November 20, 2008 Featured 1 Comment

UPDATE: Attorney General Michael Mukasey is conscious and alert after collapse, according to the Department of Justice.

AG Mukasey has collapsed while on stage giving a speech at the Federalist Society meeting in Washington tonight. He was taken out on a stretcher and reports are he was slurring his words.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. 

 

From Michelle Malkin:

Whoa. Attorney General Michael Mukasey collapsed while giving a speech at the Federalist Society meeting in Washington tonight, according to AP and Politico. Apparently, he was still receiving medical treatment on stage at the event as of 15 minutes ago — 10:30pm Eastern.

From CNN:

(CNN) – U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey collapsed while giving a speech Thursday at the Federalist Society dinner at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington.

Mukasey, 67, is a retired federal judge appointed to the bench by President Reagan.

Mukasey was nominated to be attorney general by President Bush in September 2007 and was confirmed by the Senate in November 2007.

As a judge, Mukasey ruled that the U.S. government’s detention of “dirty bomb” suspect Jose Padilla was constitutional, but that he must be allowed to meet with his attorneys.

During his attorney general confirmation hearings, Mukasey said he would make legal decisions based “on facts and law, not by interests and motives.”

Mukasey also said he would resign from office if faced with a presidential order he believed was unconstitutional. 

More to come as this is a developing story.

    USA
    Anyone who wants to destroy us should we defeat said Obama (U.S. doctrine against “evil” powers)
    The U.S. has always built on expansion (the fate of America)
    And capitalism’s idea of utopia (Law and prosperity)

    Biochips are a bit of the spiritual cornerstone of the Constitution (biochips)
    Variant success in a world that despite everything NOT have a God (most information Americans were Deister)
    You have been kidnapped by religious jihadists

    Forget the Arab States (win your empire)

    Russia’s president will of course extend the term of office (axis of evil)
    And geostrategic with weapons

I Miss Bill Clinton…. Comparatively Speaking

November 19, 2009

I couldn’t stand Bill Clinton at the time, and we sure had fun with the Monica thing, but at least Clinton was a real American. He even balanced a budget or two as I recall (with a Republican Congress).
The debates over policy were within a context that Barack Obama has blown to smithereens. I don’t [...]

If you feel a pain in your ass, it is probably not cancer. It is probably the US House Of Representatives passing a humongous health care bill that will cost you a lot of money. It passed right through the House Of Representatives and up your rectum.
