Sarah Palin had her Yahoo mail account hacked because of those "security" questions. In 2008. We should be well past the time where they are a thing.

Q: What do you often see when you look out your back window?

A: Vladimir Putin riding a horse shirtless.

Hey maybe the GOP got connected with Putin because he was often at Palin's backyard BBQs when he would ride over to say hi when he saw the gathering.

Though I also just noticed there's only two letters different between Putin and Palin... Maybe it was just Putin in a wig the whole time.
