Attorney General Mukasey Collapses During Speech

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.
