Did the internet just cause Sarah Palin to destroy evidence? The potential Veep is in a bit of trouble for conducting state business using her personal, unarchived email address (gov.sarah@yahoo.com) instead of her official account (which is, of course, subject to laws requiring the retention of government records). Emails from that Yahoo account are already being sought in connection with the Troopergate investigation. Now comes word that Anonymous, the fun-loving Internet trouble-makers based loosely around the message board 4Chan, gained access to another Palin email account: gov.palin@yahoo.com. It looks legit! The offending posts, screenshots, heretofore unseen family photos, and emails have all been deleted from Imageshack and 4Chan. But we have them. You want to read Sarah Palin's email?

Ok, sad thing first: a good Samaritan reset the password and tried to alert Sarah. But he also posted the new password, causing multiple people to try to log in at once, freezing the account for 24 hours. And now, the account has been deleted! Which is, as we said, maybe destruction of evidence? So for now this is, we think, all we'll get to see from this email account (if anyone finds evidence of saved emails, let us know.)

The full timeline of events, with corroborating evidence of the legitimacy of these screengrabs, is here. Here's why it all looks convincing:

The emails to Ivy Frye, a Palin aide who's mentioned in the earlier email stories specifically wondering how best to hide her correspondence with the governor.
The attached contact list (below) features an email address for husband Todd Palin that is legit. As well as an apparently genuine phone number for Bristol Palin and an address for Beth Leschper, Palin's deputy communications director.
The email from Amy McCorkell, a known associate of Palin's from Wasilla who might have the governor's personal email address.
Emails to and from Lt Governor Sean Parnell about a local radio talk host.
Calls to the phone number listed for Bristol Palin apparently go to her voicemail.
The public profile for the gov.palin address dates its last update to April of this year—well before she became McCain's running mate. So if it's a hoax, it's a hoax that began long before anyone outside of Alaska cared about Palin.
We haven't seen these family photos before. Have we?
The previously accessible public profiles for gov.sarah@yahoo and gov.palin@yahoo were both deleted at the same time.
Here are the screenshots of the emails saved before the account went dark, along with the contact list. It's newsworthy and we will not be taking it down!

It's like a train wreck. You know it's bad to be looking at the screenshots, but you can't help yourself.

here's a hypothetical: McCain/Palin get elected. They start an agenda. That agenda is to start pushing legislation to start heavily regulating the internet. And "God" would approve of this, because?

- child molesters in chat rooms
- children hanging themselves over myspace
- deviant crackers breaking into private email accounts
- pornography is widely available
- etc. etc.


It's all fun and games until hooligans take it too far, and the cost of the internet goes up for the rest of us.

I would think this community would be outraged about someone looking at someone elses personal emails...

It is an outrage. But a bigger outrage would be for the price of my service plan to go up because of some dumbass kids in cyberspace.

It certainly would have been preferable for the Alaska legislature and/or attorney general to have this information than gawker, but evidence of a crime need not be uncovered by the police...

Am I the only one amused by her password?

I thought you were against stuff like this? Oh wait...it's a conservative. Then wiretapping, hacking emails, filtering emails, and privacy invasion in general is cool...

I'm against THE GOVERNMENT hacking email accounts. Big difference.

I'm also against government officials using private email accounts to hide their wrong doing, like the Bush administration has been doing for the last 8 years.

But good try.

If LittleWing can't see the difference between this he's an idiot, if he can than he's an asshole. Take your pick.

i like the cut of your jib

whats a jib?

Pretty shakey, PD.

If a conservative group did this to Obama, holy fuck would the media and the left ever be screaming bloody murder. And rightfully so. They'd say it was a racially motivated attack. But they don't care when it happens to Palin, she's just an uppity bitch they hate.

I have to admit that's fucked up.

To be honest we don't know for sure who is responsible. If it was indeed someone from an Anonymous associated website, the claim that this is a leftist attack is completely false.

Oh, and about the bloody murder your looking for





edit: with better video

I can't open that while at work but it looks very Fox-ish.

Where's the great leader (Obama) standing up, announcing that this type of illegal invasion to personal privacy is not acceptable. That this kind of act has no place in a democracy. Or is this just another uppity white bitch he hates? Just one more thing that Hilary and Palin share. She's not like us, her rights don't count.

What the fuck are you talking about?

There's your media.



Perhaps he's minding his own business, or maybe he thinks people have enough intelligence to figure that out on their own. I know major oversight... our great leader, huh? I see what you did there.

Yeah Obama doesn't need to comment on this. He shouldn't. He will, but he shouldn't waste his time.
