What she SAID in those speeches isn't essential - in fact it's meaningless. What's essential is that she was PAID, and paid again and again and again, to the tune of over $150 million between her and her husband, straight to their personal account, by lobbyists. The lobbyists didn't want WORDS, they didn't care if she read "My Pet Goat" to them, they cared that they bought her.
