For example, lets say that I think pedophilia is evil, but that 16 yr old next door is mighty sweet. Does it matter whetehr I'm 16 yrs old or 61 yrs old?
I think that it absolutely matters, and that is the issue here. In this case, Junior is the 16yo and Rush is the 61yo. Rush is an experienced public speaker who was speaking in a very public forum. Junior was engaging in some locker room banter with his buddies. It's like comparing the political philosophies of Henry Kissinger with those of Mike Tyson. One you take seriously -- the other you don't.
