When I was a kid I read the silly but hilarious Russian book Mess Mend, which was something of a mystery novel and speculative fiction at the same time. Among other things (I don't think I'd ever seen so many plot lines in any other book) it features a mysterious disease that turns really bad people into animals, literally, making them unable to walk upright and turning their hands into paws.
For some reason this book always comes to my mind nowadays when I hear anything about George Galloway. When a few months ago I read that he was walking on all fours and meowing on some TV show the feeling was quite surreal, and it didn't go away.
