    What’s most interesting is that the “Felon” who was smart (or dumb) enough to hack Palin’s E-Mail was dumb enough to post his confession on line.  Seems the perpetrator’s E-Mail address belongs to David Kernell, 20, from Memphis, TN, a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and son of Democratic state representative Mike Kernell. “Young David” explains it this way in his on-line confession: “On Tuesday night, I broke into Sarah Palin's Yahoo! e-mail account, read the e-mails and posted the address and password to wreak general havoc with the account, using Yahoo!'s password recovery feature….  All I had to do was fill in the answers to some questions with information found in Wikipedia.   After the password recovery was re-enabled, it took seriously 45 mins on Wikipedia and Google to find the info….. and then I promptly changed the password to popcorn and took a cold shower...I suspect “young David” will be taking future “cold showers with a lot of his new buddies.”  Piece of advice, “young David” …. Try to avoid dropping the soap in the shower.  I just hope he’s in the slammer in time to be “Bubba’s date for the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance.”The upside for Democratic State Rep Dad, Mike Kernell, is think of the tuition money you’ll save!

    According to this recent release from CNN, David Kernell, the son of a member of the House of Representatives, Mike Kernell, allegedly reset the password and accessed the personal e-mail account of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. He also allegedly read the contents, took a screenshot of her directory, and got into her address book information. Her address book contained the contact information including cell phone numbers of family members as well as birthdates and other information. He also then allegedly posted all of this including the password on a public website. After turning himself in, he pled not guilty. Kernell faces up to 5 years in prison, 3 years of probation and supervision after release, and up to $250,000 in fines. Think about this: to pay that down, he would have to take almost 200 payday loans at the maximum allowed amount of $1,500.

Pat Dollard | Young Americans — Previous Post As IF we had no inkling … no clue where this search would lead.

Wonder if this kid used university computers or internet to do this hacking? Wonder if he is an Obama campaign worker locally? Wonder if he changed his middle name to Hussein? Sad thing is, as slow as the legal and court systems are, he probably won’t be convicted soon enough to be considered a “convicted felon” and NOT be allowed ...

Hacker Exposed. Guilty Party Remains Running For President
Confederate Yankee — Hacker Exposed. Guilty Party Remains Running For President David Kernell , a 20-year-old University of Tennessee-Knoxville student and son of Tennessee state representative (D-Memphis), has been contacted by the Secret Service and FBI as part of a formal investigation into the hacking of the private email account of Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. We're sure to learn more about the case as it develops, but as it does, I think I'll largely echo Vanderleun's advice to cut the kid a little slack.
