Candie's Foundation Statement on Bristol Palin Compensation

"We know that Ms. Palin's work has had a positive effect on teens."

The leftists and their media lapdogs have their panties all in a bunch over the fact that Bristol Palin was well paid by The Candies Foundation as a teen ambassador. In response to their whining, the foundation has released this statement:

For ten years, The Candie's Foundation has been working to prevent teen pregnancy by producing and funding celebrity-driven print, television, radio and online public service announcements. Ms. Palin was compensated for her work with the foundation, which included appearing in video and print PSAs, two town hall meetings, and numerous media interviews.

The message of the foundation about teen pregnancy prevention has generated more than ONE BILLION media impressions – tremendous reach for any teen pregnancy prevention campaign. We know that Ms. Palin's work has had a positive effect on teens. In a recent independent national survey of 1,000 teens that compared a Bristol Palin PSA with those of another national teen pregnancy organization that use non-famous teens, more than twice as many teens (57% vs. 27%) said Bristol's PSA "got my attention", three times as many (41% vs. 11%) said it was "powerful", and more than twice as many (38% vs. 16%) said it was "memorable".

Bristol Palin is one of dozens of celebrities who has worked with the foundation. She has been a courageous and powerful partner to the foundation as we attempt to discourage teen pregnancy.

Curious, is it not, how the left loses its mud because a non-profit organization, which depends on donations freely given, paid Bristol Palin in six figures. Yet these same leftists think it's all right that millions of dollars of taxpayer money is being used to kill innocent infants in the womb. That's what passes for morality on the left these days.

Pray for Bristol Palin

*
According to ABC News tipsheet The Note, Bristol Palin will appear with the stupid, mostly leftist harpies who host ABC's "The View" Wednesday.

Combine stupidity, ignorance and nastiness and you have View host Joy Behar. She's famous for saying of the term used to describe the Friday following Thanksgiving, which is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season, "Isn't it a little racist to call it Black Friday?" Whoopi Goldberg had to school Behar that, no, it is not even a little raaaacist to say that.

But that was a case of the blind leading the blind, as Goldberg is no Mensa candidate herself. Nor is she the pinnacle of moral insight. Whoopi demonstrated the ethical bankruptcy of Hollywood by defending confessed child molester Roman Polanski, saying what he did to a 13 year old girl "wasn't rape rape."

For anyone who ever doubted the courage of the teen mom who is Sarah Palin's eldest daughter, Bristol's willingness to walk into that den of iniquity should lay them aside. Doubtless she had little choice in the matter, as her role as an ambassador for The Candie's Foundation likely requires her to go where they say.

Still, we will pray for her, and hope that you will do so also. No praying for Tripp to burp up his strained beets all over Joy Behar and Whoopie Goldberg on the set of The View, however. That would be a sin.

Bristol makes first appearances for foundation

Gov. Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol is making her first appearances as Teen Ambassador for The Candies Foundation, working to raise awareness of teen pregnancy prevention.

She was a guest on ABC's "Good Morning America" (story here and video here), as well as NBC's "Today Show" (story here and video here).

The young lady seems to be doing her job for Candies, including dealing with the media, withall the poise and grace that could be expected of an 18-year-old. She will participate in a town hall discussion sponsored by the foundation later today.

CBS, feeling left out because Bristol chose to appear on the two other major alphabet networks and not theirs, lashed out by giving Bristols ex-fiance Levi Johnston some more air time in an attempt to spoil the work Bristol is doing. We would expect nothing better from the snarky See-BS.
