The secretary of Commerce, John Bryson, is taking a leave of absence to undergo medical tests. There's been speculation about his exact condition ever since the news that Bryson rear-ended two cars over the weekend here in suburban Los Angeles. L.A. police found him unconscious in his car. The White House said he suffered a seizure and in a statement that the president's thoughts are with Bryson. There was no word on how long the Commerce secretary's leave will be.
