Subject: Bristol Palin commands between $15,000 and $30,000 on Speaker's circuit.

Written By: Frank on 05/18/10 at 10:38 am

Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol Palin, is hitting the speakers' circuit and will command between $15,000 and $30,000 for each appearance, Palin family attorney Thomas Van Flein said Monday.

Someone actually wants to pay this 19-year-old $30,000 to talk to their group?

I can see it now:


You too, can get paid for speaking when you are knocked up at the age of 16. And I can also see Russia from my house.  :D :D ;D ;D ;D

For $30K I certainly would expect for her to "speak into the mike".  ;)

You call yours "Mike," eh?
???

What does Bristol talk about?  Do they bring her around to talk to teens about personal responsibility.  "Don't have a baby when you're 16, kids, because your dad will get jealous when he sees you making more for a speech than he netted last quarter!"
:D

how on earth can you compare not so bright Bristol to the witty and highly intelligent Juno? The only things they have in common are getting preggers at a young age and the fact that they both have stupid names.

Got this from The Onion:


A draft contract containing details about Sarah Palin's speaking fee and requirements was obtained by California State University, Stanislaus, students who claim they found the document in a Dumpster.  Here are some of her demands:


Hotel room must have a "moose couture" styling to it
Most recent copy of all newspapers
Children's caretaker must be of Korean ethnicity or higher
50-gallon aquarium containing a minimum of eight piranhas that haven't been fed in a week and a bucket of ducks
If the name of the speaking venue exceeds four syllables, then it must be temporarily changed to "Thompson Hall"
Book of word searches and package of string cheese for Todd
Extra red clothingjust in case something happens to her other red clothing
Audio engineer must ensure speakers are capturing full (I_am_a_loser_who_has_no_respect_for_women)iness of voice
Dressing-room lighting fixtures must be equipped with non-efficient bulbs
Palin must have "five (5) black pillar candles of 13" in length and 3" in circumference, one (1) stone altar of Baphomet, one (1) obsidian dagger, and one (1) baby delivered to her dressing area no less than two hours prior to her speech"

Of course. That fee will probably rise. The "haters" who spend so much time talking about the Palins are the reason they are making insane amounts of money at these events. Neither have a huge following of people. Its those who don't follow them yet talk about them all the time that create this false value for them. They're laughing all the way to the bank.

Want them to go away? Stop talking about them. It's a simple concept that most seem unable to comprehend.

It isn't the "haters" who pay them the insane amounts.

I don't hate the Palins.  I hate the state of politics that lets a crew of goofballs like them get so close to power.
