Prez Election 2008

Ann and Nancy Wilson are pissed at the Republican Party and have fired off a cease and desist letter to the McCain/Palin campaign.

Specifically, the Heart women are upset that the GOP has used their classic "Barracuda" as a theme song for Sarah Palin. TMZ obtained a statement from Heart's rep, who says "The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission."

The statement goes on: "We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music. We hope our wishes will be honored."

In lieu of a tramp stamp, Bristol Palin went with the more traditional unwed pregnant teen engagement ring.

Sources close to Jamie Lynn Spears say she completely sympathizes with 17-year-old Bristol Palin -- and JL has some unwed teen mother advice for her preggo peer.

We're told Jamie Lynn thinks Bristol needs to stay strong and be an example for young moms everywhere. Jamie also wants Bristol to be aware everyone is shining a spotlight on her right now, so it's important she remain as positive as her EPT!

Jamie Lynn can't even do that for Casey Aldridge.

Looking like models out of the J.Crew catalog's Unwed Pregnant Teen Couple edition, Sarah Palin's evangelical Christian daughter, Bristol, and her politically-trapped baby daddy, Levi Johnston, held hands as they waited to greet John McCain at the St. Paul airport on Wednesday.

If only Bristol and Levi stopped at holding hands, they wouldn't be in their latest predicament.

We'll tell you what we thought of the band ... as soon as we wipe the blood from our ears.

Take that, Internet conspiracy theorists!

Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, it was announced today, and she plans on keeping the child and marrying the baby daddy. Jamie Lynn Spears, is that you?

Palin has been dodging rumors the child she had back in April wasn't hers -- but rather her daughter's.

The guys over at Deadspin.com found this gem.

Diddy also doesn't think Palin should be so close to the top spot because there's not enough crackheads or crime in Alaska. And we all know a little crackhead experience goes a long way.

An epic feud has erupted on the air between Joe Scarborough, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and David Shuster. They're all accusing each other of being bias, partisan and all around D-bags. They can no longer hide their contempt for each other on the air. The deal is that Scarborough is odd man out because he's a former Republican congressman. The others are known Democrats, except for Shuster, who claims he's never had an affiliation with anything except Just For Men haircare.

The New York Post is quoting sources who say Tom Brokaw is disgusted at MSNBC's play to make it itself the official We Hate George W. Bush cable net.

Best story of the day ... former Prez candidate John Edwards proves there no such thing as bad publicity, because it's making him even richer.

It seemed like only yesterday Edwards admitted he was cheating on his cancer-stricken wife -- right, it was -- and his fee for speaking engagements is already going sky high.

Edwards is scheduled to speak at the University of Illinois' Urbana campus in mid-October. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Edwards will rake in $65,000 for the chat. But the paper reports Edwards' agent told a University official Edwards wants to book more engagements and charge more than the pre-Beverly Hilton rate.
