State Representative Mike Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, made a statement to the Tennessean in which he identified his son, David Kernell, as the hacker who broke in to vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palins email address and posted screenshots of the contents on the internet.
Mike Kernell represents District 93, which covers the University of Memphis, and parts of south-east Memphis. He told the Tennessean on Thursday that it was indeed his son David who, using the handle Rubico, posted the original screenshots of Governor Palins e-mail account after using Yahoos password recovery service and a bit of research to find out personal details about Palin and subsequently gain control of her password. The father refused to make any further comment, especially on the whereabouts of his son.
David Kernell, aged 20, is a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Using the handle Rubico, he made a post on the 4chan.org forums, in which he alleges that he is the one who is responsible for leaking Governor Palins e-mail inbox details online, and goes on to provide a believable account of how he did it.

I live in the L.A. area.
still waiting for the McCain/Palin bumper stickers here too, I think they get her at the first of next week.
At the very least, I hope that UT will expel the student for having violated their internal policies against perpetrating fraud using their network.
Oh c’mon. Where is your desire to live on the edge? /sarcasm
I live in a city that is 60/40 black to white. I’ve got a McCain/Palin yard sign and a sticker on my car. Of course I do check my car everyday in the parking garage to see if anything has happened to it.
You are right. And they should drum that father out of office. He has taught that stupid punk kid of his no values.
This young man has a great future in the Democrat Party. I see immediate employment as someone in charge of email server in the Obama White House.
Ot head of Obama White House ethics orifice.

I read on an earlier thread that he was already in custody. Wonder if that’s true???????
He has also embarassed the secret service.
The secret service is very proud of their ability to protect candidates. Not just their personal safety. There are many ways to harass, threaten, and intimidate a candidate, and the secret service tries to prevent them all.
It wouldn’t matter if this was a democratic candidate or a republican one. The secret service has been shown up by a 20 year old kid. They will make an example of him to ensure nobody (liberal or conservative) dares try this type of thing again.
Cowardly? LOL...ok. It’s cowardly to want to protect your family and property?
And how is putting 8 millions signs on a cul de sac going to sway anyone?
Run along.
Checkmate Rubico! Your Hack show has been cancelled.
I cannot wait until I finally get my McCain/Palin bumper stickers!! One is going right on my car, the others to people in my office.
My hubby is worried that I may find myself with a flat tire, broken-in car or being run off the street due to the craziness shown by Obama thugs.
But, I refuse to let fear hinder my right to publicly support my candidate! Besides, I have a plastic Saturn...
*bouncy* *boink* *bouncy*
Wouldn’t it be interesting if someone got this guys picture and photoshopped it on some guys body that is having sex with a barnyard animal posted it on YouTube, My Space and Facebook so he can see what it feels like to be violated by a faceless punk.
I would hesitate to blame the father for the crimes of the son, in ANY context. But the FBI should investigate this particular case very thoroughly in order to find out the facts - it stinks of a typical Dem dirty trick.
The Perp who hacked Palin e-mail account , David Kernell, and exposed her family to all kind of physical and mental harm. Hope they sue the pants off of you and your family.
