Borking isn't like it used to be

From Cliff May on The Corner in today's NRO, on the tactics used 20 years ago vs. Robert Bork:

One of the issues raised by Judge Bork’s detractors was his video rental history – which was leaked to the press. This, from Senator Kennedy & Co., a wing of the Democratic Party which today is exercised about the possibility that intelligence officers are monitoring the library computer usage and phone calls of terrorists.

For the record, May says, Bork did not rent any terribly controversial videos. But if it succeeds in smearing a conservative, does it really matter?
