Hacker wanted to 'derail' Palin

Throw away the key..If it is the son of a congressman (D) from Tennessee,he should resign as a congressman... God Bless America.

Keep up the good work,if she refuses to to cooperate with the investagtion then every thing goes.Semper Fi

Find em and hang em high! Nobody has the right to anothers email...Period!

The Department of Defense has to fend off millions of attacks EACH DAY from russian and chinese sources. Good thing they use tricky passwords on Yahoo.com. Or maybe they're not so freaking stoopid to use yahoo as a server!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey jeffjo, do you really think your email isn't being read?

JUST AS WE SUSPECTED! Obama and his Democrat Army of Hacking Creeps is going around hacking into people's emails and then posting personal photos and correspondence on the web. You could be targeted next by the Obama Army of Creeps. Just think what these people will do to us should they ever get their angry ten year old fingers on the nuclear button! These people who are behind this sickening invasion of privacy need to be locked up and throw away the key!

Representative Kernell (D) can't talk about his son? He had a talk with him and found out no one has contacted him. Maybe he should have asked him if he did it. Or maybe he didn't need to ask, he already knew. Obfuscating double talk. Typical. Once again, where is the "appearance of impropriety standard" that is immediately applied to Republicans by the left and the media? Now we will be told it was just a kid's harmless prank who had no idea it was illegal or anything other than just innocent curiosity. Notice that Kerndell did not DENY it!!!

It was wrong, sure, but to do your gov business by a yahoo account, please!!!!

If Palin and the First Dude have nothing to hide then what are they hiding? Government officials are bound by law to provide transparent access to this type of comminucations. Todd Palin has no more 'Executive Privilege' than the hacker who easily got into his account. If he/she gets subpoenaed can't he/she also claim Executive Privilege'? Why not neocons? Todd Palin got subpoenaed by the council Sarah Palin set up to superceed the council set up to investigate troopergate. The least he can do is give the governor the truth. But he won't. Linda Tripp was a hacker. She violated the trust of a very vulnerable young girl and wrecked her life. Then Tripp got six figures in a do-nothing government gig. There's a pig in lipstick for you.

Mag7-what a hypocritical slimeball you are. You do selective excerpts almost as good as the Associated Press. You forgot the other life Tripp affected which was the Lying King boy president Clinton. By the way, if you were not so loaded with kool aid, you would have noticed the Troopergate was rapidly turning into a molehill. The moveon.org types tried and failed to make it an issue where none existed. I hope they catch the hacker and roast his or her butt. The law is the law.

Hypocritical is declaring Executive Privilege to a subpoena. That must be some molehill. Clinton and forty of his staff answered ridiculous subpoenas, some as critically important as travelgate and the infamous Christmas card list. The republican congress spend millions of taxpayer dollars investigating holiday cards but nobody cried executive privilege. Silly me, laws don't apply to republicans, neither does the constitution.

hey dideediane..wake up. It was NOT a government account it was a personal account that this hacker ripped into and guess what "There was nothing there, nothing incriminating — all I saw was personal stuff" Nuff said.

Todd Palin does not have Executive Privilege, but being that he is married to the "person of interest" in the witchhun--I mean investigation he has the privilege of self-incrimination laws which apply to one's spouse. The fact that the e-mail account was personal makes the hackers actions a felony. Nothing was found on the account that was remotely incriminating. Relax good people, you won't hear about it again as it is not damaging to Republicans. Executive Privilege is what makes the whole investigation without merit. She can fire "at will" employees for being Dallas fans if she wants, in fact she does not need a reason at all. Get over it.

What’s most interesting is that the “Felon” who was smart (or dumb) enough to hack Palin’s E-Mail was dumb enough to post his confession on line. Seems the perpetrator’s E-Mail address belongs to David Kernell, 20, from Memphis, TN, a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and son of Democratic state representative Mike Kernell. “Young David” explains it this way in his on-line confession: “On Tuesday night, I broke into Sarah Palin's Yahoo! e-mail account, read the e-mails and posted the address and password to wreak general havoc with the account, using Yahoo!'s password recovery feature…. All I had to do was fill in the answers to some questions with information found in Wikipedia. After the password recovery was re-enabled, it took seriously 45 mins on Wikipedia and Google to find the info….. and then I promptly changed the password to popcorn and took a cold shower...” I suspect “young David” will be taking future “cold showers with a lot of his new buddies.” Piece of advice for "the little nipper," …. Try to avoid dropping the soap in the shower. I just hope he’s in the slammer in time to be “Bubba’s date for the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance.” The upside for Democratic State Rep Dad, Mike Kernell, is think of the tuition money you’ll save!

And, if they find that this 'legislative person' put his son up to it, he should be thrown in jail too.
