But what about what isn't good for the goose?
In the last election cycle, some emails came to the notice of some republican staffers. I don't know that much hacking was involved, as the emails are all kept on the same server. Among the emails were missives to prominent politicians (one of whom may be a Massachusets Senator whose name is not John) from assorted special interest groups giving the politicians marching orders. I don't know if you would call this quid pro quo, but one suggested that some upcoming confirmations of federal judges should be delayed until after certain cases were adjudicated. What was the result of uncovering all of this malfeasance? The republicans cowered to democratic charges that the emails were improperly acquired.
Now, the liberals hack into Palins personal email. How do they respond to the implication that the emails were acquired illegally? "What are you going to do? Blow up the internet?"
It boggles the mind.
