It seems that Bristol’s presentation at Washington University has been cancelled as well:

Washington U. Withdraws Bristol Palin Invitation

A student government group at Washington University in St. Louis has nixed an invitation to Bristol Palin to appear on a panel to talk about abstinence, amid student anger over the invitation and the $20,000 appearance fee, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Palin has spoken in many forums on the topic, and also drawn criticism, in part because of her ties to her mother, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. One student told the The St. Louis Beacon: “It’s fine to have someone speak about abstinence-only perspective — that’s fine — but it should not be her, and certainly not for $20,000. Her only qualification for speaking about abstinence is that she did not abstain.” A leader of the student panel that had extended the invitation said the decision to withdraw it had been a mutual one between its members and Palin.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that a man who used to make a living rolling around on a wrestling mat groping and grappling around with grown men in tight shorts with peroxided blond hair, in all kinds of positions and with each their hands, legs and sometimes faces all over each other, is going to worry about a uniformed security guard fondling his cock and ass for a few seconds. Ventura is so full of shit its unbelievable.

It is confusing in part because there about 20 colleges in the United States with Washington in the name. I just happen to know that particular one well. It is interesting that she is speaking as part of “Sex Week.”

John, thank you for pointing that out, it’s an important distinction. I did not know. I’ll update/refine my wording when I’m awake (it’s 4:30am PST, I’m dropping off!) I do not in any way intend to mislead on this topic.

Violet, While I can’t think of anything that I would to pay to hear Bristol Palin talk about, the comparison to the Oregon State University is misleading because Washington University in St,. Louis is a private institution and therefore not using state revenue to pay her ridiculous fee (which makes Tristan’s $3,000 plus expenses look like an even better deal).
