Surprisingly, over at DK they are asking for prayers for Mukasey and his family! [thud!]

He’s only 67 years old.

Yeah almost to the point of living on borrowed time in Biblical standards.

I'm guessing some type of stroke. My FIL had a very mild one (fortunately) and he said that he felt very strange--almost like he wasn't in his body and he couldn't get the correct words out that he wanted to say. He did not lose consciousness, however. (mild symptoms)

If it was low blood sugar, I would think they could have revived him (unconcious) some what by elevating it at the scene. It certainly sounds very serious. I hope he will be alright.

I probably had that happen to me last weekend. Bottle of beer waiting for people to show up, glass of sangria, Spanish food, half a glass of sangria, then I blacked out a little while after.

And yet again, when I collapsed, I could have done serious damage to my eye.

Kos isn't quite as bad as DU. DU is an absolute sewer of a hate site.

DU is full of pre-teenaged dopers let loose on a computer as far as I can determine.

This sounds encouraging:

"A senior law-enforcement said Mukasey appeared to be talking when he was taken away."

It also said: "Mukasey's was noticeably shaking during his speech before he collapsed"

The really frightening part is that you can tell by the posts that “adults” are incapable of acting like responsible people. I just can’t imagine having so much misguided and immoral hate for other Americans as they do.

Yes, definitely sounds like a stroke. Another report I just heard on the radio said he was slurring words before, so yep, that’s it.

I also heard that it took over 10 minutes for paramedics to arrive. (Not sure if the news people have a good source on that or not. ) Given that delay, it’s actually good that it appears to be a stroke and not cardiac problems. Serious cardiac arrhythmia with that kind of delay rarely ends well.

Here’s some of what’s being said on DU:

Drowned in his own bullshit?

I’m like totally...you know, like so offended by, like your evil post.
Okay, that pretty much satisfies my demand for decency about someone who won’t uphold the law.....
Carry on.

Man how perfect is that?
It is.

Was he being waterboarded?

He is a piece of shit. May he RIP (I hope!)
This sob lied to Congress and became part of the cover up to law breaking.
Good riddance!
Eight years of Bush/Cheney have made me hard core!

Good thing he has great medical coverage...unlike so many of the rest of us
who pay his salary.

Choked on all the Reich-wing BS he spewed at that dinner?

That’s a little sample. Lovely people over there. Lord help us—they’re in charge...

I just stepped over to the Daily KOS. They are acting very decently. They have their bad seed in the mix, but on something like this, they are being pretty cool about it all.

Crap...there’s a bad word in my last post. Sorry folks...I didn’t notice. Hope it doesn’t offend. It wasn’t MY bad word, after all. :)

GOOD NEWS from Foxnews.com:

“Mukasey’s was noticeably shaking during his speech before he collapsed shortly before 10:20 p.m. EST. His security detail called 911. Mukasey was on the stage for 10 minutes being attended to by his FBI detail before medics arrived, according to a Justice Department official who was there. Mukasey was still breathing at the time, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to talk to the media.”
