How Are Sarah Palin and Jerry Yang Connected?
September 18, 2008
If you answered with “they both shopped at the same place for their frames,” your guess is as good as anyone’s. This morning Yang’s Yahoo! company was in the presidential campaign spotlight. It was reported that Sarah Palin’s Yahoo! email account was recently broken into by a hacker from Tennessee.
The hacker apparently reset Palin’s password, using information about her that could easily be found online, such as: Palin’s place of birth, birth date, home zip code, and high school she attended. Using this information the hacker was able to impersonate Palin through Yahoo!’s ID verification and then assigned a new password - “popcorn.”
The FBI and Secret Service intervened in an investigation Wednesday. Yahoo! did not comment today on details of the investigation, citing Palin’s privacy and the sensitivity of such investigations.
The hacker stated in an email that, despite his hopes, he could not find anything controversial, according to a report by the Associated Press. The hacker has yet to be identified.
Associated Press writer Ted Bridis contributed to this story.

Got something to say?
Hysterical.
As in commedia dell’arte.
The “hacker” had to be pro in order to “hack.”
But his conclusion there was nothing “controversial” is strictly amateur.
As in the controversies right out there in the open.
So, is this one more Rovian ploy, swiftboater scam in reverse?
Besides, she’s losing her headline clout, what with the economy tanking and Wall Street dogs racing for the exits.
And we’re still in the first lap of this relay.

Why any Asian American would even CONSIDER voting for this RACIST is completely beyond me. Spread the word, our people need to know about this man.
