Peyton couldn’t keep Sarah Palin safe

Testimony with Tennessee ties was given by Sarah Palin’s aide. Frank Bailey of Anchorage, Alaska, a former Palin campaign aide who also worked in her state administration, testified he set up the e-mail account for Palin just after she was picked to be the running mate of Republican presidential nomineeJohn McCain.

Bailey said after being notified about someone breaking in Palin’s e-mail in September 2008, he had to act quickly to block further intruders. Bailey testified that he acted on a suggestion by his wife that he build a new password out of Peyton Colts.

“Just like Peyton Manning?” Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Weddle jokingly asked Bailey.

Bailey said his wife is more a sports fan than he is and he at the time didn’t realize any connection between Manning and the state where the Indianapolis Colts quarterback remains beloved since his years as a star at the University of Tennessee.

“I’m embarrassed to say I did not,” Bailey said.
