Governor Palin’s use of Yahoo email has been discussed in the press. It seems that hackers may have compromised the security of the Governor Palin’s Yahoo account:
“WASHINGTON — Hackers broke into the Yahoo! e-mail account that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin used for official business as Alaska’s governor, revealing as evidence a few inconsequential personal messages she has received since John McCain selected her as his running mate.”

The details of how Governor Palin’s account may have been compromised were not revealed. However, Yahoo now has the attention of the Secret Service.

I think the Socialists will stop at nothing to get Obama elected, but they are wasting their time!

This has nothing to do with who should be elected to the White House…but everything with being stupid. Anyone who uses a service like Yahoo or Gmail for “official” government business because your Attorney General said they can’t subpoena your “personal” account is an idiot. Not only that…she deserved to get hacked & impeached for stupidity.
Personally…I can’t stand either of the candidates. When we see this country having to resort to these bad choices…something is VERY wrong.

What I found interesting in this issue is that the content posted from Governor Palin’s account did nothing to prove that official communications were ever sent through the personal account — everything posted from her account was personal in nature. None of the items would have been appropriate to send through an official account, since they were all related to family matters and interpersonal communications.
So the criminal who illegally accessed the account illegally, illegally took possession of the data, and illegally distributed the illegally obtained data, has hung his butt out for all kinds of civil and legal retribution, with nothing to show for it.
Further proof that criminals are idiots.
