not even an attempt at logic or common sense!

Is David even trying anymore?

Maybe not sadly, but most certainly no! David Frum writes:

"Imagine if an e-mail had surfaced showing that a top aide to Clinton--say, Sid Blumenthal--had told a reporter about a covert CIA agent." The always fair and balanced Howard Kurtz posed that hypothetical in a column yesterday, and it's a reasonable question. And as it happens, we know the answer.

As a matter of fact, a Clinton aide - not a top aide, but a political appointee - did release personal information about one of Clinton's accusers, highly embarrassing information at that: I am referring of course to former Assistant Secretary of Defense Kenneth Bacon's decision to release Linda Tripp's 3-decade old arrest record to New Yorker writer Jane Mayer. [Emphasis added]

ok, so it wasn't a Clinton top aide, or even an aide at all, and it wasn't about a covert CIA agent, and it wasn't about classified, national-security information (unless being exposed to Linda Tripp can be considered dangerous. Well, ok.)

Anyway, except for all those differences it's totally the same, which is why Frum concludes:

So there's our answer to Kurtz's hypothetical. Had this story involved a Clinton aide, the best guess is that what would have happened is: At least as far as the major media are concerned, he'd have gotten clean away with it.

And those two cases were so totally the same thing. Except, you know, for the fact that just about every single thing was different. And yet, and yet, Frum really goes the extra mile in the self-discrediting department here:

Bacon's actions - unlike anything Karl Rove is said to have done - were clearly illegal.
