Angelina Jolie's Dad Gets Weepy About Palin's Pregnancy

Sassy Smith — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:11:00 GMT

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."

Lindsay Lohan Blogs About Sarah Palin and Pregnant Daughter

So little Disney star turned Chief Cooch has something to say about politics, and now she's blogged about Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin and her pregnant daughter. And we all care what Lindsay Lohan has to say, don't we? Of course we do, even if she's relegated to using a Myspace blog...which is hardly a blog, but whatever.

Here's what she had to say:

I've been watching the news all morning, like everyone else - and i keep hearing about the issues related to 'teen pregnancy'- It's all related to Sarah Palin and her 17 year old unmarried pregnant daughter. Well, I think the real problem comes from the fact that we are taking the focus off of getting to know Sarah Palin and her political views, and what she can do to make our country a less destructive place. Its distracting from the real issues, the real everyday problems that this country experiences.

I am concerned with the fact that Sarah Palin brought the attention to her daughter's pregnancy, rather than all world issues and what she believes she could possibly do to change them-if elected. I get Sarah Palin's views against abortion, but i would much prefer to hear more about what she can do for our country rather than how her daughter is going to have a child no matter what.

On another note-the last note- i heard a woman say on TODAY on NBC that teens are feeling as if they have to grow up faster. Really? Because, i think that girls that are CHOOSING to be sexually active and are making a conscious decision to grow up faster..... I think that parents need to recognize how important it is to talk to their children about the things that can result from being sexually active if they aren't protecting themselves (birth control, condoms, etc.)

I don't know what scares me more...Lindsay's hard-ass trailer trash face or the notion that she might actually have something intelligent to say.

Pregnant Teen Bristol Palin - Photos

The 17-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, Bristol, is pregnant - for real this time. She's being dubbed the 'Jamie Lynn Spears' of the political world,now that her mom has been chosen for John McCain's running mate. McCain said he was aware of the situation when he decided to choose Palin and obviously Palin herself knew about her daughter's pregnancy, so are they unfairly putting Bristol in the spotlight during this difficult time?

More photos after the jump!

Having a baby as a teen is not easy, even with supportive family to help you through it. Should Sarah have declined McCain's offer because her daughter is going through a pregnancy and thus putting her daughter out there, in the public eye, or does it matter?

Will any of this hurt their campaign or will anyone really not care that much? I mean, teens get pregnant all the time, we all make errors in judgement from time to time. Not many have to go through it in the spotlight, however.
