Bristol Palin is joining the speakers circuit and will command between $15,000 and $30,000 for each appearance, Palin family attorney Thomas Van Flein says.

Van Flein confirmed a report by celebrity news website RadarOnline that said the daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has signed with Single Source Speakers. He added that her exact fees will depend on factors such as the group she's addressing and what she must do to prepare.

Briston Palin, now 19, was thrust into the spotlight as a pregnant teenager during her mother's unsuccessful vice presidential campaign in 2008. She gave birth to a son, Tripp, and has since spoken about abstinence and the challenges of life as a young, single mother.

She is listed on the speaking group's website as being available for conferences, fundraisers, special events and holidays, as well as women's, youth, abstinence and "pro-life" programs.

Her fee is denoted by four question marks, meaning,"Call to discuss!" The same designation is given to New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees.

Somehow I don't think that her experience as a single teen-age mother is going to be very relevant to the average American teen-age mother.

And any unwed teen-age mother preaching abstinence is am effing joke.

Good money in the Palin brand though.

What tabloids? I never saw a word about her “clubbing” and I have to read everything.

[Non-Sequitur]

What has she ever done that would be worth listening to?

Neglecting birth control on one occasion apparently.

I don’t remeber Chelsea Clinton getting knocked up at 17...do you?

Good! She has a young child to support with 0 help from the sperm donor.

“Why would anyone pay $15-30 K to hear what a 19 year old high school grad who can’t keep her legs closed, has to say?”
Sounds just like the kind of nasty comment one would encounter at DU, dKos or PuffHo.

You tell 'em Josh! Say now, send a cc of your post to Bristol and you might win a date with that cute lil gal!

[Deb]

Thanks, I’ll hunt ‘em.

She's a Palin! That should be enough. Quit talking heresy.

[mkjessup]

There you go again Gunner, ‘palin’ around, lol

“Bristol Palin is joining the speakers circuit and will
command between $15,000 and $30,000 for each appearance,”

“No one ever went broke underestimating the ignorance of the American public.” Mencken or PT Barnum. Or Obama.

I remember Chelsea falling down drunk on the streets of New York and trash talking her country on trips with her mother.

Maybe Bristol has something to say that girls her age might listen to. If nothing else, how to spot a jerk.

Its kind of surprising that so-called conservatives would begrudge someone hefty paydays, but I guess Sarah-hating includes equal contempt for her family.

Some of us are sinners indeed !!!!

[Deb]

NO wonder I didn't see it, I don't read the Daily Kos, Daily News or Beast. I leave the left-wing media to the left-wing.

Since she wasn't drinking and was just with some friends I really don't see the outrage. Maybe I don't hate her mother enough.

[MollyKuehl]

Sarah-hating??? Really? For constitutionally expressing disagreement with Palin? Or opposing views are okay as long as it fits yours? And what on earth does Bristol Palin has to say that any other knocked up, unmarried teen age girl wouldn't?? What exactly is making her to be the epitome of piousness and different than the rest of the knuckleheads from MTV's "16 and pregnant" ??

[rintense]

Talking to her peers about life as a teenage mom is more powerful than anything a parent can say. Sorry, but its true.

Yeah, no unwed teenage mothers have ever done that before, what a trailblazer!
