![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Best story of the day ... former Prez candidate John Edwards proves there no such thing as bad publicity, because it's making him even richer.
It seemed like only yesterday Edwards admitted he was cheating on his cancer-stricken wife -- right, it was -- and his fee for speaking engagements is already going sky high.
Edwards is scheduled to speak at the University of Illinois' Urbana campus in mid-October. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Edwards will rake in $65,000 for the chat. But the paper reports Edwards' agent told a University official Edwards wants to book more engagements and charge more than the pre-Beverly Hilton rate.
In 2006, Edwards was paid a measly $55,000 to speak at UC Davis ... on poverty.

Why won't our people learn to not help these guys out! Make them suffer for they do to their wives. But no! We give them even more money! I hope his wife is as smart as she seems and leaves this guy for good
BOO EDWARDS .... He should make "0" for a speaking engagement! He should not be paid to speak on a college campus!
COME ON PARENTS of students there and others, those who are paying the tuition and fees at University of Illinois' Urbana SPEAK UP!
I am going to their web site... speak out!
he done is family horrible .......especiall his wife .....homewrecker he is ....
This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in awhile. I have to wonder how some people think. It boggles the mind.
Student funded event students ONLY! Give me a break.... (Parents funded also)
Edwards is scheduled to deliver the fall lecture at Foellinger Auditorium at 7 p.m. Oct. 14
This event was scheduled in the Spring of 07 and a contract signed... long before he dropped the Presidential election and before we became aware that he was deceiving the American public, his wife and family!
He should quietly back out of his contract! PERIOD!
Speak out on the Campus
Let me get this straight, he's got $50K for speaking to people about poverty? This is the problem you have with liberals, bad times sells to them. Never be positive because people might help themselves and then they won't need your government handouts.

Why in the world would ANYONE want to listen to him? I wouldn't pay $1.99, even if I was offered free popcorn and a beer.

Cancer patients can have relapses if they are under a lot of stress. I think that's what happened to Elizabeth Edwards. Maybe she's sticking by her husband for their young kids. Maybe HE is sticking by his mistress for their (probable) baby. Ugh.
I went and heard Bill Clinton speak here in Victoria, B.C. and his fee is $150,000 per speach, sounds like Edwards is cheap.What does Edwards have to say that anyone would want to hear?
