FROM THE SITE:

Did the internet just cause Sarah Palin to destroy evidence? The potential Veep is in a bit of trouble for using her personal, unarchived email address (gov.sarah@yahoo.com) to conduct state business. Which is, you know, questionable, because it violates public records requests and could stall information gathering in the Troopergate scandal. Now comes word that Anonymous, the fun-loving Internet gadflies based loosely around mostly lawless message board 4Chan, got a hold of the password to another Palin email account: gov.palin@yahoo.com. It all looks legit! The offending posts, screenshots, heretofore unseen family photos, and emails have all been deleted from Imageshack and 4Chan. But we have them. You want to read Sarah Palin’s email?

Ok, sad thing first: a good Samaritan reset the password and tried to alert Sarah. But he also posted the new password, causing multiple people to try to log in at once, freezing the account for 24 hours. And now, the account has been deleted! Which is, as we said, maybe destruction of evidence? So for now this is, we think, all we’ll get to see from this email account (if anyone finds evidence of saved emails, let us know.)

The left is still a bunch of middle-schoolers. They remind me of a bunch of giggly prepubescent girls. I’ll take them seriously if they ever manage to growup.

I could probably go onto yahoo right now and create an email account called gov.strickland@yahoo.com. Sounds like a hoax to me.

Well, it will be interesting to see.

either the left is deranged enough to actually hack and distribute it, or they are deragned enough to create the stuff for a hoax.

This is horrible, and it looks real. They have listed all of her contacts’ email and pictures I haven’t seen before of her kids.

Rules 1 & 2. Ebaumsworld is responsible for the attacks by the way.
