CNN is reporting that U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey is back at work at the Justice Department today after an apparent fainting spell last night. Mukasey had been giving a speech defending Bush Administration policies at a Federalist Society dinner at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel here in D.C. when he slumped over and passed out. Doctors at GWU Hospital have since given the AG a clean bill of health. Mukasey had reportedly been talking for at least 30 minutes before he passed out — maybe he just locked his knees?

wow, people actually do say, "is there a doctor in the house?"
glad to hear it wasn't a stroke or anything too serious.
Remind me not to talk for more than 30 minutes.
How do you like the show so far, Doc?
Overcome by the stench of the Federalists he was speaking to.
I think you're right, DCist. Vasovagal syncope.
Treatment (at least from EMS perspective) if you're sure that's what it was is BTW to allow the person to fall over (in a controlled fashion) after which time they will self-correct. In other words what you saw on stage there was a comprehensive and appropriate treatment program.
Sorry, by "fall over" I meant, as my wife favors, "tump over." You have to let them just tump over.
I can't wait until Mukasey starts doin whacky, braindamaged stuff, like banning casual Fridays or dismissing U.S. Attorneys for being Democrats.
Can someone blow-up the picture a bit? I saw a blowgun in the background. Yep! It's a dart.
Sure, he's a jerk store, but I'm glad he's alright.
GW Hospital can say whatever they want, but the dude stroked out. Didn't anybody notice the incoherent speech right before he began to lose consciousness?
I'm surprised the EMS people on scene didn't think he was drunk.
Look at all the free publicity for Marriott.
@ HCE: Any speech given by any member of the Bush administration is incoherent speech.
I like the newly gentrified GWU Hospital ER entrance. It has valet parking.
