This one just landed in my inbox: 

ARLINGTON, VA -- Today, McCain-Palin 2008 Campaign Manager Rick Davis issued the following statement concerning reports about Governor Palin's email and an invasion of privacy:

"This is a shocking invasion of the Governor's privacy and a violation of law. The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these emails will destroy them. We will have no further comment."

I think that someone who stoops this low should be hung out and dried. This is her private account and these scoundrels should punished but I wonder who will be behind it when they are caught. It seems the desperate democrat supporters are very happy about this but remember what comes around will go around one day. AK also has a 5 year jail punishment for this. What I want to know is why hasn't the webs been taken down. It seems there has been enough time to get this done since it's making the news everywhere.

also see http://gawker.com/5051193/sarah-palins-personal-email-account-hacked

(gives more "technical" detail [as in screenshots of inbox, photos, etc.])

I don't think anyone has mentioned that this demonstrated that was "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)."

Hmmm ... conducting goverment business on a personal account instead of the goverment account in order to prevent retention of records ... does this sound familar to anyone??

Yep ... More of the same ... No change ...

"You know they probably will never catch the people responsible, but you can believe the bush administration will be doing everything they can to catch them."

which i assume since you are always so, umm, objective, you would agree is a good thing...right? surely that line wasnt just being used as a pejorative remark designed to show how bush has "torn up the constitution"....was it?

As much as I don't like palin and think she is a joke, this has gone way too far. I would hate to see a world were every election candidates personal email accounts were getting hacked and leaked to the public.

You know they probably will never catch the people responsible, but you can believe the bush administration will be doing everything they can to catch them.

The account may have been used for personal use, but the email address itself is (or was):

gov.palin@yahoo.com

It reads to me like it was a government address. If she wanted it to be personal she should have thought about not using governor in the addy. The hackers are going through the account and will release anything that is worthy. Look for an October surprise. lol

laura and flashlight - You're right. My bad.

JUSTWONDERING2 WRITES: "I would bet there is some international mailing going on with bama boy. No wait, caves don't have internet access. Or do they?"

DING! DING! DING! We have a winner! For the most ignorant statement uttered on GOLO goes to justwondering2

See http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-politics/20080917/Palin.Hacked/

"Hacker's broke into the Yahoo! e-mail account that...Palin used for official business as Alaska's governor."

Huh? Surely the cost-cutting measures wouldn't have gone so far as to use Yahoo! for government business, would they?

Good questions - what ARE they referring to? This press release seems seems preemptive. The story on Palin's dual Blackberries is old news, (using a personal Yahoo account for some state business) but this sounds like the campaign fears a release of those private emails. Has there been a leak? Email is no more secure than a postcard, unless your traffic is encrypted.

Oldschool, you may want to look up the word "or."
