That is the most Republican-friendly version of the story, so I can understand why you take it as gospel.

A more rational human being would at least acknowledge the fact that aides are generally not as important as they think they are, and act like fuckheads when they feel like they have a shot at some power.

In the one case, it's someone being a prick cuz they can, in the other, being a prick out of a sense of patriotic duty.

That's my take on it, anyway.
