to the New York Post. Palin, who signed with the top-notch Washington Speakers Bureau, is said to be asking for $100,000 per speech, but an industry expert told the New York Post: "The big lecture buyers in the U.S. are paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot."Many big lecture venues are subscription series, "and they don't want to tick people off. Palin is polarizing, and some subscribers might cancel if she's on the lineup." Other lecture buyers are universities, which have a leftist slant, and corporations, which dislike controversy."
"Palin is so uninteresting to so many groups -- unless they are interested in moose hunting," said the insider. "What does she have to say? She can't even describe what she reads."
