Delivering a speech to the Federalist Society on Thursday night, Attorney General Michael Mukasey began slurring his words, went rigid, then collapsed before a shocked crowd. When the incident occurred, Mukasey was detailing what he saw as the Bush Administration's successes in the war on terror. The AG was taken to a nearby hospital, and will remain there overnight for testing.

Mukasey is said to be resting comfortably, and is alert and "in good spirits." More details when they become available.

In a tangentially related story, earlier today, a federal court issued an order that neither Mukasey, the president, nor the Federalist Society were likely to applaud, ordering the Bush administration to immediately release 5 detainees from Guantanamo Bay, and throwing the detention of several others into question.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
