Breaking News: Attorney General Mukasey collapses at speech.


No word yet on the cause:

Attorney General Michael Mukasey collapsed while giving a speech on national security to a prominent Republican lawyers’ organization.

Mr. Mukasey appeared to slur about 20 minutes into his speech at the Federalist Society’s annual dinner, held in a Washington hotel. Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, who provide security for the attorney general, rushed to his aid before he fell to the floor of the podium. District of Columbia Fire Department medics arrived and began efforts to provide medical attention. The state of his health is unknown.

We’ll update as we hear more. Until then: prayers and good wishes for him, his family and loved ones are, as always, appropriate.

and it looks like a stroke. Hard to say if it’s minor or major, but that’s definitely what it looks like.

My prayers go out to the Mukasey family.

 

Stroke.

And failing that, I hope he recovers fully.

 

Thoughts and prayers for him and his family.

Not a MD, however the slurred speech does indicate a stroke. May God be with him.

Here is praying for a speedy and full recovery. God bless you and watch over you in your time of need.

Yeah, hope he makes a full recovery

Looks like he did indeed stroke out, but suposedly he’s now ‘conscious, conversant and alert’, so there’s some good news.

Happened scary fast, but as you can see they were on him fast too.

 

Our prayers are with the Mukasey family

Lets keep the Attorney General and his family in our thoughts and prayers. He has been a dedicated public servant and we as Americans are fortunate to have him as our Attorney General. God Bless
