Like mother, like daughter?

Bristol Palin is following in mom Sarah Palin's footsteps, joining a speakers bureau that will pay her between $15,000 and $30,000 per speech, the Associated Press reports.

Palin family attorney Thomas Van Flein confirmed a report by celebrity news website RadarOnline that the 19-year-old has signed with Single Source Speakers. Her speaking fee will depend on what group she's addressing and what she must to do prepare.

The Single Source website indicates Palin is available for conferences and fundraisers as well as women's, youth, abstinence and ''pro-life'' programs.

Van Flein said Palin – who lives in Anchorage and works in a physician's office -- is interested in expanding her message beyond teen pregnancy to include her experiences on the campaign trail and in the media spotlight; her parenting approach; and her outlook on life.

Palin became part of the 2008 presidential campaign when her pregnancy was announced soon after her mother was named Sen. John McCain's running mate. Unmarried, she had a son, Tripp, and has since spoken about abstinence and the challenges of life as a young single mother.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
