David Kernell, best known for hacking into Sarah Palin's personal Yahoo account during the 2008 presidential campaign, has died from complications of multiple sclerosis. After being sentenced to a year in prison he got his life back on track, by most accounts.

Kernell, 30, was a student at the University of Tennessee 10 years ago when he successfully guessed Palin's security answers, which allowed him to change the password and get access to the Yahoo account, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported while confirming his death last week in California through family members.

Hmmm.... for those who don't know he was a Wikileaker:

Julian Assange wined and dined at US Embassy The Telegraph ^ | 12-13-10 | Andrew Gilligan ...But less than a year ago, the founder of WikiLeaks was officially entertained at a US Embassy cocktail party by one of the very diplomats whose secrets he would soon spill to the world. Mr Assange's site had already published dozens of leaks embarrassing to the US, including secret Guantanamo Bay detainee handling manuals and the full emails of Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate. The US State Department condemned the manuals' publication as "a criminal act."

Kernell was the son of longtime state representative Mike Kernell, a Memphis Democrat.

At least he did _some_ time for his crime.

Hillary has sat at bars but never behind any.

David Kernell ... has died from complications of multiple sclerosis.

Dead of MS at age 30, he suffered more than I could wish on anyone for guessing his way into an e-mail account and leaking messages. He served his time in a federal prison and then suffered through a miserable disease the rest of his life. His debt is paid, may he rest in peace.

>>>I wouldn’t wish MS on anybody<<<

Yes, but Liberals would wish it on every Irredeemable Deplorable in existence.

It’s the difference between “us” and “them”.

This makes zero sense. MS is almost never fatal. He died within four years of diagnosis and that is not a typical pattern of MS

Perhaps there is more to this than the family wishes to disclose

Bingo.

"This makes zero sense. MS is almost never fatal. He died within four years of diagnosis and that is not a typical pattern of MS

I always smelled Karl Rove and the lame duck Bush White House for the hacking of Palin, amoung all the other campaign sabatoge of her.

After all Nicolle Wallace AND Steve Schmidt worked for Rove/Bush BEFORE McCain brought them on the 08 campaign.

Sounds like Uniparty/RINO human sacrifice. That kid knew too much. Rove and Schmidt compromised Sarah's emails and needed a patsy.
