Slog - Comments on Does the Kid Have a Legal Defense Fund? http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/does_the_kid_have_a_legal_defense_fund So it looks like the feds found the kid that hacked into Sarah Palin's Yahoo account—Osama bin Laden, of course, is still at large—and it turns out the alleged hacker is a college student and the 20 year-old son of a Democratic state representative in Tennessee. This fact will be hashed over for umpteen hours on cable news. "Nosey college student or Democratic dirty trickster? Blah blah blah." The fact that this kid's alleged hacking proved that Sarah Palin was illegally conducting state business on her Yahoo account in order to skirt public record disclosure laws in Alaska?

He simply answered her security questions and yahoo let him change the e-mail address and then the password, there was no hacking of any sorts involved. This kid did what any 14 year old 4chan member would have done, guess correctly, not hack.

I bet he'd have better luck

The "kid" (age 20) also hacked emails from and to Palin's underage daughters.

She is a dangerous idiot.

Liberals pull tricks like this because they know loyal Americans will never vote for liberalism, a dying ideology if there ever was one, which is making liberals desperate, and desperate liberals are as dangerous as the islamo-nazi terrorists who want to destroy America.

Look for more cheating from liberals, especially on Election Day, just as they tried to cheat to get the Marxist weirdo Al Gore elected.

He's a 4chan anon. They're neither liberal or conservative. They're just mischief.

Without a face to hang their fears on, the simpletons among us would lose interest in the "War on Terror" and focus their limited attention on the Bushies' other disasters, perhaps at the expense of McCain votes. I don't expect ObL to ever be caught except by accident.

On the other hand, I expect this entrepreneurial 20-year-old's high-school yearbook picture to be all over FauxNews.

McDermott's phone-tape episode all over again. Rarely did the news stories on lawsuit mention the tape concerned an illegal collusion on the part of Republican Congressmen. But, IOKIYAR.

Cheap-ass bitch.

SKIRT public record disclosure laws? You damn dirty sexist. Everything you've ever said is now discredited and Sarah Palin is blameless, you sexist sexist you.

You can't use public resources for partisan purposes, so you have to use your private email for campaining.

Please don't get me wrong, I hope the "Palin-McCain ticket" crashes and burns, but we need to stay factual here.
