Is this for real?
This is a crazy story. Is this a hoax? I'm unclear as to whether charges were filed against the hapless deliveryman or not. Or where the camera came from. Wow, just wow!

knuckleheaded thing to do
I'm sorry, but what knucklehead of a public figure would have such an obvious email account as gov.palin@yahoo.com? You would have THOUGHT that someone on the McCain campaign would have made sure this was secured (or eliminated) was she was chosen as McCain's running mate? Duh! Apparently Sen. Obama's comment about Sen. McCain not being able to use a computer applies to his staff also.

TJX whistleblower fired
