This is just sad.

<snip>
Bristol it seems, told the sad sad story of how she didn’t have a cell phone for weeks after her number was compromised via published email and her phone was confiscated by the authorities. It is really possible that nobody thought to get the pregnant 17-year old Bristol a new emergency phone to use in the interim, with her parents gone and no land line at the house?
When asked to testify about the text messages and voice messages left on he phone, she had this to say:
“There was one that really scared me,” Bristol Palin testified in federal court. She said she was concerned when a bunch of boys called, claiming they were at her front door and needed to be let in.
“We live in the middle of nowhere in Alaska … in the middle of the woods,” Palin said.
It is never OK, to hack into someone’s private emails, and it is never OK to make those public, and certainly nobody who engages in such behavior is to be defended. However…
“In the middle of nowhere in Alaska… in the middle of the woods”? Last time I checked, the Palin’s growing compound in Wasilla was a stone’s throw away from a major highway on one side, and the Best Western Lake Lucille on another side. The zoning is designed to maximize the number of lots around the lake, so plenty of neighbors. And didn’t her mom keep talking over and over about how Wasilla was a thriving city, and the fastest growing community in Alaska?
Not to be nit-picky, but is a federal trial under oath on the witness stand really the place for…. dramatic exaggeration?
