Sarah Palin Goes To Knoxville Court To Continue Destroying 22-Year-Old Who Found Her Yahoo! Password Two Years Ago
Sarah Palin is now using her vast political knowledge and expertise as one of America's greatest leaders to help brutally prosecute a dumb college student who figured out her incredibly easy e-mail password hint two years ago and uploaded a few screen shots to some web forum leading to a day or two of pranks which meant nothing in the end and probably just boosted her career through faux-victimization, the only weapon in her arsenal; she is awful.
Sarah Palin testified Friday against a 22-year-old man accused of hacking into her e-mail account, saying later it's up to the judge to decide whether he should serve prison time if convicted.
Palin testified that the hacking compromised one of the main ways she communicated with her family back in Alaska as she campaigned in 2008 as the Republican vice presidential candidate. Outside the courthouse, when asked whether she thought community service was punishment enough rather than prison, she said, "That's up to the judge."
Former University of Tennessee student David Kernell faces up to 50 years in federal prison if convicted of identity theft, mail fraud and two other felony charges. His lawyer has called the case a prank, not a crime.
Asked outside court if she thought the charges against Kernell were excessive, Palin said, "I don't know, but I do think there should be consequences for bad behavior."
COMMUNITY SERVICE SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT. In fact an out-of-court settlement of "a few bucks for Willow's gas money" would be harsh enough. Especially since it was not "hacking" or "mail fraud." There were no Soviets named "Boris" cracking nuclear launch codes. (Maybe.)
This is really breathtaking in its callousness:
Palin's husband, Todd, listened as she testified. Their daughter Bristol testified earlier this week that she got harassing calls and text messages after screen shots of e-mail from the account revealed her cell phone number.
A former Palin aide also described receiving vulgar e-mails.
Kernell isn't accused of the harassment.But prosecutors say he improperly gained access to Palin's e-mail account in September 2008 by correctly providing her birth date and ZIP code and correctly answering that Wasilla is where she met her husband.
You'd think she'd just be embarrassed. Most humans would!
Indeed, this dumb college student will probably go to jail for 50 years for easily guessing her e-mail password hint using the rare knowledge he acquired reading the first sentence or two of her Wikipedia page. The judge will want to impress her for a lipstick-smooched autographed photo.
