Beck to Donate 9/11 Rally Fee

Politico reports:

Fox News host Glenn Beck says he will donate his speaking fee for a pricey rally with former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Beck and Palin have drawn criticism over the planned rally in Anchorage, Alaska, where tickets cost $65 to $200 for a VIP package that offers a chance to meet the tea party stars.

"Glenn had always intended to donate the speaking fee from the event on Saturday, Sept. 11, in Alaska to Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Governor Palin is not and was never going to receive a fee for introducing Glenn at this event,” a Beck spokesman told Politico.

Neither Beck nor Palin previously said that they would not be taking a fee for the event. Both have made millions of dollars in the past year by giving paid speeches.
