The star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them, campaigning relentlessly in a caravan of carbon-spewing buses, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed and abandoned all notions of bias-free professional journalism."
4th best President, 2nd Coming. Given the time of the year, the parallels are obvious, aren't they?
