Atty General Mukasey has been taken to a hospital this evening after he collapsed during a speech during a dinner at the Federalist Society:

Attorney General Michael Mukasey collapsed during a speech Thursday night and was being taken to a hospital.

Associate Attorney General Kevin O'Connor said Mukasey began shaking while addressing the Federalist Society at a Washington hotel.

"He just started shaking and he collapsed," O'Connor said. "They're very concerned."

O'Connor said he did not know whether Mukasey, 67, had regained consciousness."

Difficult to say with so little information(and not knowing anything about any prior medical history) but it sounds like a stroke could be a possibility here. I'll let you know when there's more on his condition.
