CNN just has a breaking alert regarding Mukasey collapsing at a Federalist Society dinner....
Does anyone have more information on this?
UPDATE-
MSNBC and Foxnews have the same breaking news banner regarding this situation but with no actual information in article form. Seems as if they are catching up to the situation by reading CNN. Amazing. You'd figure there would be reporters on hand at the FedSoc meeting to cover this....
2nd UPDATE-
Thanks to Adam B for the following comment-
I've gotten texted by folks in the room (22+ / 0-)
Happened about 20 minutes ago. No signs of movement. About 2000 people in the room -- Justice Alito, former AG Ashcroft among those seen visibly shaken. He was just removed from the room.
Keep him in your prayers.

7th and Final Update-
Seems as if the MSM is finally putting up some articles on Mukasey's collapse, albeit with mostly his background info rather than what actually happened tonight. Seems like we can get future updates from them...I'm sure they are desperately trying to figure out what is going on.
Thank you to everyone who made an effort to find other sources regarding this situation.
My prayers are with the Mukasey family. Let's hope that this is only a minor medical issue and that he fully recovers.
Good night everyone.
