Give it time, I hear she's studying Paris Hiltonism. The study of how to be famous without actually ever doing anything.

Id be interested in hearing what she has to say.. Not because Im not educated on teen pregnancy, but because I give her a lot of credit for putting up with all the BS the media has put her through. Good for her for dealing with her issues, dealing with the media, and still be willing to stand out there and share her story..

When I look for deep philsophical questions in life I drop reading my Nietzsche book and pick up some words of wisdom from the Palin family.

True, not to worry. She'll be posing and chatting up a storm on 'talk shows' any day now, and already has (Today show, I believe).

Sure.. youve never gone to a concert before? Have you never paid to see someone speak or tell a story? Do you go to the movies?? Do you see plays?

Shes charging $30k to the venue, not to the individual.

Or perhaps she could get an education and a real job. Just a thought. That's what this lib thinks is a good role models for teens.

The difference between these two is that Bristol Palin was thrust into the public eye. She did not seek it out. Why should she not take advantage of whatever opportunities come her way?

What story? She had unprotected sex with a dirtball and got pregnant. Wow, great, kudos
