I’m watching Keith and just have to say - migraines are not on a par with Cheney’s heart condition(s).  Migraines are neurological, which is a very different monster. 

Depending on what kind(s) you have, you can either just have headaches and nausea, or you can become effectively blind temporarily, or you can find yourself having to curl up in a dark, quiet room for days or weeks, OR you can find yourself unable to speak an entire sentence (including being unable to remember what you were even thinking about, let alone what you were trying to say).  This can go on for days or weeks, and sometimes months.  They aren’t just physically debilitating, they can cause you to be unable to think coherently - off an on for considerable periods of time.

If Bachmann’s really taking that much medication, chances are she suffers from pretty severe migraines which could morph into the last type I described above (similar to what happened with the TV reporter at the awards show not too long ago, or worse - she remembered what she was trying to say; I would not remember within 10-30 seconds).

I’m a freak and have all of these types at various times, so I assure you that no leader of a nation could function with anything but the mildest form(s), which Bachmann does not sound like she has.  Not that any of us thought she could function as a leader even without migraines….
