Theres is an excellent 60 Minutes segment about it. Of course the salary comes from individual PACs of the the congress members.

Plus I don't like to use the term whore because I see it as derogatory toward women in general...there is no real male equivalent in the language in my opinion that is as negative. "John" or gigilo" just is not as bad and the term whore just reinforces a double standard.
Anyone who gets paid over $200 large to give a 40 minute speech to Goldman Sachs is a Corporate Whore I don't care what gender they are.
