Leper Girl's Leg Way Better than Winning Elections - Bawumia

The outgoing Vice President, clearly having exhausted all other avenues for positive press, has declared a four-year-old's visit the highlight of his Christmas, and possibly his entire political career, (if you ignore that one time when we stupidly expected him to fix everything, and he had a good, long laugh at our expense.)

Little Priscilla, formerly of the Weija leprosarium and now sporting a fancy new Italian prosthetic leg, paid him a visit, and Bawumia, never one to miss a photo opportunity, gushed about it online. One can imagine the scene: the Vice President, beaming like a man who just discovered the secret to eternal youth, and Priscilla, probably wondering why this man was making such a fuss over her ability to walk – something she was probably doing before some well-meaning busybody decided she needed a trip to Italy.

It's truly inspiring how a single prosthetic leg can transform a child's life and, more importantly, a politician's image. Bawumia's post, dripping with the kind of manufactured humility that became his trademark prior to the elections, praised God for the miracle of modern medicine, and of course, his own generosity in sponsoring the child's treatment.

Insiders in the Bawumia residence claim that tears flooded the Vice President's face, as he made the post, obviously due to the solemnity of the girl's visit and not anything you would imagine as mundane as losing elections, because he said so – that he was really happy, and Priscilla's visit was all he ever wanted for Christmas.
