El Condor Pasa

From Yahoo News, an Inside Baseball recap of the Kerry campaign:

Daughter Vanessa didn't enjoy being a prop, Teresa was complaining of migraines and telling her husband she couldn't walk anymore. The candidate tried to bravely soldier on, pulling his sullen wife and children to show them the magnificent condors flying overhead.

You know, if someone feels really, really ill - migraines certainly qualify - perhaps pointing out the scavenger birds circling overhead isn't the best way to cheer them up?
