Mukasey Collapse Sends Ripple Affects Throughout Traditional and News Media

The big breaking news story of the night that even overrode Barack Obama on the verge of offering Hilary Clinton the Secretary of State job was the stunningly collapse of Attorney General Michael Mukasey:

ABC:
Attorney General Michael Mukasey, the no-nonsense former federal judge who took over the Justice Department after Alberto Gonzales resigned in disgrace, collapsed during a speech Thursday night and lost consciousness.

NBC/MSNBC:
Mukasey's was noticeably shaking when he collapsed shortly before 10:20 p.m. EST.

An FBI official said Mukasey got stuck on a word during his speech at the Marriott Hotel at Wardman Park in northwest Washington, repeated it several times and then "went down hard." His security detail called 911.

Mukasey lay on the stage for 10 minutes being attended to by his FBI detail before medics arrived, according to a Justice Department official who was there.

Talking Points Memo, as they updated some very positive news:
The DOJ has now released a statement describing Attorney General Mukasey as "conscious, conversant and alert. His vital statistics are strong and he is in good spirits." The AG is currently at George Washington University Hospital and will remain there overnight for observation.
