The Cow shuffled closer. Peering over Gramsci's shoulders, she saw the article he was referring to. "Now that's downright scary!"
"Isn't it?" concurred Gramsci. "Imagine hoping to become the first black president of a country, and being outed as family of both the current president, and the current vice president!"
"The Bush dynasty sounds a lot like the Bothas," remarked the Cow. "There was a Thozamile Botha too, wasn't there, in amongst all the PWs and Stoffels and Piks. And, of course, a Gatsha Botha-lezi..."
"And don't forget," Gramsci added, "that Thabo is an anagram of Botha, too!"
The Cow paused. "Do you suppose..." she began nervously, "the same way that certain afflictions are hereditary, like haemophilia and a predilection to alcoholism, that politicianism might be genetically linked, too?"
