Sarah PALIN Compares Hacking Of HER Email To WATERGATE

[Segami]

Who Let the Dog out, Hoo Hoo Hoo




" If Godwin's Law states that whoever first raises a comparison to Nazis in an online argument automatically "loses," then there surely ought to be a similar rule for comparisons to Watergate. And if there was one, Sarah Palin would have just lost.


Palin was elated on Friday when the college student who hacked into her personal email account during the 2008 presidential campaign was convicted on two out of four charges resulting from the incident.


David Kernell, the son of a Tennessee state legislator, was found guilty of unauthorized access of a computer and obstruction of justice but not guilty of wire fraud. The judge declared a mistrial on a charge of identity theft, after the jury was unable to agree. No date was set for sentencing, but the obstruction of justice charge, which is a felony, could bring a jail term of up to 20 years.


"My family and I are thankful that the jury thoroughly and carefully weighed the evidence and issued a just verdict," Palin wrote on her Facebook page. "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."


Blogger Juli Weiner at Vanity Fair was quick to mock Palin's reaction in a post titled "Palin 'Hacker' Convicted of Computer Fraud, Which Palin Says Is Totally Like Watergate."

6. narcisim + lack of comprehension (about Watergate).

= demonstrating ignorance.

College student acting illegally (but appears to be in a prankster way - still illegal and egregious) vs. National campaign committing a crime in order to get info to try to attempt to alter results (manipulate the voters' will) in the primaries of the opposing party.

Clearly comparable :sarcasm:
