  The payout for the video.

  She looks to be using a Panasonic VHX-200, which is an expensive camera which requires very expensive memory cards to record video onto. Charging a hundred dollars an hour for videotaping is not outrageous. Then it has to be put into a computer and that is done real time for the most part - an hour of video takes an hour plus to put into the computer and then you have to eidt them which is a time consuming process.

  100,000 for four months

  25,000 per month

  800 plus per day

  If she only spent four hours videotaping Edwards, that is 400 dollars

  assuming she got two hours of actual video that is an additional 200 dollars to input it into the computer

  Assuming that she is a fast as lightening editor and logged it as it was being entered into the computer and put it together in her head as she is watching it, that would be another 3 or 4 hours - let's say 3 for an additional 300 dollars.

  That adds up to 900 dollars so lets assume that she took a day off and it doesn't really seem like what she charged is that outrageous. She also had to go with him to Uganda? That is full time work and full time pay because that is not a place most people would want togo to unless they were HIGHLY paid.

  I'll do work for 50 per hour, but my camera isn't as desirable. If I had to hang out with a sleazeball pol, I would be charging a 100 dollars per hour too.

  Unless it was McKinney. She is a Hero.
