The Tennessean reports what blogs have been buzzing about all day:

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

Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, said his 20-year-old son David had been contacted by authorities investigating the hacking of Palin’s personal email account.

The FBI and the Secret Service started a formal investigation on Wednesday into the hacking.

David Kernell is a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Mike Kernell said he spoke to his son on Thursday, as he does on a regular basis.

Kernell otherwise declined to comment, or discuss his son’s whereabouts and whether he was in custody.

As we so often hear in NC from the liberal parents of crooks, drug dealers and murderers, “but he is a good boy”

I must admit a smile comes across my face when i think of this liberal puke surrounded by Secret service agents and being given the choice of 20 years in Federal pound me in the ___prison or rolling over on the Obama campaign manager that put him up to this.

Now Kernell can blame his kid’s ruined life (Whether there are any actual consequences or not)and future failures on the Bush administration and the McCain campaign.

Awesome. I can imagine that conversation between father and son.

"OK, which one of us is going away for a long time?"

Good thing the SS is handling this and not the FBI. SS does not play.

Now we know why the Liberals get so up in arms over defining “domestic terrorists”.

Sending this guy to Gitmo would certainly put a damper on their future campaign activities.

Naturally he will be portrayed as a troubled young man (apparently he posted something about that once upon a time) whose zealousness got the best of him. I'm not sure this story is going to go anywhere, though one could surmise that daddy knew about it and perhaps encouraged it.

It'll be interesting to see how many lefties now claim that the sins of children of politicians shouldn't be hung around the necks of their parents.

lol. i'm just excited to be online after 4 days in the dark. i gave away all of the food from my freezers two days ago, am living off of canned goods, and finally, power was returned c. 2 hours ago. i'm a little giddy right now.

also, a 20 foot section of a tree (c. 14" in diameter) fell right on top of me on sunday. i thank God that i am alive. forgive me for being excited. i cannot imagine what people in texas are going through!

Just one of the reasons I am disappointed with G.W. Bush as president.

“The father has a blog named “Left Wing Cracker.”

Another self-loathing Caucasian.”

If you are not black, and want to be in politics, and live in Memphis, you have no choice.

The CTunnel guy specifically keeps 7 day rolling logs because of hackers. The point of ctunnel is to allow people to get past their employer’s IT department rules. The irony is that a lot of that traffic probably goes to hotmail and yahoo mail. But he emphatically said in an interview that it is against his terms of service and would be happy to hand over the records once the feds come knocking.

Just remember, it’s still Bush’s fault, even if it was Obama’s campaign manager orchestrating and executing.

I know what you are going through. I experienced the same thing about 3 years ago after a hurricane hit Florida. I was without power for 10 days & incommunicado with the outside world. Welcome back!

Obama will say “he’s not head of my Tennessee campaign that I used to know.”
