How does Newt keep his speech fees "confidential"?

If he becomes a candidate, we definitely need to poke this hive.

n 2005-06, the College Republicans budgeted $25,000 for speakers, according to Maggie Doran, who works in the Student Government Association's front office. Gingrich, who rose to national prominence in Congress during the 1990s, was the only speaker the club brought in during that academic year. The UVM President's Office contributed $2,000 toward Gingrich's fee, as did the Student Life Office. The sum of all those funds, plus the $7,000 from the loan, comes to $38,000.

Such a figure is not uncommon for someone of Gingrich's national stature. Gingrich is represented by the Washington Speakers Bureau, which arranges engagements for more than 280 political and media celebrities. Fees for 94 of the bureau's more eminent speakers, including Gingrich, are not disclosed on the bureau's Web site; fees for about 71 others range from $25,001 to more than $40,000 (see box).

Gingrich was asked Monday, via e-mail, if he realized that his appearance in Burlington had effectively led to the decommissioning of the UVM Republican club. A reply came from Joe DeSantis, communications director of Gingrich Communications: "We have no comment."
