Update: AG Mukasey Is Back in the Saddle
Last night, Attorney General Michael Mukasey collapsed while addressing the Federalist Society. Some feared the AG had suffered a stroke.
Today brings good news about his condition. This morning we reported (see the 10 AM update): “The AG is fine and will be released from the hospital later today. No word yet on what the diagnosis was. He will be taking a few days off.”
A few days off? Scratch that. He’s heading back into work, perhaps as you read this. Here’s the message he just sent to all Justice Department employees (via the BLT):
As you may have heard, I collapsed briefly last night at the conclusion of a speech. All tests at the hospital have come back with good results, and I feel fine. Accordingly, I plan to report to the Department this afternoon and to continue doing the work I swore to do last November and which it has been an honor to do with you ever since.Thank you for your good wishes and your good work. It has been and remains an honor to serve with you.
We’re glad to hear that Attorney General Mukasey — widely respected among DOJ lawyers, especially compared to Alberto Gonzales, whose job performance even conservative lawyers won’t defend — is doing well and back on the job.

Are Black people even allowed by law to hold positions of power other than that of the dominant male in the prison shower?

Ready, fire, aim!
He actually sent the message only to his second in command - the others in the department learned about it through the electronic surveillance program.

the racist troll is so "provocative." Here, I'll be the outraged liberal who buys into the inane provocation: "grrr, racist. your claims are so gosh-darn outrageous. how can you call yourself civilized, I'm offended, etc."
There, now we've completed the cycle and can start over with the next round of internet idiocy.
God smote Mukasey. And yet he survived. Evil really does triumph over good....in a lear jet.
di you think he collapsed from an allergic reaction to the asinine dogshit in his fedsoc speech?
