In the episode “Bon Voyage,” in reference to Barack Obama.

RORY: Well, I was having drinks with Hugo Gray, right?… So we were just talking about different opportunities that might come up and where I’ve already applied. And he mentioned that the reporter that was covering the Barack Obama campaign for him dropped out because his fiancée got a job in Dubai, so they’re moving… So Hugo asked me if that was something I’d be interested in, and I said, “Yes, I would be interested,” and he told me more about it, and apparently I would be on the campaign trail with the other reporters: the planes, the buses, the whole deal. And I mean it’s only an online magazine, so I wouldn’t be staying where the Wall Street Journal people stay at night but…
