Daddy Confirms? Not exactly!
State rep confirms that son is subject of Palin e-mail chatter
State Rep. Mike Kernell confirmed Thursday that his son, a University of Tennessee-Knoxville student, is at the center of heated Internet discussion into the hacking of the personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, confirmed that it is his 20-year-old son, David, who is being widely named on Internet blogs and chatrooms in connection with an unfolding story about Palin’s hacked e-mail accounts.
The FBI and the Secret Service started a formal investigation on Wednesday into the hacking.
David Kernell is a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Mike Kernell said he spoke to his son on Thursday, as he does on a regular basis.
Kernell otherwise declined to comment, or discuss his son’s whereabouts.
Now, what I’ve been reading on other sites, pops says he’s the guy that did the hacking. Well, what this article is telling me is that he only confirms that his son is being investigated and his name is being bandied about on the internet.
Until I hear otherwise, I’ll give the kid the benefit of the doubt. Yes, I can be fair…..sometimes.
