The "upside" is that there was nothing incriminating in it.
One could imagine what's in the private emails of other politicians.

The Wall Street Journal Notes:
Here we have an actual invasion of an American citizen's privacy, and what is the press's attitude? If the AP is representative (and given its organizational structure, it should be), it is to regard 'questions about the propriety' of the victim as more important than the invasion of privacy itself.
To which Reynolds replies: "That depends. Had Obama's email been hacked by a Republican, it would be Watergate all over again. . . ."
This is what we have to deal with.
The media tried to damn Palin in relation to the Alaskan Independence Party, despite her never being a member of it, but Obama can associate with people who actually have bombed the Pentagon and that's apparently fine.
