Bristol Palin to hit speakers' circuit

Nice work if you can get it!

And she does have a kid to support.

She's "famous" for getting pregnant and being the daughter of someone famous and has the audacity to ask for that much money to talk to people about abstinence of all things.
At best that sounds like the premise for a comedy skit.

I'd look for it on SNL next weekend. Too good to pass up, and Lorne Michaels is not one to let current affairs get stale.

It also does make sense you would get someone like her to speak at something like that. Who do you pay when you want to have a lecture on politics other then someone who has been in politics? Who do you pay to give a lecture on drug abuse? Someone who has never touched drugs in their life? It makes perfect sense. Hopefully you don't have it in your mind that she'll come on stage dressed in a cheerleading outfit yelling "no sex = great sex!" (king of the hill reference if anyone gets it...) like something you'd see in a cartoon.

She can tell young girls, "I get paid $30,000 because I got knocked up at 17 and my mom's famous. You get nothing if you get knocked up because your mom's not famous". Yeah, that's quite a motivational speech.

She's a celebrity in her own right.

Following your examples, who would you get to talk about abstinence? Someone who has abstained.

Do you have laws on disclosing or limiting political contributions?
It can be a good way for companies to funnel money to a candidate in return for future favorable relations.

There have been rumors to that effect.

They are a bit like a screen door on a submarine or a picture window in a tank.

Mother wants best for her kids that's all. And Sarah Palin seems to be a good mother despite her drawbacks.
