WASHINGTON - Hackers broke into the Yahoo! e-mail account that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin used while governor of Alaska.

First her social security number was released, now this; when will these invasions of privacy end?

"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," said the John McCain campaign team.

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.

[Update] Well, well, well.  FBI agents served a federal search warrant to 20-year-old University of Tennessee student David Kernell early Sunday morning in their investigation into the hacking of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin's e-mail last week.

It gets better.

The so-called "hacker" is a Tennessee Democratic Congressman's son ( State Rep. Mike Kernell ) and sources say that he has a connection to Barack Obama's campaign manager!

Danny Diaz, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, said: "The fact that a Democratic activist - and possibly an Obama supporter - could go to these lengths is deeply disturbing and criminal."

 First, Democrat operatives release Sarah Palin's social security number, then they hack Sarah Palin's email account; what happened to vocal concerns over privacy?

We heard a lot of whining about the Patriot Act, insofar as some Americans were concerned that their library cards *gasp* could be monitored, but we continually see privacy violations and illegal activity being committed by these same groups who expressed concerns over privacy?!?

Double standards? Hypocrites?  You made the call.
