Bristol Palin
If life throws you a curveball, become a spokesperson. Miss California Carrie Prejean wound up advocating in favor of marriage after her dustup over the gay marriage issue with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.
And now, unwed mother Bristol Palin has landed a similar role. According to The Associated Press, the 18-year-old daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been appointed as a Teen Ambassador for The Candie's Foundation. Bristol will participate in a town hall meeting Wednesday in New York.
She said in a statement that she wants to be a living example of the consequences of teen pregnancy. And, yes, she'll be paid. No word yet, though, on how much.
HEY JEN- we are still waiting on "the word" about how much YOU get paid. You do get paid for this cut and paste job, don't you? WriteWinger
This is crazy. Obviously she couldn't be abstinate herself, yet she thinks she's the one who should tell other young females to do so? Her situation is in no way typical of the average teenage female who gets pregnant. Her mom makes almost a quarter million a year. I doubt that Bristol's child will ever have to see an ACCESS card. drewrob23
Clearly drewrob23 you are missing the point. That she isn't "typical" only reinforces how much it HAS affected her and will continue to in the future, regardless of her parents' income. WriteWinger
I'm not missing the point at all. Maybe your experience with this issue is vast but I also have experience with this myself. If you really feel that this young women's life will be dramatically changed for the worse because of her being a single mother, you're totally mistaken. The average women who has a child out of wedlock is not typically made a "champion" for abstinate women. If they wanted a real ambassador the smart thing would have been for them to find a person who hasn't engaged in sexual activity. Instead they picked someone because of their "alleged" star power. I'm sure they can find real role models and not this joke. drewrob23
Wow!! She had a baby out of wedlock, she (and her family) act like she's gonna marry the guy, recants cause that was never the case (but to make it look better), and now she's getting paid to advocate against it?????? Am I the only one that's normal anymore???? Jen, is this cool???? Stupid politics to keep up images, lifestyles, & income. What makes her qualified to be an advocate, cause she comes from a good family yet this happens to her anyway??? Like she's the first......Puhhhleeeassse! Does anybody think she's actually gonna change ANYTHING???? XmarksTheSpot
I am completely convinced that America has an obsession with moronic behavior. Let me re-phrase that: the American media has a fascination with dopeheads. XmarksTheSpot
I think it's sort of like a traffic accident. You know you shouldn't slow down and rubberneck, but you can't stop yourself. Jenice Armstrong

About time, she could be on baby #3 by now. Geez, she and her mother... waste of life. jt126
Since this is still up, I'll say one last thing. This is like Snoop Dogg sayin "don't smoke weed y'all". Caugh Caugh. Don't smoke the trees. We need 'em for paper & whatnot. XmarksTheSpot
