Senator Ted Kennedy Has a Swimmers Ear Flare-up

After the immaculate coronation of The One yesterday, there was a luncheon for a bunch of big-wig Democrats. Teddy Kennedy’s Swimmers Ear flared up unexpectedly, and he flopped around on the floor like a gaffed tuna. He was rushed from the room and Obama tried to use his powers of healing on him, but to no avail.

From ABCnews here:

Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., who is battling a brain tumor swimmer’s ear, was taken away from the inaugural luncheon on Capitol Hill in convulsions.

Kennedy was at a table with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., Vice President Mondale and Mrs. Mondale, and others. While at the table, Kennedy began having seizures that lasted for several minutes. As they were carrying Kennedy out of the room, he was still suffering a seizure. President Barack Obama went out of the room with him, but came back in the luncheon room.

I guess Teddy was dumped at the loser’s table.  Mondale, Kerry and Kennedy all lost in their bids for the Presidency.
