WASHINGTON - Attorney General Michael Mukasey collapsed and lost consciousness while delivering a speech last night, a Justice Department official said.

"The attorney general is conscious, conversant, and alert," Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said after doctors admitted Mukasey to George Washington University Hospital for the night.

"The attorney general is conscious, conversant, and alert,"

If true that is much better than a lot of people in public service.

[Hardastarboard]

So in other words, he’s better now than before the collapse.
