I've never been taken to the hospital in "Good Condition" ... he must really have GREAT insurance ... some good things have come out of it .... "He is alert" .... Obama "wishes him a speedy recovery" .......... as opposed to?
Attorney General Eric Holder was taken to a Washington hospital on Thursday, after he experienced "faintness and shortness of breath."
The Justice Department issued this statement about his condition:
"As a precaution, the Attorney General was taken to MedStar Washington Hospital Center to undergo further evaluation. He is currently resting comfortably and in good condition. He is alert and conversing with his doctors. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available."
Holder has been attorney general since 2009. He recently told The New Yorker that intends to step down this year. The Justice Department disputed that report, saying Holder told the magazine he planned to stay "well into" the year.
We'll update this post once we know more.
Update at 12:48 p.m. ET. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said during his press briefing that President Obama was notified of Holder's condition and that he "wishes him a speedy recovery."
