Sarah Palin’s Yahoo account hijacked Important Update








Well it finally happened Sarah Palin's private e-mail got hacked. Apparently she was trying to get around the law having to do with open records by using a private e-mail account to do just that. This morning when I got my e-mail I saw the article on ZDNet and copied webpages for everyone to see. I don't think any official government or otherwise should do such underhanded things such as this. I have posted the pictures for you to see to make your own decision on what you think of Sarah Palin.

The below update is taken from WikiLeaks.
One of the accounts of screenshots shows a short exchange in July between Gov. Palin and Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who is running against Democrat Ethan Berkowitz for the state's lone Congressional seat. In her reply, Palin called Anchorage-based conservative radio host Dan Fagan "inconsistent and purposefully misleading" in his comments about Parnell.
Another screenshot displays the text of a message to Palin from Amy McCorkell, who Palin appointed to the Governor's Advisory Board on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse in October 2007. According to a press release issued by Palin's office at the time, McCorkell, like Palin, lives in Wasilla, Alaska and is formerly a private legal investigator, an office worker and fitness instructor.
In the message dated Sunday, McCorkell said: "I am reading the paper and have thoughts and prayers going your way......don't let the negative press wear you down! Pray for me as well. I need strength to 1. keep employment, 2. not have to choose. Lately I just pray may God's will be done."
Later this afternoon as I watched CNN they were saying that they will probably start an investigation into the firing of the state trooper and also some of the mails archived that she has been sending via the Yahoo account. I would not be surprised that there are other government officials doing the same type of thing to get around the freedom of information act. It would be very interesting to find out how many others are doing this also.
It's been covered on the news but I don't know how many of them have shown the screenshots of the e-mails? I think the world should know, don't you? Of course when I find out more I will let you know. I have to give credit where credit is due, most of the screenshots were taken from WikiLeak.org.
