Bristol Palin is joining the speakers circuit and will command between $15,000 and $30,000 for each appearance, Palin family attorney Thomas Van Flein says.

Van Flein confirmed a report by celebrity news website RadarOnline that said the daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has signed with Single Source Speakers. He added that her exact fees will depend on factors such as the group she's addressing and what she must do to prepare.

Briston Palin, now 19, was thrust into the spotlight as a pregnant teenager during her mother's unsuccessful vice presidential campaign in 2008. She gave birth to a son, Tripp, and has since spoken about abstinence and the challenges of life as a young, single mother.

She is listed on the speaking group's website as being available for conferences, fundraisers, special events and holidays, as well as women's, youth, abstinence and "pro-life" programs.

Her fee is denoted by four question marks, meaning,"Call to discuss!" The same designation is given to New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees.

Oh I know that, silly! This just seems to have spun into one of *those* threads pretty quickly!

Yeah, this is GREAT!!! LOL

Hahahaha, “elude”? Really? I think you mean “exude”, stupid. You can’t quite carry off the intellectual act, or maybe you’re doing Norm Crosby’s act.

[mkjessup]

Um ... you would be wrong buttinsky. I actually was only commenting about the use of language, not what molly had to say. Some examples ....

I ain't no buttinsky, don't even try that jive, you make a post, and it's fair game for anybody and you know that.

I don't see many FReepers who talk like this.

How many have you heard talking at all?

Just wondering.

[Deb]

One does so appreciate pretend intellectuals when they don’t understand the meaning of the words they use, doesn’t one?

[rintense]

Some do, but most freepers know she’s not perfect- both politically and otherwise.

[mkjessup]

i have a Tootsie Roll Pop right here (grape) and I can get more for everybody!!

Alrighty then! Where's mine? LOL

You don't need to be mean, no one was attacking you, unless Molly is your life partner.

Not even close Deb, but every one was a n00b at some point, si'?

[You've never SEEN 'mean' outta me lol]

[MollyKuehl]

So cast him aside, HE gave you the authority to do so :)

[MollyKuehl]

I meant ELUDE! But thanks for calling me stupid. Keep it classy! And smart! Again, your argumentative powers are overwhelming.

[MollyKuehl]

I understand that. Nobody is perfect, in politics or otherwise. But that doesn't mean a cascade of personal attacks, name calling and pure venom coming from the Palin supporters if one, God forbid, dares not support her or agree with her. It is pure insanity. Or, to quote Barney Fyfe: It's nuts.

Some of these people belong on DU site and a mental institution. At the same time!

[trisham]

Good for her.

When you’re on FR for a long time, it becomes almost knee jerk to question to motives of newbies. The troll count lately has been small, but it still happens.

[mkjessup]

You don't even drink the Alaskan KoolAid, you're sniffing it right out of the package!

LOL, I don't care WHO you are, that right there was funny as Hell!

[MollyKuehl]

Here’s the secret: i’ve been on FR (lurking and donating every single quarter) since 1998. I just started posting at the insistent suggestion of my best friend, an old time FReeper. Seniority doesn’t mean a thing and Ted Kennedy proved it. So to see some using it as if it’s a valid argument when I am so sure they never donated to FR in their life, it’s just plain lame. And liberal, since lurking is a form of entitlement.

[trisham]

Thank you. Someone needed to say it.

[rintense]

I’m not saying anything about seniority. You’ve completely missed my point. What I AM saying is the longer you are a freeper, the more likely you are to spot trolls- and sometimes are wrong.

[Deb]

I was indeed a noob, as were all of we flawed humans, struggling against great odds and calamities, who just seek a harbor of tranquility from the storm and some clean panties, but I didn't talk like a friggin' tranny who lost his dictionary!

But I've got a Tootsie Roll Pop with your name on it and I hope to never see you "mean"!

[carton253]

Nothing’s stopping the knuckleheads from doing the same.

[Deb]

My pleasure.

[MollyKuehl]

I know you didn’t mention seniority. I was doing an all-in-one typical attack I’ve seen here to be the norm and I should have elaborated on that. My apologies!

[MollyKuehl]

Thanks :)
