Bristol Palin is so "strong" and "independent" that she needs her mommy to sign books with her.

 From the Associated Press:

Sarah Palin will be stopping by for the start of her daughter's book tour.

The former Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate will appear with Bristol Palin on Wednesday in Bloomington, Minn., at the Barnes & Noble in the Mall of America.

HarperCollins Publishers announced Monday that the two will sign copies of their latest books.

Sarah Palin says in a statement that she is "so proud" of her daughter and " thrilled to be joining her to kick off her book tour."

So what do we think here?

Are Bristol Palin's book sales so pathetic that she cried to her mommy until she agreed to help pimp out her book of lies?

Or...

Did Sarah Palin see this as the perfect opportunity to unload a few hundred copies of her OWN crappy second book because it bombed so badly during HER last book tour?

Or...

Is Bristol Palin simply incapable of doing ANYTHING for herself without her mother telling her what to talk about, and what NEVER to talk about?

Well no matter which one is the most accurate, the whole damn thing is just pathetic.

BTW I wrote this whole blog post with no help whatsoever from my mother.
