In the Christmas song Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Rudolph is jeered at and mocked by his fellow reindeer who refuse to play with him.

When Santa decides to ask Rudolph to lead his team, how attitudes change. His stable mates now love him and sing his praises. What a bunch of hypocrites!

Familiar? Sounds a lot like our political arena to me.
