Bristol Palin offered job on Phoenix radio show

PHOENIX (AP) — A Phoenix radio station has offered a job to Bristol Palin.

Mix 96.9 host Mathew Blades says Sarah Palin's eldest daughter met with the station's management Friday and that they offered her a gig co-hosting with him on his morning show.

The 20-year-old daughter of the former Alaska governor hasn't accepted the offer but Blades says she seems interested.

The former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant has purchased a five-bedroom house in the town of Maricopa, which is south of Phoenix. She came to the forefront during her mother's 2008 vice presidential run when the Palin family announced that the then-17-year-old was pregnant.

1. Oh boy imagine the sparkling dialogue

She has all the personality of a limp dishrag.

[11 Bravo]

4. But to be fair, she can dance ...

like a refrigerator on wheels.

[BlueJazz]

27. LOL!

:rofl:

[K8-EEE]

31. LOL very fair & balanced Bravo! nt

2. She's the next George W. Bush

Few have gotten so many breaks for doing absolutely nothing of worth. Considering how far she's already gotten at her age, I'm a little bit terrified to think about where she's going to be twenty years from now.

[Johonny]

15. Please Bush has way more accomplished than her before enter public life

Bush ran several companies into the ground, went to college, the military and has a MBA. Bush is light years ahead of her in terms of life accomplishments before enter the public arena. She's a 20 year old with a high school education who's mom is famous but who personally has done nothing sans some reality TV. At least compared to even George Bush, Palin has totally no experience to make you wonder why anyone would want to hear her opinions. She's a reality TV star wanna be without the star.

[last_texas_dem]

16. True. I was exaggerating a bit.

I guess my main point is that, considering her young age and the amount of breaks she's had handed to her and the level of "prominence" she's already been able to attain for doing absolutely nothing, I hate to think about where she may be twenty years from now.

3. wow, no experience at all, but on a morning radio talk show just

like that. all you other suckers out there busting your butts, putting in the long hours, doing the grunt work, building experience; "EAT SHIT"

all that american blah, blah, blah, about working to get head is BS. it not what you know, it's who you know.

[Kennah]

8. It's worse than that

Bristol Palin's biggest claim to fame is getting pregnant while practicing abstinence.

Maybe that will be the focus (no pun intended) of her show. Knocked Up radio?

"Listen to Mix 96.9 and you can have Monica Lewinsky in the morning, Bristol Palin in the afternoon, and you'll have Krust E. Krabbes overnight."

[HughBeaumont]

5. "Bootstraps", bitches. "Bootstraps".

Repeat it over and over until you believe the magic.

"Bootstraps".

[spanone]

6. shows just how desperate the radio business is these days

[RandySF]

7. Taking Tripp to Arizona is a violation of Alaska law

Bristol and Levi never went to court to renegotiate the terms of custody. She would be in big trouble if he got off his lazy ass, got a real lawyer and went to court to get it enforced.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

9. Not a surprise, terrestrial radio is a wasteland

Being a fucking bore is now mandatory.

[eissa]

10. "So, like, um, isn't abstinence cool n stuff?"

"I wouldn't know since I don't actually practice it, but my mom says I have to tell people that sex is bad. And it is. So very, very bad. Letting yourself lose all control like that and giving in to your primal needs....wrapping yourself lustfully around each other as you passionately kiss, caress and grab at.....is it ok if I smoke on the air?"

[Stevenmarc]

11. We live in a great country where a knocked up amateur dancer can score a radio gig

on the back of a mother who is dumb as a box of rocks

[Obamanaut]

21. Or where the holder of the highest office in the land can get a BJ in the

Oval Office.

[Stevenmarc]

25. And your point is?

Are you really trying to equate Clinton with a bit of flotsam like Bristol Palin?

[Obamanaut]

26. Except for some of the wording, the point is agreement. I don't see a problem,

as some do, with single parents. Especially single parents who are supporting themselves and their child/children.

It is a wonderful country in that a president can show such disrespect for the office that BJs can occur, in the office. It is true that married people are sometimes less than faithful to their spouses, but most of them are not presidents.

[slackmaster]

12. She's qualified to apply makeup to radio personalities

And not much else.

[gratuitous]

13. Good to see a young single mother get ahead

Mix 96.9 is probably chock full of opportunities for Phoenix-area single moms, I'm sure.

[blondeatlast]

17. As a Phoenix resident, there is likely a strong connex between Mix 96.9 and never-

earnestly-involved-with-dad-momness.

[Kaleva]

14. Why bitch about a single mom who bought a house, signed up for college and was offered a job

Sure, it's her mother's fame or infamy that got her this but Bristol is using it to her advantage in a positive way.

[blondeatlast]

18. Long as you are okay with Paris Hilton as well, you have a point. nt

[Obamanaut]

19. Good for her. A single mom who is supporting her child. No one forces

people to pay her for her appearances on a speaking engagement.

I'm sure the producers of DWTS did not invite her to the show to avoid having their fingernails plucked out.

She is working. She has moved out of her parents' home. She is going to go to college. She has bought a house. She is moving on. Good for her.

[AzDar]

20. She has a face just made for radio.

:thumbsup:

[guitar man]

22. That's just really....wrong

but...I LOL'd!! :spray:

[Obamanaut]

28. How 'Mccainish' nt

[AzDar]

29. Apples and oranges. Chelsea Clinton was a child whose parents

tried to keep her out of the spotlight. Bristol Palin SEEKS the spotlight; made a shit-ton of money from being judged publicly, in fact. But I'm guessing you knew that... :hi:

[AsahinaKimi]

23. Lets see her dance her way though this one..

This is a disaster in the making.

[delightfulstar]

24. NOOOOOOO!!!!!

Please keep her the hell off our airwaves! It's bad enough that she's coming here in the first place....

[Urban Prairie]

30. It likely will be a short gig

Bristol might generate a bit of interest from the curious, but unless she has a modicum of hidden talent and a quick quipping wit, and being without any professional training or a college education, unlike the little that her mother apparently managed to get out of a communications degree with an emphasis in "journalism" (heh!!) after 6 years, I doubt if she will last more than a few months.
