Sarah Palin - Sekurity Eggspurt


As you may have heard by now, Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin's personal e-mail account on Yahoo was recently hacked. You can google for details if you're interested.
Her account wasn't hacked from some evil liberal Yahoo insider, nor was there a Yahoo bug to exploit; Sarah wasn't kidnapped and forced to reveal her personal secrets while being water boarded. No, instead she used password reminder questions for which the answers were readily available on her Wikipedia page. In other words, user error. An inability to follow infant-simple security policies.

Does it bother you that the woman who may soon be a heart beat away from managing the national security interests of the most powerful country on earth can't even manage her Yahoo password?
