Mike -- the only thing that many of us seem to be communicating to you is that the two events you've described don't bear the comparison you're making. This is apples and oranges. You see these two events as similar, and I don't. I understand your attitude toward Rush, and agree with you to a point, but I don't see the analogy between these two disparate events.

BTW, remember Jimmy the Greek? Not a political figure at all, but that incident might provide a better analogy...
