Hackers break into Sarah Palin's email account.

Update: Gawker has the screenshots. Meh, I don't find these emails too saucily revealing, and I think what the hackers did was lame, but I did like someone's take along the lines of: "If she can't protect her emails, how can she protect national security secrets?"

From SignOnSanDiego:

Hackers broke into the Yahoo! e-mail account that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin used for official business as Alaska's governor, revealing as evidence a few inconsequential personal messages she has received since John McCain selected her as his running mate.

"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 e-mails will destroy them," the McCain campaign said in a statement.

The Secret Service contacted The Associated Press on Wednesday and asked for copies of the leaked e-mails, which circulated widely on the Internet. The AP did not comply.
