Bristol Palin's teen pregancy work brings in $262,000

[RamboLiberal]

Who says work in the non-profit sector doesn't pay?

Tax documents show unwed mother Bristol Palin earned more than $262,000 for her role helping raise awareness for teen pregnancy prevention in 2009.

The most recent data for The Candie's Foundation that's posted online by research firm GuideStar shows compensation at $262,500 for the now-20-year-old daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee.

Bristol Palin was 18 when she was appointed as a teen ambassador for the New York-based foundation in 2009, months after giving birth to son, Tripp. She and the 2-year-old boy's father are no longer together.

Damn you McCain! Bristol sure scored the silver baby booty! Too bad all teen moms out of wedlock can't score like this. Sickening!

1. Her mother taught her well.

Both get paid big money to talk about things they are not qualified on.

2. It says some very unpleasant things about our society...

and the eternal search for "celebrity" that Bristol Palin's name was ever heard from following her mother's political run.

3. Wow. The moms on MTV's Teen Mom are doing well too

from what I've heard.

4. So this is pretty much the best reason ever for teen girls to go get pregnant.

Isn't this competely sensationalizing her own teen pregnancy and turning her into a celebrity for what she is now telling others not to do?

If my daughter would make this much money doing this I hope she gets pregnant at 18 as well. It's the job of the future!!

Seriously though, it says a lot about her character that she gets paid for this work rather than just volunteering her time.

5. Sure beats flipping burgers at McDonald's, hey Bristol?

6. That money puts her in the top 10%

and then DWTS keeps her there

I wonder what she will wow us with next??
