Spears to Palin: 'Hang in There!, XXOO'

September 03, 2008 2:59 PM

Spears_palin_080903_mnJamie Lynn Spears is showing some love to the latest-most-famous teen mom-to-be: Bristol Palin.

The 17-year-old “Zoey 101” star and new mom sent a gift of $60 pink burp cloths to the pregnant, unwed, 17-year-old daughter of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin -- and along with it, a message of teen mom solidarity.

A spokesperson for Petit Tresor, the Los Angeles baby boutique from which the gift was bought, told ABCNews.com that Spears included a card with the package that read “Dear Bristol, Hang in there! XXOO, Jamie Lynn Spears.”

The spokesperson confirmed the Plain Mary burp cloths (pictured below), a popular baby accessory among celeb parents, were ordered by phone on behalf of Spears.

Contacted by ABCNews.com for comment, Spears' rep said she could not confirm the spokesperson's report.

Spears, the younger sister of Britney Spears, gave birth to her first child in June. Like Palin, who plans to marry the 18-year-old father of her child, Spears is engaged to Casey Aldridge, the 18-year-old dad of baby Maddie.

Two teen pregnancies, two national sensations: Sounds like it’s time for Spears and Palin to start the sisterhood of the traveling maternity pants.

What a sad day in the US. A child giving advice to another child! America, wake up!

I love the way democrats attack women as soon as they gets too close to a position of power. First it was Hillary, the media had a field day with her, yet up until the point she ran for the nomination she was the media darling, now its not only Palin's turn but her daughters too. I hope most women can see the diabolical pattern here and vote accordingly. Yes I was a Hillary supporter and yes I was furious with the way her fellow democrats and media attacked her, but I got over it for the good of the party. Now they are doing it again and I've come to realize I'm in the wrong party. This attack on this young girl will not sit well with a lot of women, me included and it will backfire in the medias face.

Ahhh, how cute - it looks like McCain finally found a legitimite way to get one of the Spears involved in his campaign.

Teach these kids to use a Trojan for god's sake!

If an old fart like John McCain can run for President anything is possible???

John McCain, is as boring a counting stars with his "Country First" crap slogan, the country has always been first where has he been for the last 72 years... in a POW camp? The Republicans screwed this country up for the past 8 years and we will get a change with Obama not McCain.

John McCain is re-tooled, re-engineered, retro, clone, fake, want-to-be George Bush all over again and nothing new but warm over crap.


Obama will win the election in November.

You're right Jill .. absolutely right on with your comments and IT WILL backfire! Trust me!

white trash unite

it's good to have role models

Since when did liberals become the experts on childcare? NOW - that's laughable .. IF you decide to keep the child and not kill it!!

This will all backfire big time.

Nobody was fired up until now. This will ensure McCain/Palin win. Millions of women will NOT want it to look like women can't be VP because they're not tough enough.

The dems picked on the WRONG woman.

President McCain - get use to it!

Who better to know what Bristol is going through than Jamie Lynn. I think it was a very sweet thing to do. As for all of you casting stones at young girls, shame on you! Like it or not facts are that 3 in 10 teens will get pregnant. It isn't a new phenom, it has been going on since the dawn of time, so get over your partisan disgust. It happens to dems too.

Oh , boy just what the McCains need....Jamie Lynn giving advice. This is a time I REALLY pray that GOD BLESSES AMERICA! And hope and pray that the Palin TRASH does sully the White House further!

Who's being sexist? What? Are we not supposed to look at Palin's record with a critical eye because she's a woman?

Please, she's no victim and she sure as hell is no Hillary Clinton!

Posted by: freedomfighter1975 | Sep 3, 2008 3:35:49 PM

MILLIONS will tune into Palin's speech. This is exactly what Obama DID NOT need. Her speech will be awesome and she'll come away the winner. Obama & Biden will look like yesterday's news.

Ouch. It's over.

Good Lord, know one knows for sure if the girl used birth control or a condom...but hello, those things are not 100% guranteed. I know plenty of girls that have gotten pregnant using either a condom or birth control. Just b/c they are for abstinance does not mean anything. None of us were in the bedroom w/ them. Also, just b/c her daughter is pregnant does not make her a bad person. I know that teens will do what they want and some have it in them to defy their parents. My sister and i are a year apart, yet she is the one who had parties and did other "typical" teenage stuff. I was a good child, didnt party or anything, fairly innocent until i left home, even then though i didnt party. So where did my mom go wrong with my sister and not me? No where some kids just do stuff like that and others don't. Also to those who say the 4-5month old is hers, how is that possible? She is 5 months pregnant and the baby is 5 months old, doesnt really work that way...I wish more people in this world had common sense....

I meant is I pray that the Palin TRASH DOES NOT SULLY THE WHITE FURTHER!

Posted by: lions2tigers | Sep 3, 2008 3:37:09 PM

freedomfighter,

They're not just looking at her record....they're looking at whether or not she should be running for VP as the mother of 5.

All this coming from the so-called pro women's groups who use to get furious with the double standard.

Where are the feminists now? LOL. I thought you wanted women in power! Now you're admitting they CAN'T do it all!

LOVE IT!!!

Liberal logic:

Put the nobody who has done nothing at the TOP of your ticket...

But criticize the inexperience at the BOTTOM of the other guy's ticket.

You can't make this stuff up!

Teen pregnancy happen's all time, I have no ill feelings towards a 17 year old who made a mistake. Now a 44 year old holier than thou politician who runs around screaming abstinence only education, slashes funding for teenage moms, and want books banned from libraries because they don't reflect her world view I have plety of distain for! Palin's a facist!
