Republicans Lack Heart!
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."
We're told Ann was watching TV today and heard the song at the convention when Palin was touted.
UPDATE: Twenty minutes after we posted this story, the GOP ended the evening after McCain's speech with the song, "Barracuda."
Stay tuned.

Republicans to TMZ: We Can't Hear You!
They better get some nurses to Minnesota, stat -- because some big time Republicans developed serious hearing problems in the Twin Cities. Former Senator Fred Thompson, MN Guv Tim Pawlenty, Rep. Adam Putman went deaf on us, when we asked 'em about Bristol Palin and her Levi guy.

Levi & Bristol: The Writing's on the ... Finger
Levi Johnston is apparently doodling his way to the altar, tattooing his baby mama's name on his ring finger. Nothing says love like some regrettable ink!
In lieu of a tramp stamp, Bristol Palin went with the more traditional unwed pregnant teen engagement ring.

Jamie Lynn to Bristol: Teen Motherhood Is a Blast!
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!

Unprotected Sex Has Its Perks
One minute you're hooking up with your girlfriend after a kegger, the next you're on stage at the Republican National Convention!
Jamie Lynn can't even do that for Casey Aldridge.

Palin Don't Preach: Bristol and Levi Unite
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.

Sarah P. -- Haven't We Seen You Before?
Alaska Governor turned VP nom media sensation Sarah Palin is a huge inspiration to a lot of women. Turns out, she's been inspired by a lot of famous women too.

Senator Bristles at Bristol Spears
Don't go comparin' Lynne Spears to Sarah Palin, at least to Utah Senator Orrin Hatch. True, Lynne and Sarah both have had to deal with knocked up teenage daughters. Both live in the hinterlands. Both have 70's hair. Ridiculous, says Orrin.

Huckabee: I'm a Barack Star Too!
He may have lost his bid for the presidency, but Evangelical Christian Mike Huckabee still rocks out harder than John McCain -- playing with his band Capitol Offense at a Minneapolis club last night. 
We'll tell you what we thought of the band ... as soon as we wipe the blood from our ears.

Carville to Palin: I Got Your Tail Number
Several of us here at the Zed laughed our asses off last night, when Congresswoman Michele Bachmann defended Sarah Palin's credentials in what can only be described as a soft ball out of the park -- for James Carville. It even cracked Larry King up.

Palin: From MILF VP to GILF VP
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.
Man, weren't things a lot simpler back in the day?

McCain's VP -- Beaver Roundup
Hopefully Sarah Palin has become the master of her own teleprompter, because she absolutely sucked at it in 1988 as a 24-year-old sports anchor for KTUU-TV in Anchorage. The third member of The Judds entertained Alaskans with the Beaver roundup in the 4 minute, deer-in-the-headlights performance.
The guys over at Deadspin.com found this gem.

Diddy: "McCain is Buggin' the F*** Out"
Are there any black people in Alaska? If there are, Diddy sure doesn't know about 'em -- and on his latest online power ramble he blasts John McCain for picking Sarah Palin as his VP.
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.
