Former President Bill Clinton Hospitalized

Former President, Bill Clinton, admitted himself to a hospital in New York with chest pains and received two stents due to a clot in one of his coronary arteries.  Bill Clinton had heart surgery several years ago, and the word is that the procedure he underwent today was common among heart patients and that he was in good shape.

Here's a statement from Bill Clinton's spokesperson:

"Today President Bill Clinton was admitted to the Columbia Campus of New York Presbyterian Hospital after feeling discomfort in his chest. Following a visit to his cardiologist, he underwent a procedure to place two stents in one of his coronary arteries. President Clinton is in good spirits, and will continue to focus on the work of his Foundation and Haiti's relief and long-term recovery efforts. In 2004, President Clinton underwent a successful quadruple bypass operation to free four blocked arteries."
