All Hail the All-knowing Priest-King!

On the other hand, this tripe is also ridiculous:

It is impossible to write about Nelson Mandela these days and not compare him to another potentially transformational black leader, Barack Obama. The parallels are many. … And while it took twenty-seven years in prison to mold the Nelson Mandela we know, the forty-eight-year-old American president seems to have achieved a Mandela-like temperament without the long years of sacrifice.

Pass the sick bag, please. How can anyone, even Richard Stengel, managing editor of Time magazine, produce such guff?
