Sarah Palin's teenage daughter's pregnancy certainly has tongues a waggin' - even Angelina Jolie's dad, Jon Voight gets choked up about it.
Voight attended the Republican National Convention in Minnesota on Monday night and he became emotional when talking about Bristol Palin's pregnancy.
As Angelina's dad, who is a public supporter of John McCain, walked the red carpet, he was surronded by reporters and was asked about Palin. He said of the 44-year-old Sarah, she's a "breath of fresh air," and then he brought up her 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy.
Voight said, his voice choked, "Like all families, they have their dramas." He composed himself, perhaps thinking of his strained relationship with his own daughter, and said of the teen, "She'll get through this."
Bristol's parents said in a statement, "Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned... We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents."
The continued, saying that Bristol and "the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family."
