He could have taken his fee in cash. Clinton gets paid for speeches, too. It is no big deal......

"GHWB didn't "buy" the stock. He was given options as an honorarium for giving a speech. I suppose he risked eating catered food and throwing up on the host, but that was about it."

You're a pinhead.

Bush gave the speech and his time which is worth 100K. He risked 100k because he could have reasonably asked for it and been given.
