From the "Politicians are too stupid to be allowed to use a computer" file, comes this little gem.

The upshot is that a Missouri reporter used "View page source", a right click context menu item that is standard on any browser, and discovered a poorly formatted page on a State Government website, which revealed over 100,000 social security numbers of education staff...(Oops!)
The reporter did the ethical thing of reporting what he found to the goverment and held off publishing this story until they had fixed it
Now, Chief Dumbass Governor of Missouri wants the reporter prosecuted for hacking a government website.
"Hacking" because he used "View page source"? How do these dumb-***** ever get elected?
