WASHINGTON - Hackers broke into the Yahoo! e-mail account that Republican vice presidential
candidate Sarah Palin used for official business as Alaska's governor, revealing as evidence a few inconsequential personal messages she has received since John McCain selected her as his running mate. -- Associated Press

Hi Honey,
I know you're very busy today, but I just have an important question: do I put the clothes in first or the detergent first? And is it okay to use the Spray ’n Wash on your Victoria's Secret thong?
Love you more than ice-fishing,
Todd

Dear Governor Palin,
I know you've been brushing up on your foreign policy, but Senator McCain wanted me to give you a few pointers, so the media doesn’t trip you up.
1. Russia is currently at war with Georgia. Whenever you get an opportunity, please express your solidarity with Governor Sonny Purdue.
2. If someone asks you about your thoughts on Africa, just say "Mugabe" and shake your head.
3. Africa is not a country – it’s a continent. Africa consists of a number of countries, such as South Africa, North Africa and West Africa.
4. People in Iran are known as Iranians, but people in Iraq are not Iraqians. They are “civilian casualties.”
6. People in Thailand speak Thai, but people in Iceland do not speak Ice. They speak Icelandian.
7. The president of Iran is Ahmadinejad. The preferred pronunciation is A-MAD-INJURER.
8. Libya has had only three leaders over the past 40 years: Gaddafi, Khadhafi and Qadhafi. The current leader is Qadhafi. His successor is expected to be Cadarfi.
9. People from Europe are not called Euros. They are called Europeans, a Greek term that, literally translated, means “slave to the Euro.”
10. Israel is our best friend. Please don’t tell Britain.
Hope that helps.
Ross McSwain
