Now that she’s officially the world’s most prematurely randy underage teenager, Bristol Palin must feel like she hasn’t got a friend in the world.

But it’s OK, because there’s one girl thousands of miles away who knows exactly what Bristol Palin’s going through, and that’s former pregnant teenager Jamie Lynn Spears. According to reports, Jamie Lynn Spears was so moved by the story of how Sarah Palin‘s daughter had loads of underage unprotected sex with a redneck hockey player until she ended up getting accidentally pregnant that she’s sent her a gift.

And, who knows, Jamie Lynn Spears might even end up making the trip to Alaska to teach Bristol Palin all about the joys of becoming a young mother. Or at least she would if only her little brat would stop screaming and crying and begging for attention and stealing the best years of her life away from her all the time. But otherwise, yeah.

It’s been quite a week for Sarah Palin so far, hasn’t it? When it started she was just basically your average gun-loving smalltown mother from Alaska, a sort of cross between a sexy librarian and Cruella De Vil. Now, though, Sarah Palin is one of the most famous women in the world.

That’s not because she’s the newly-named Republican vice presidential candidate, by the way. It’s because she’s the newly-named Republican vice presidential candidate and her teenage daughter couldn’t keep it in her pants long enough to not get pregnant.

Sarah Palin’s big enough to cope with all the intrusion that her pregnant daughter has caused – she’s already fended off accusations from political heavyweights like Diddy, plus she’s from Alaska so she could probably stick an axe through a killer whale’s face without flinching if she needed to – but her pregnant daughter Bristol probably doesn’t know what’s hit her.

It must be terrible for her – young, pregnant at a socially unacceptable age, stupid name, brought up in a moronically strict household under the eyes of a vengeful God with a slightly unsuitable boyfriend and a much more famous relative who sort of acts a bit clueless in public… wait a minute, that sounds like little Jamie Lynn Spears.

Jamie Lynn Spears, you’ll remember, was basically the beta version of Bristol Palin. She got pregnant at 16 – even though her mother thought she was some sort of parenting expert – and had to deal with the ensuing public outcry before finally having the baby and emerging as a hero for sexually active yet clumsy rednecks everywhere.

And Jamie Lynn Spears has noticed the similarity between her and Bristol Palin too, which is why she’s sent her a little gift. The New York Daily News reports:

“Dear Bristol: Hang in there!!!!! XXOO,” the supportive card from the “Zoey 101″ star read, underscoring the challenges she too has faced. Packaged in a mini pink suitcase, the $60 set of five coordinating burp cloths from Plain Mary are embroidered with “Babe,” “Loved,” “Yummy,” “Fresh,” and a skull & bones image.

That’s sweet, although 17-year-old mother Jamie Lynn Spears sending pregnant 17-year-old Bristol Palin a burp cloth with ‘Yummy’ written across it doesn’t show much thought. Perhaps she should have ordered a bespoke set with ‘Political Pawn’, ‘I Heart The Death Penalty’ or ‘Hey, I Look Like Karl Rove’ embroidered into them instead.

Or she could have been a teensy bit more honest and sent her a big bottle of gin, some sleeping pills and the words ‘Here, you need these more than me now’ scrawled on a baby puke-covered Post-It. Because, let’s face it, that’s probably what she’s thinking.
