Bristol earned 262,000 for her "work" on teen pregnancy

[demtenjeep]

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Tax documents show unwed mother Bristol Palin earned more than $262,000 for her role in 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, Levi Johnston, are no longer together.

Palin family attorney John Tiemessen and foundation officials did not immediately return calls for comment Tuesday.

Palin, who still works for the foundation, told The Associated Press last year that girls would think twice about having sex if they knew how tough it is to be a mother. She said she "wasn't prepared at all" for the dramatic changes in her life since becoming a mom.

2. I had a long diatribe typed out but it was pretty snarky

My mama always said that if you can't say anything nice.....

16. Fuck that. She should try being a single mom with a poor family while flipping burgers.

Then she go lecture people on how tough being a single mom really is.

5. Foundation Being Used as a Conduit for Tax-Deductable Campaign Funding Much?

That's not compensation! Someone is using this foundation to make a tax-exempt political contribution to Sarah Palin!

This stinks.

6. "wasn't prepared at all" for the dramatic change

I mean who is prepared to make 262 K a year? I bet that was a dramatic change :) I guess it is money well made if her influence was effective, but the article doesn't have that kind of information.

17. If they prostitute themselves as pseudo-celeb, yes. It's not as if she has chosen to stay private.

11. On the grift

Being the marginally educated and unskilled daughter of a former 'public servant' has been a very very good living.

13. Sex workers are well paid ..n/t

[Initech]

14. Damn I'll probably never see that much in my lifetime!

Yet she gets it for doing what exactly? :grr:

[Liberal Veteran]

15. Yep...it's tough raising a kid on a quarter million a year.

So tough, you might have to work two "jobs" to tell everyone how tough it is juggle a baby, a speaking tour, and Dancing with the Stars!

That apple didn't fall too far from the parasitic tree, did it?

[deminks]

18. Do you think she put it in a college fund? Any?

or plunk it down on a house in Phoenix?

21. she'll have to save some for therapy for her son

Can you imagine knowing your mom went around lecturing about what a horrible thing it is to be your mom? Yeah, that builds the self-esteem!

22. Nice work if you can find it.

How come regular Americans never get jobs like that?
