Palin's personal e-mail account hacked

If the hilarioussss impersonation of Governor Sarah Palin by Tina Fey on SNL (watch it below before it gets deleted) wasn't enough, it seems someone claiming to be a member of the group known as Anonymous (I covered them before, remember?) hacked into Palin's personal e-mail address hosted by Yahoo, sometime around midnight Tuesday according to WikiLeaks (covered them earlier too!) in a press release regarding the matter. WikiLeaks is of course where the screenshots of Palin's e-mail inbox were hosted. There's another spot here on Gawker where the screens are shown.

Sarah Palin has taken some heat before for possibly using private e-mail addresses to conduct government business, implying that she uses these private accounts to get around public records laws. The Bush administration has also been charged with doing this, by the way. Well apparently, these screencaps taken from her inbox gave an alarming amount of evidence to support this.. I'll link the full updated article from Wired News, they have everything in their report besides the actual shots. Interesting stuff.. also, the FBI says they are coordinating with the United States Secret Service over this matter. Anon is pretty awesome, ha.
