1. "The agents have everything under control,"

right.

[MissMarple]

5. Exactly my thought.

How pathetic that is.

[regnaD kciN]

10. It ranks right up there with...

..."Obviously, a major malfunction." (Challenger disaster)

[Botany]

12. Not unless they are Drs. w/ the needed gear they don't have .....

.... everything under control.

The man just had a stroke and passed out and yet that
person tells a bald faced lie.

[lapfog_1]

2. Looks like a stroke. Started slurring his words, losing place...

That's bad.

I hope he stays alive... he will likely be needed as a witness for the prosecution.

[Submariner]

3. Naw....he was looking at my 401(k) statement

[Connonym]

4. I feel like a sicko for watching it but I did anyway

Sort of like how I felt when I went against my better judgment and watched the clip of Hussein being executed.

[PatrynXX]

6. the fundementals of our economy are strong

er... well there's always Bush Sr passing out in front of the Japanese or whichever it was. Bonk. Compared to stuff on Youtube this is mild. Now sicko would be everyone including me who's seen Kennedy get shot about 800 times in one's lifetime explaining which part of the brain flew were. That shit just numbs the crap out of me.

[tclambert]

27. Bush Sr. went down from too much sake, didn't he?

You throw up and pass out when you drink too much. Not from the flu.

[ksimons]

7. at least his second in line wasn't a Sarah Palin - how much scarier

very scary

[Nostradammit]

8. He knows.

He knows that the torture bullshit ain't gonna fly. I'll bet he's under a lot of stress.

[JDPriestly]

9. Mukasey's conscience was eating away at him just for a couple of minutes.

I'm sure he has recovered now. He'll be back at his own game soon.

He fell in front of the Federalist Society. How ironic. What better place to be silenced. Maybe the wrath of God struck him.

Mukasey was born with the gifts, the intelligence to live a life of integrity, but his conduct, his decisions as Attorneu General demonstrate that somewhere, sometime along the way he sold out, probably early on. How sad.

[Hubert Flottz]

13. "Maybe the wrath of God struck him."

And while he was praising George W. Bush?

Maybe God don't like torture and murder and lies and theft?

[Wetzelbill]

11. Wow this longer version is worse

When he starts to slur his words, that's bad. I hope he's ok, I wish nothing bad on anybody. What hell for family and loved ones to have something like this happen so publicly. They'll probably see this video all over the news etc.

[ksimons]

14. might be a drop in blood sugar

that happened to my mom when she was undergoing chemo - and her red blood cell count was low. just needed a rest, some apple juice and back into bed. totally identical - blabbering and slow slump in awareness. eerie, but hopefully not life-threatening

if it is a stroke, I would be surprised.

[Hulk]

15. How dare they move the flag.......traitors!

Someone should have gone up on the stage while those irresponsible "agents" were all worried about Mukasey, and grabbed the flag and proceeded to wave it while singing "God Bless America"!!

What's this world coming to?

[underpants]

16. It's literally like watching the conservative moments fall

this was at a Federalist Society event too

"Oh, no, no!" people in the audience cried out as Mukasey fell. "Oh, my God!"

After collapsing, Mukasey lay on the stage for about 10 minutes being attended to by his FBI security detail and medical personnel at the dinner, said eyewitness Abigail Thernstrom, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. Though he lost consciousness initially, Mukasey appeared to be awake when he was taken from the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in northwest Washington, she said.

"It was hard to watch such a thing," Thernstrom said. "It was horrible."

Yeah hon it has been horrible to watch your organizations evil over the last 30 years too

[fasttense]

17. On the up side, he has real good health insurance.

Not like us little people who's insurance suddenly claims a preexisting condition and they wont cover the cost when sickness eventually hits.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

[Lancer]

18. Hey, stop it.

This same thing happened last summer to my father at a family picnic.

It was terrifying. He has still not made a complete recovery.

I don't care who Mr. Mukasey works for. I actually know very little about him personally. Disagree with his policies? That's fine.

But no one deserves to be mocked for having a stroke, seizure or other neurological trauma.

[sarah FAILIN]

19. I agree

He is a human being and it's very disturbing to see this happen to a person no matter what your political beliefs are.

[newamericanpatriot]

26. Bullshit!

I'm extremely compassionate, but couldn;t give a damn if he died on the spot. In fact, I'd applaud.

[snort]

20. this is what happens

when you use your mouth for excretion.

[Politicalboi]

21. I heard he was reading

Cheney's indictment. LOL

[Lancer]

22. Sorry, still not funny.

I despise the Bush Administration as much as the next person. I would like to see W and all his minions who acted illegally be prosecuted and sent to jail forever.

But having a hearty laugh at the expense of anyone who is having a stroke, TIA, epileptic seizure or even a fainting spell -- any situation in which it's obvious their speech is becoming impaired and they are losing motor control and consciousness is just. not. funny.

Let's be grownups.

[fascisthunter]

23. ya know... for a Guy Who Helped a Murderous Criminal Admin...

he is getting off lightly here. Keep it real, ok?

[peacetalksforall]

24. Why does the AG have SS guards?

[Mrspeeker]

25. my grandmother just had a stroke

This is not a FUNNY matter. red, blue, repub, democrat .....I don't care....I hope he will be ok!

[tclambert]

28. But . . . could Saturday Night Live MAKE it funny?

People may not remember, but they made the word nigger funny. (Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor)

[sarah FAILIN]

29. I think that's different than someone looking like he was having a stroke.

A word isn't the same thing as someone possibly dying and I'm pretty sure it would blow up in their faces if they did it.

[tclambert]

30. Well, he walked out of the hospital under his own power and appears to be suffering no ill effects

from the episode. That might take the "dying" out of it. And dark humor exists. Within hours of the Space Shuttle Challenger blowing up, I heard five jokes about it. Come to think of it, they weren't very funny. I don't know. I'm just outgassing.
