The universe works in mysterious ways

AG Mukasey collapsed at the podium last night as he was giving a speech to the Federalist Society, just as he was defending the Bush administration's use of torture. [video] The AP is reporting this morning that he's okay and he just fainted. No sign of a stroke or anything serious. Of course, I take no pleasure in his ill health and would wish him a speedy recovery on a humanitarian level but you have to admit the timing of his fainting spell was rather karmic.
