Closing in on the Palin e-mail hacker

The Tennessean reports what blogs have been buzzing about all day:

The son of state Rep. Mike Kernell has been contacted by authorities in connection with a probe into the hacking of the personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Kernell confirmed on Thursday.

Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, said his 20-year-old son David had been contacted by authorities investigating the hacking of Palin’s personal email account.

The FBI and the Secret Service started a formal investigation on Wednesday into the hacking.

David Kernell is a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Mike Kernell said he spoke to his son on Thursday, as he does on a regular basis.

Kernell otherwise declined to comment, or discuss his son’s whereabouts and whether he was in custody.

So when the FBI and Secret Service produce tangible evidence, what will the ball-less, compassionate conservatives in the Bush Administration do with it?
Eunuchs. Political eunuchs. Karl Eunuch Rove -- even though he's nominally hung-up his empty cod-piece -- will lead the surrender-charge to a Grand Accommodation, as the other day he called on "both sides" to end their "negative ads". (Kind of like Obummer calling on "both sides" to end the Soviet invasion of Georgia.)

The Eunuchs of the GOP could teach the French a thing or two about surrender.

Democrat talking point has no proof:

The break-in of Palin’s private account is especially significant because Palin sometimes uses non-government e-mail to conduct state business. Previously disclosed e-mails indicate her administration embraced Yahoo accounts as an alternative to government e-mail, which could possibly be released to the public under Alaska’s Open Records Act.

Did you learn from it? If so, you’re forgiven.

I didn’t -— just don’t hit abuse. But I will call something out.

That kid is exactly how God made him, presumably for a damn good reason that I don’t know. Mocking God is not wise.

Yes a state chair for the Tennessee for Obama campaign.

A great opening for the GOP

I want to know whether the Obama Campaign has any fingerprints on this.

Even if there were no direct orders, Obama has certainly encouraged this sort of activity "I WANT YOU TO GET IN THEIR FACE FOR ME!"

...Gabriel Ramuglia, the Athens, Ga.-based Webmaster of Ctunnel, said today that URLs in screenshots of Palin’s e-mail — photos were posted online yesterday on 4chan.org and other sites...

The owners/admins of these sights should be charged with several crimes themselves as well as ABC radio which has commented on the contents in the emails. It is a crime to posses known stolen information just as much as it is a crime to posses child-porn. I really think in a climate of the growing crime of ID theft - Heads should roll.

This is the modern equivalent of the Watergate break ins.

Don’t know what you did, but you handled the deletion graciously. Good for you.

Yeah, I noticed this too. I would not think that one would want to brag that their kid had violated federal law and was being investigated by the FBI. But what do I know...

Better for him to say it before it is confirmed by other means.

I have made careless remarks.

In retrospect, taking into account others feelings, I felt ignorant.

Lucky for me, FR has the compassion to forgive.

The post needs to be removed.

The father has a blog named “Left Wing Cracker.”

Another self-loathing Caucasian.

what has happened to FR?....

Why do people always post that stupid question when one poster posts something that later gets deleted?
