6. It's often a slippery way funnelling money from corporations, I think

It's generally a lobbyist scheme to avoid certain laws regulating donations, isn't it? Are there limits on these types of interludes between industry and elected (retired) officials?

11. Oh, I'm Just Praising the Former President for All Those Fine Speeches

That is all.

I think it's a list every progressive Democrat and progressive independent can look upon with sheer, unadulterated pride.

15. I Would Love to See a Comparison to Reagan's Paid Speeches...

14. Maybe Video Would Help?

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=bill+clinton+speech&hl=en&sitesearch=">Some might match up to the Washington Post's list with further refinement of this search.
