 Apparently scandalous goofball photo revealed on Palin’s website. |
Today @ PC World The Sarah Palin Files: FBI and Secret Service Launch an Investigation — Did anyone actually think this was NOT going to happen? Let’s see how “Anonymous” these Anonymous folks really are. I’m certain that the Church of Scientology will be interested in the results of this investigation.
Initial reports of Palin’s Yahoo account hack were unverified until Rick Davis, campaign manager for John McCain, released a statement Wednesday calling the hack a “shocking invasion of the governor’s privacy and a violation of law.”
Today come reports that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Secret Service have launched an investigation into Palin’s hacked account. CNN is reporting FBI Spokesman Eric Gonzalez confirmed an investigation is underway.
According to the CNN report Gonzalez stated: “We are aware of the allegations and we are coordinating with Secret Service as far as the allegation that someone has hacked into Governor Palin’s personal e-mail account… We are going to be working a joint investigation with Secret Service on this.”
My thoughts: The Anonymous club didn’t really hack anything. They found the email address then guessed the password. They got in, grabbed a few screen shots, got nervous and left fast. Otherwise we’d have more than a couple of photos. Going public with this as if they accomplished something bold was the mistake. Instead of what happened they should have monitored the site for some signs of impropriety and then gone public if something substantial was found. Under those circumstances it would be harder to prosecute these guys. Now it’s become a challenge for the FBI and others to find these folks or lose credibility. So every resource will be thrown at this. Bye bye.
Shhh, must you bring up inconvenient truths.
>> Mr. Fusion said,
>> Are those still claiming Obama is a Muslim either McCain supporters or in any way related to the McCain campaign? I suggest you be very careful how you answer that one.
I suspect they are the same slimy scoundrels who spread the ugly rumor in 2000 that McCain fathered a black bastard baby.
But, we won’t know until a year or two and, by then, the Republicans will have willfully chosen to forget about their ugly, shameless campaign techniques.
Look, all I wanted was a private email thingie so I could talk to my people privately. Also to have a way to chat with them about governor stuff without having some load of crap legal requirement to keep my emails. Also to have a way to privately keep them in the same talking points without having it show up in the public record. Also to send them pictures around.

>> Come on everybody! The baby is cute isn’t he? I feel so sorry for that little fella being a pawn and all.
A agree. It was disgusting at the GOP convention, the way the Palin family passed the baby around on stage like a prop.
But, sadly, abusing children for political gain is not new:
“Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.”
– Sen. John McCain, speaking to a Republican dinner, June 1998.

““Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.””
Yeah that was disgusting. But this baby really is adorable!
FBI and Secret Service? Sheesh all Republicans know that the Clintons own them.
“…he is probably laughing because Palin is still a dog with lipstick.”
No no no no. S.Palin is the lipstick on the cardboard of the McCain’s frozen pork dinner, you pinko commie dupe of the fascist imperialist lackeys.
The leak of the photo is clearly a right-wing plot to convince us that, in the words of the more famous Palin, “every sperm is sacred”. Several posters here have fallen for that already.
Grin.
#35 Greg and Co. – The Chelsea joke was funny.
#36, “J”,
But I’m curious why Bristol is the one always holding Trigg. She also holds him almost as if she were the mother. Why wouldn’t the father hold the baby if the mother is busy?
It’s going to be great when we see these guys do the perp walk into Federal prison.
#28 Mr. Fussy – Agreed.

“#35 Greg and Co. – The Chelsea joke was funny.”
No it wasn’t. It was rude and unprofessional. Imagine if he said that about a foreign dignitary and it got back to them. Is that what you want in a President?
# 40 Mr. Fusion
Yeah my wife and I noticed that too.
# 39 The Monster’s Lawyer
Oh also….It takes a REAL MAN to pick on a little girl huh?

Karl Rove will never go to prison.
John is right…everything will be thrown into this…I thought Anonymous was smarter.
so when the gov’t does this to me, can i expect the FBI to go after then with the same vivacity?
But dumb move announcing what you did. Hopefully you did it from a library / school and now your home computer.
Someone leaks the name of an American agent and a couple of wrists get slapped. (Valerie Plame’s revealer should be executed for treason.)
But hack the email of a MILF VP candidate and spend the rest of your freaking life playing french maid to bubba, and your children’s lives, ad nauseum.
Let me guess, was the password VPILF?
ok, let’s all call the FBI and Secret Service and complain our email was hacked/cracked and see how much of an investigation we get.
I’m getting tired of this idea than politicians deserve special treatment.

Mr. ConFusion
How insightful of you to notice this!
How unusual for a big sister to enjoy holding her baby sibling! There must be some sinister plot afoot here! (If not maybe you can make one up.)
Get real.
#47 “But hack the email of a MILF VP candidate and spend the rest of your freaking life playing french maid to bubba, and your children’s lives, ad nauseum.”
You just now figuring out how the world works?

#43 “No it wasn’t. It was rude and unprofessional.”
Sometimes, it is more important to be truthful than worrying about ruffling a few feathers.

Picking on a child?????? Your a dick!!! Since when have Republicans ever cared about truth?
#54 “Picking on a child?????? ”
And sometimes, it is more important to see a lib’s pulse rate jump to 250… 😉
> Sorry, I forgot we have a double standard when it comes to Republicans and Democrats. Karl Rove will never go to prison.<
True, he will get immunity for selling out Bush & Cheney.
I think it is rather outrageous that the girl in the picture is making funny faces of the down’s syndrome kid. Not very respectful to be so mocking of his different abilities.
#43 J – The joke was funny but the deliverer is fcked up. I think if a real comedian told it in a routine it would work.
# 57 bobbo
Well bobbo we can’t be sure that is what she is doing. I really doubt it is. I think it is kids being kids. I don’t think she was making fun of her little brother. If that is her little brother. lol

“The joke was funny but the deliverer is fcked up. I think if a real comedian told it in a routine it would work.”
Well, I understand what you mean but still she was a little girl at the time and that is cruel. Now, she is an adult and has directly participated in her moms campaign so, NOW I think she is fair game. But as a little kid? No. That isn’t funny it is just cruel.
#59 J – agreed.
I believe Bobbo was being sarcastic.
#60–ML==How could I be sarcastic when just last week several days were taken up with the Spainish Soccer League going all slant-eyed before going to China? Slant-eyed for the Chinese, Cross-eyed for the retarded kid. It all fits. I’m sure a body language expert/Freudian psychologist would agree with me. Its that nasty little truth at the core of much “humor.”
Like most news items, doesn’t mean much even if it is true, or false.
