Sarah Palin

This is a little disappointing. Not that he got caught - that he looks like a normal kid. We were expecting more along the lines of The Simpsons' Comic Book Guy.

Instead, University of Tennessee student David Kernell, 20, is the apparently the genius who "hacked" (i.e. guessed the password and/or the answers to the security questions) Sarah Palin's Yahoo! email account. See photo below.

The FBI stormed his apartment last week, in the process breaking up a party Kernell was having. Frickin' cops. Don't you hate when that happens in college?

Oh, and get this - the dude's father is actually a Democratic Tennessee State Representative named Mike Kernell. This should help his re-election efforts.

In any case, David Kernell has already retained legal representation and, at least as of this posting, he has not been indicted by a grand jury in Chattanooga.

We recommend the Alaska Governor pick tougher questions next time. Something like... Q: Who am I going to strangle with my bare hands? A: Levi Johnston.

No, not personally - but Lynne Spears is miffed that people vilified pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears, then praised the knocked up Bristol Palin.

This wasn't just the hypocritical reaction of idiots like Bill O'Reilly, either. Most of the general public had a "totally different reaction" to the teen pregnancies of Jamie Lynn and Bristol, Lynne said in an interview with Newsweek.

"It's as if [Sarah Palin] became celebrated," Lynne said.

"I mean, the mother was celebrated for this... Every woman in the world applauded her strength and convictions and poor Jamie Lynn, you saw how she was crucified - everybody did, firsthand. I just feel like it's been a very hypocritical situation."

We'd have to agree.

In December, Jamie Lynn Spears, then 16, announced her pregnancy. She got engaged to Casey Aldridge and gave birth to daughter Maddie Briann in June at age 17.

In August, Sarah Palin, the Alaska Governor and Republican V.P. candidate, revealed that her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol Palin, is expecting and engaged to Levi Johnston.

"Do I promote teen sex? Of course not," Lynne said. "Do I promote teen pregnancy? Of course not. But when it happens, you deal with it and you do the best you can do."

Just kidding about the sexism part. But you believed it, right?

Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin's personal email was hacked recently the John McCain campaign is seriously pissed.

Palin’s Yahoo! Mail was plundered late Tuesday night. Her personal emails, addresses, family photos and phone numbers were soon published on the Internets.

Taking a break from picking fights over more important issues such as Lindsay Lohan, John McCain's campaign chief fired off the following threat reply:

“This incident represents a shocking invasion of the governor’s privacy and a violation of law. The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities. We hope that anyone in possession of these e-mails will destroy them.”

Ooh. That'll work. The hacker community always heeds to "authority.”

Sarah Palin might want to think up a new password.

Aside from the obvious humor in this - what was her password, Trig? - Sarah Palin's use of a Yahoo! account for state business does raise issues.

The Anchorage Daily News even wrote two days ago:

"Even before the McCain campaign plucked Palin from Alaska, a controversy was brewing over e-mails in the governor’s office. Was the administration trying to get around the public records law through broad exemptions or private e-mail accounts?"

One other side note: Sarah's husband, snowmobile racer Todd Palin, uses the screen name FeK9Wnr – short for Iron Dog Winner. Get it?

It's safe to assume Lindsay Lohan and Pink were big fans of Tina Fey's Sarah Palin impression. Who wouldn't be?

But count these two celebrities as the latest stars to come out against the Republican nominee for Vice President. Lohan, sounding more grounded by the day, said about Palin:

"I feel it's necessary for me to clarify that I am not against Sarah Palin as a mother or woman.... I would have liked to have remained impartial, however I am afraid that the 'lipstick on a pig' comments will overshadow the issues and the fact that I believe Barack Obama is the best choice, in this election, for president..."

Lohan, who is in a same-sex relationship with Samantha Ronson, went on to question Palin's views on homosexuality:

"Is it a sin to be gay? Should it be a sin to be straight? Or to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even to have a child out of wedlock? Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?"

Pink, meanwhile, was more biting and direct in her Sarah Palin commentary:

"She is not the woman that's going to come behind Hillary Clinton and do anything that Hillary Clinton would've been capable of … I can't imagine overturning Roe vs. Wade. She's not of this time. The woman terrifies me."

Do celebrities' voices carry more weight than the average citizen? Of course not. But it's nice to hear that this election has inspired so many to take a look at the issues involved.

We'd love to hear from readers on this topic. Who are you supporting and why?

Given that Tina Fey and Sarah Palin are already noted look-alikes, it was only a matter of time until the Saturday Night Live alumna parodied the Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential candidate on the late night comedy show.

Not only is Fey a dead-ringer for Sarah Palin, but her accent was downright hilarious in last night's "non-partisan" sketch skewering the 2008 presidential election.

Amy Poehler, while bearing no physical resemblance to Hillary Clinton, is nonetheless funny as the former First Lady in this faux, joint press conference ...

"I believe global warming is just God hugging us a little closer!"

Todd Palin, husband of GOP vice-presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is to be subpoenaed in the state investigation into whether his wife possibly abused the power in having her former brother-in-law fired.

Nicknamed the First Dude by his spouse's constituents, Todd Palin was one of 13 people who will be called to testify in the probe, according to a 3-2 decision by the Alaska State Judiciary Committee, according to reports.

Known as "Troopergate," the investigation got underway before Sarah Palin entered the national spotlight as John McCain's running mate.

Supporters and an attorney for Sarah Palin have called the probe politically motivated and have pushed for the matter to be handled by the three-member State Personnel Board, which is appointed by the Alaska Governor.

Does an impression of Sarah Palin, that is.

On a Thursday that has already seen Pamela Anderson tell the Republican V.P. candidate, on the record, that she can suck it, one-time actress Gina Gershon has spoofed Palin on the surprisingly unfunny website Funny or Die. See below ...

We think we might choose Die. But we do enjoy two things:

1. That Gina spoofed the hilarious (and very patriotic) gun-toting Sarah Palin bikini photo, which is a spoof in and of itself.
2. That we have a chance to mention Gina Gershon again in a political context - remember her alleged affair with Bill Clinton? Funny stuff.

I can't stand her. She can suck it.

Pamela Anderson isn't exactly as thoughtful or well-spoken as Matt Damon when it comes to her disdain for Sarah Palin.

But the former Baywatch star is a lot more direct.

As the video below and the quote above prove, Anderson doesn't think Palin is the ideal choice for Vice President:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3vEfvpHDd8&eurl=http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/videos/palin-can-suck-it/[/youtube]

Can Palin suck it? We're not about to go there.

But anyone that has seen Pamela Anderson nude on tape with Tommy Lee and/or Bret Michaels certainly knows this busty blonde can perform that act.

The race for the White House is heating (and all tied) up as millions of Americans have become enthralled with the rock star that is Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Matt Damon? Not among them!

You could say the Good Will Hunting actor is the anti-Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Here's what Damon had to say to the AP about the Republican V.P. nominee ...

JUST KIDDING! We couldn't resist busting out this hilarious, fully loaded (and photoshopped!) bikini picture of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin a second time.

A classic. But we were in fact serious about the Republican V.P. candidate packing heat on the cover of Newsweek. Follow the jump to see the real deal ...
