As some neurologist has pointed out, it explains his wierd record with the TANG- they took him off flight duty. (There are two or three threads about 10 pages back in GD about this- the one about Topamax is probably the most informative. It seems like a good candidate for the medication that makes him seem drunk alot of the time.)

The deal with temporal lobe epileptics is that many/most have a personality change to religiosity and such. Bush had something of the kind in the early to mid '80s.

Epilepsy is a also associated with FAE, fetal alcohol effects. I think W has a variety of neurological problems that fit to FAE, beyond epileptic stuff. Tics, dyslexic, and autistic behaviors. Arguably his face looks a bit like those of kids with FAS relative to, say, George Sr.'s and Jebbie's faces.

Babs really shouldn't have hit the bottle while preggers with him. I'll dig up the links on FAS/FAE- I posted them on some thread about a week and a half ago- if you like.
