Contemptible Quitter PALIN attempts to hang Watergate on (whomever--besides Rethugs).

O.K., so we all knew that her debut, convention speech was written by others, but apparently she was right to chafe under the restrictions put on her by hidebound professional pols because, if she herself is coming up with all the sleazy CRAP that she vomits, she truly has her own talent groove.

Palin Hacker Convicted, She Compares Case to Watergate

A Tennessee jury convicted David Kernell, 20, the kid who hacked into Sarah Palin's email account in 2008, of computer fraud and obstruction of justice. Palin, modest and magnanimous as ever, compared the case to Watergate in a Facebook message.

Kernell, according to Fox News (this thread/link is from Gawker), escaped two other convictions — he was found not guilty of wire fraud and the jury deadlocked on an identity theft charge. The onetime University of Tennessee student, faces up to 21 years in jail for the offences. Palin, who testified at the trial, just posted this wildly self-aggrandizing message on her Facebook page:

****"My family and I are thankful that the jury thoroughly and carefully weighed the evidence and issued a just verdict. Besides the obvious invasion of privacy and security concerns surrounding this issue, many of us are concerned about the integrity of our country's political elections. America's elections depend upon fair competition. Violating the law, or simply invading someone's privacy for political gain, has long been repugnant to Americans' sense of fair play. As Watergate taught us, we rightfully reject illegally breaking into candidates' private communications for political intrigue in an attempt to derail an election."****
