Do you think that people who inadvertently allowed their memos to be stolen by failing to make sure that what’s supposed to be a password-protected site was in fact password-protected ought to be just as embarrassed as the people who stole the memos?
Neither do I.

Of course it would be extra-special delicious if it turned out that what the Republicans thought was merely somewhat dishonorable snooping fell happened to satisfy all the elements of one of the recently created cybercrime felonies.
