Both Cynthia Tucker, a columnist in Atlanta, and Jon Stewart, a political comedian on the teevee, have recently pointed out Bill O’Reilly’s peculiar (self-contradictory?) stances on famous teenagers getting knocked up. When Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant, O’Reilly shouted at her parents for not “supervising” her adequately — good parents, as we all know, should hold their daughter’s hands when she’s getting banged by some local knucklehead. When Bristol Palin got pregnant, however, O’Reilly said that it was understandable and a private matter for the family. So Tucker and Stewart called O’Reilly out on this, and O’Reilly got super mad and defensive! He then sent some Fox lackey to stalk Tucker at her home and chided Stewart for “editing.” PROBLEM SOLVED.

WELL OF COURSE: “A source close to the Beverly Hills baby store Petit Tresor tells CelebTV.com exclusively that a gift from Plain Mary was sent to Bristol Palin on behalf of Jamie Lynn Spears.” [CelebTV via Radar]

Was there a time when candidates weren’t asked to weigh in on every cultural touchstone of an issue on the campaign trail? Or did they just maybe used to know better? Last night, reporters asked Huckabee what he thought of the pregnancy of 16 year old Jamie Lynn Spears. Naturally, he thinks she made “right decision, a good decision” about not getting an abortion, but he doesn’t want other teenage girls to be thinking that getting pregnant is a good idea. Look, I have a suggestion, Mike. You don’t want kids to get obese and you don’t want them to get pregnany (laudable goals, both). How about instead of getting rids of sodas and snack foods in school and abstinence education, you simply show women in childbirth, perhaps from the Discovery Channel show Babies Special Delivery, on a loop in the cafeteria? Two birds, one stone, man. [Political Punch]
