If a tree falls in the forest...

So Bush thinks he's going to make big bucks giving speeches after he is finished being president? People won't even come to listen to him NOW:

The event had inauspicious beginnings. Bush started 10 minutes late, so that APEC workers could hustle people [ie, business leaders] out of the theater's balcony seating to fill the many empty portions of the main orchestra section below _ which is most visible on camera. Even resettled, the audience remained quiet throughout the president's remarks, applauding only when he was finished.
