Re: Like Mother, Like Daughter
While Sarah Palin works the speakers circuit, most recently declaring that Americans are “all Arizonan’s now” in defense of a recent law cracking down on that state’s illegal immigrants and possibly writing more detailed notes on her palm, her daughter Bristol has joined the roster at Single Source Speakers. For $15,000 to $30,000, you can hire Bristol for special appearances at your next seminar, fundraiser or conference. Bristol, you may remember, was supposed to marry her boyfriend Levi Johnston after news broke during the 2008 presidential campaign that she was pregnant. Somewhere between the end of her mother’s vice-presidential dreams and Levi’s Playgirl spread, Bristol gave birth to a son and decided that she could do better than a small town boy whose best years are probably already behind him.
Here’s Bristol’s biography, as written by the team at Single Source Speakers:
Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin’s oldest daughter, took the country by storm practically overnight when she was introduced to Americans during the 2008 presidential campaign. Her teen pregnancy and the birth of her son Tripp, resulted in millions of Americans discussing the issues surrounding teen pregnancy. Bristol has since gone on to become a Teen Ambassador for the Candie’s Foundation, and speaks about pregnancy prevention, abstinence, faith and life. She recently appeared on the ABC drama “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” and is working on her first book.
Bristol’s only qualification then, is her failure to use birth control. Oh, and her polarizing mother without whom the name Palin would only be famous if you were a quirky British actor/travel host. Yet, Bristol should be congratulated for parlaying her ‘pregnancy as cautionary tale’ into financial success. She saw that there was a gap in the motivational speaker category for rich white girls from conservative families who get pregnant in high school and she boldly decided to fill it. Now she speaks about abstinence (maybe not the way to go after all) and faith. She joins proud single working mothers everywhere who have kicked their deadbeat baby daddies to the curb and are doing it for themselves.
So if you too are a teenage (white) girl from a wealthy, good looking family who has recently given birth, not to worry. Forget about working a job while struggling through four years of college while also taking care of your baby. You have a degree from the school of life! This apparently qualifies you to write books, appear on family friendly TV shows and be paid up to $30,000 to speak about getting knocked up and all the lessons it has taught you.
