Alleged Palin Hacker's Facebook Pages

A self-labeled "Obamacrat." Terry Frank has screen-shots of his Facebook page.

The Jawa Report gets a mention in this Tennessee report (although I'd contend that the report characterizes us (Rusty) as being somewhat skeptical), which contains two interesting bits of information. The first is a quote from Mike Kernell (D), the Memphis Democrat, about whether or not his son has been contacted by authorities in regards to the investigation. Note the lawyer-ness:

"The longtime legislator would not say whether rubico10@yahoo.com is his son's e-mail address.

"I can't comment on my son," he repeated.

Asked if he has been contacted by investigators, Kernell responded: "Me, no."

"I can't say about my son," he added. "That doesn't mean he has or hasn't been contacted."

That's a non-denial denial by his father on whether or not Kernell had been contacted by authorities, although it was probably reported last night before the "flat-out" denial we saw in the Washington Times today. Sounds an awful lot like there is an investigation going on that he's aware of, because refusals, accusations and threats of lawsuit would be flying from this Democrat's mouth if he were certain didn't actually happen.

Another interesting bit of information - which if it turns out NOT to be this kid would make this the biggest, most insane coincidence in the history of coincidences - from the site's reporting:

David Kernell excelled at chess while at Germantown High School and won the 2004 Tennessee Open Scholastic Chess Championship. Internet searches show someone uses the handle rubico on chess Web sites. In addition, an inactive blog, with one post dated May 2004, included rubico as a username. Its author identified himself as a chess player from Memphis named David
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
