David Christopher Kernell walked into federal court this morning in handcuffs, shackles and tennis shoes to plead not guilty to hacking Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail account.

The University of Tennessee student, who is the son of state Rep. Mike Kernell, D-Memphis, turned himself in today after being indicted by a federal grand jury.
Throwing up screenshots of your deliberate intrusion into someone’s private affairs is just plain stupid. Doing this when you’re hacking the Vice Presidential candidate’s e-mail address is even more stupid. Trying to do any of this in the first place when your dad is a congressman for the opposing party and not expecting anyone to think he was involved just invites every insult in the book.
H/T: Michelle Malkin, who’s done a fabulous job covering Gov. Palin and who continues to rally the conservative troops in this election. Keep up the good work, Michelle!
