NASHVILLE – The son of state Rep. Mike Kernell has been contacted by authorities in connection with a probe into the hacking of personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Kernell told The Tennessean.

Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, said his 20-year-old son David had been contacted by authorities investigating the hacking of Palin’s personal e-mail account, the newspaper reported on its Web site this afternoon.

The FBI and the Secret Service started a formal investigation Wednesday into the hacking, according to the Associated Press.

David Kernell is a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.

Libs are claiming it isn’t hacking since the ‘hacker’ guessed the password. UH HUH.

So if I guess a combination lock, I am not breaking and entering?

Let this punk be an Obama volunteer. Please.

I contacted the News Sentinel as soon as the first thread on this came up on FR, about 1 p.m. or so, and I see it was posted on their website at 4:53.

So, the hacker is a UT student.

I have to run to Mom’s, am staying the night, so won’t be online till tomorrow (can’t get a wireless connection there dangit!!!!)

Can’t wait to see the local news at 6, and 11 p.m.

Wish I could read all your comments on this tonight.

Prison will help him experiment more. “Soap please”

It was very obvious when he posted that confession he wasn’t a 4Chaner (and they aren’t ashamed of anything Anon does).. they immediately called him out as a newf//g.

Suuuuure. Get real. Who can guess a password? LOL He was still accessing an account that wasn't his and spreading her personal information around. Whatever, the account was hacked.

Investigate and, if warranted, prosecute to the fullest extent. If guilty, maximum sentence.

They’re also saying since she was dumb enough to have a yahoo account, she deserved to be hacked. That line of reasoning is like the, ‘she was drunk so she deserved to be raped’ crap.

[stockpirate]

My gut goes more along this path, that his dad used his son’s email account so it can’t be traced back to him!

[rintense]

Well, it is pretty easy on yahoo. You just say you’re the person and they ask you personal questions like birtdate, etc. If you know enough about someone, its pretty easy to get the password changed.

[snarkytart]

“They” are lefty loons and don’t understand how horrible this makes them look. Yes, it does reflect bad on Obama too.

[Bosco]

my, my, my, what have we here.

I have a variation that I like to use...

Well, well, well... what do we have here?

[gov_bean_ counter]

If that is the case then Jr. will have to just take one for the team...

Then another, then another, then another...

[Pharmboy]

Daddy Mike is on the right...

[Lucky2]

This little twit needs to be punished to the full extent of the law. If one of ours had hacked them...we’d be swinging by now.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Is that is hair or did a large rodent climb on his head and die?

[~Vor~]

Did I do that???...

"What do you mean STOLE the car? Hey....they left the door unlocked!"

As the saying goes...."Tell it to the judge".
