"Anonymous" Hacks Palin's Private Email

netbuzz writes "'Anonymous,' best known for its jousts with Scientology, has apparently hacked Sarah Palin's private Yahoo email account. Contents, including sample emails, an index, and family photos, have been posted by Wikileaks, which calls them evidence that the GOP vice presidential candidate has improperly used private email to shield government business from public scrutiny." Note that there is no easy way to tell if the material on Wikileaks is genuine or a hoax. Update by J : Genuine.

woops sorry.



And a lot of the e-mails are somebody asking Palin if you can get a subpoena for messages used in a private e-mail or on a BlackBerry.

And one of the e-mails had a picture of Bristol making "a retard face" holding Trig. Personally, I think it's hilarious, because I'm an asshole, but I guess it bothers some people.



My friend told me about this early.  Pretty sad, but pretty funny too.  Go, go 4chan.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Well, is that a retard face or her just making a silly face for the camera. I don't think you can really make a judgment on that.

Anyways, this is wrong, but what do you expect from 4chan?

I don't necessarily think Bristol is making a retard face, but she chooses her expressions very carefully, and she shouldn't have done it.



I don't see anything wrong the the pic. It's just a silly pic that regular people would do, too. Certainly, some parts of her are regular...



I was joking. McCain said Obama didn't call Palin a pig, but he chooses his words carefully and shouldn't have used the expression (which he has used before about Hillary, who is also a woman.)

I totally think that crossing your eyes is a "tardface" but I don't think the picture is an issue. At all.

I think the picture is hilarious and cute.

And I think Anonymous is... hilarious and cute.



I think Anon will release more and more in a spread over a week to perhaps... months. It will only get better, hopefully.



that's just crasy, mang.

iono, if they hacked into my email, they'd probably find a bunch of "would you like a larger penis" junk emails. I think its a small non-issue, and its a huge invasion on someone's privacy.

If it indeed is against the law, then let it be known that she had a private email account. But to post the contents is a violation of privacy. I do not wish that upon any citizen.

I do not approve.
