      <title>And They Say Politics Is An Easy Job</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&amp;#38;click_id=6&amp;#38;art_id=vn20060531115552571C808670"&gt;Two MPs mugged on campaign trail in Cape&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


And here&amp;#8217;s a quote from Tony Leon on the incident:
	&lt;blockquote&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;DA leader Tony Leon, who was also in Mitchell&amp;#8217;s Plain, said that at this stage in South Africa, it was &amp;#8220;something of a triumph&amp;#8221; that his MPs had escaped unscathed.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/blockquote&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I guess being able to walk through townships without getting chairs thrown at them is making some progress. Next milestone: walking through Gugulethu and only encountering mild verbal abuse.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Baby steps Tony, baby steps.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
