Tenn Democrat's Son Hacked Into Palin Emails?

As the federal investigation continues into the hacking of GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin's email, sources on the Internet and in some news outlets are reporting that the son of Tennessee State Representative Mike Kernell, D-Memphis, is being questioned in connection with the crime.

Kernell's 20-year-old son David is a student at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

The Memphis Democrat stated that he was aware of the rumors that his son was involved in the hacking attack but that he would not comment on the matter, citing the father-son relationship.

Both the FBI and the Secret Service are investigating the felony.

The hacker apparently gained access into Palin's private email accounts by impersonating her by phone in order to obtain a new password for Palin's account.

A person using the email address rubico10@yahoo.com claims to be the hacker.
