What do Bristol Palin and a Robot have in common? Check out this clip of Bristol in her “The Secret Life of the American Teenager†debut for the answer.

(Does anyone else think "The Program" sounds like a cult?)
I would like to say that her performance is underwhelming, but that would be a compliment. Bristol Palin’s attempts at acting make me almost think that her partner in the scene, Amy, played by Shailene Woodley, is the next Meryl Streep. Egads!

Oh, Bristol, haven’t you been watching your mum? Haven’t you gleaned some acting tips from Queen Sarah, herself? You haven’t been completely sheltered from your mom’s political theater. You have to have learned something other than monotone and vacant.
Sigh.
I’ve seen better acting when reality show celebs make 10 second cameo appearances on “The Soup.†Bristol Palin’s complete drabness in her role as herself makes me long for, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, the cast of Jersey Shore, or Tori Spelling.
The Bristol Palin episode of “The Secret Life of the American Teenager†airs on July 5, on ABC Family.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go cry.

They still had to have a big budget to snag Bristol Palin. Word on the street is she's pulling in 30 large for her "speaking engagements." I imagine it's at least as much for television "acting" appearances.
Oh, and "F list"... Ha! Love it!
If you inspire people you have to do it for free. You can only get paid for spewing utter B.S.
What's sad is that you know they didn't do just one take of this. This was her best take after editing.
Palin: "I would say...hmmmmm.... dude you play a mean french horn"
Lipton: "...but Ma plays cello.."
Palin: "I was just reading my cue card dude.... they gave me 30k...for 30 large, I'll read just about anything....Kinda like a news anchor. I want to be Gretchen Carlson when I grow up, though I know Fox news won't hire me because I am not blonde."
