I’m imagining a conversation in Ancient Rome:-<\/p>\n
“You really ought to condemn all this trash talk about Senator Incitatus – after all, I condemned the trash talk about Senator Asinius”<\/p>\n

“Even so, fairness dictates that you should condemn all this trash talk about Incitatus and give him a chance – after all, he’s hardly been in post a year…”<\/p>\n
“No, look, there REALLY is no comparison. Asinius was, after all, human, but Incitatus is a horse”<\/p>\n
