[Jennicut]

"Former President Bill Clinton Hospitalized in New York City". Nothing else reported yet. http://abcnews.go.com/

1. On MSNBC too, but no details. nt

[Jennicut]

3. I am praying it is nothing serious.

[SPedigrees]

4. Me too. nt

[alsame]

8. They are discussing now on MSNBC - hospital will not give details, but

they are talking about his previous heart surgery.

[gateley]

2. CNN is covering it (don't think MSNBC is yet) nt

[KansDem]

5. "May have had stent procedure."

Nothing else yet...

[ericgtr]

6. Hope he's okay

:(

[Happyhippychick]

7. "Hospitalized with chest pains"

just now on CNN

[cutlassmama]

10. he's had heart problems before. Hope he turns out OK.

[Happyhippychick]

12. They just reported that he had a heart attack in 2004. I didn't realize that, I knew about the

bypass.

[marlakay]

16. I wonder if that was kept quiet because of Hillary

and wanting to be pres?? A lot of people voted for her thinking Bill will be close by.

[karynnj]

25. I think they reported in 2004 that he was in great danger

of a heart attack - could it be the reporter simply misspoke -or was this reported as new news.

[Happyhippychick]

26. It was being reported as if it was old news and I assumed I had forgotten. I'm glad it's not just

me.

9. MSNBC saying stent for blocked artery

My heart jumped when they announced "Breaking News--Bill Clinton".

Sending my prayers.

[backscatter712]

13. Hopefully, this is a fixable thing.

Heart problems can be really serious and lethal, but if he's lucky, and the stent solves the immediate problem, Bill Clinton could be walking out of the hospital tomorrow.

Here's hoping that's the case.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

11. I am sure Rush will give us a complete report!!

Hope not too serious:thumbsup:

[rasputin1952]

19. Yep...and Rush will never have to go through this...he has no heart...

just a little cinder where one should be...:evilgrin:

[alsame]

14. 2 stents inserted per statement from his office, just read on CNN.

[HughMoran]

22. My dad has a dozen of those things

They seem to do the job OK.

[alsame]

23. Yea, the Drs on TV keep saying this is 'maintenance' in many

cases and shouldn't have any long term negative effects. I hope he and your dad are both around for a long time.

[Phx_Dem]

15. Thoughts and prayers are with Bill!

Channel the positive energy: He's a trooper and he's going to be just fine.

:grouphug:

[Beacool]

17. Apparently they replaced two stents.

Someone on another post said that his office released a statement to that effect. What sucks is that the poor guy doesn't even have his wife around to take care of him. She was at the WH and tomorrow she's going overseas. I hope that at least Chelsea is in town.

:(

[Jennicut]

18. I heard Hillary is flying to NY to be with him now.

Hope he gets better.

[PBS Poll-435]

20. I am glad to hear it

Get better, Bill. :cry:

[Beacool]

I hope that she is.

ABC said that she was seen leaving the WH and didn't appear to be too concerned.

:-(

[alsame]

24. CNN confirmed she's on her way to NY and that Chelsea has been

with him since he was admitted.

[Beacool]

29. Thanks.

I have since seen on TV that she was at the hospital until 11:30PM. She's postponing her trip overseas for one day. I'm glad that she's there for Bill and Chelsea.

:-)

[rasputin1952]

21. he should be fine...

but there are situations that might turn ugly.

I think he'll pull through just fine.

Thoughts are with you Mr President!...O8)

[Hekate]

27. May the Big Dog be running off-leash again soon. He still has a lot to give.

I'm sorry he seems to have such a bum ticker, but gods willing he will be with us for many years yet.

Putting in stents, like any other heart-related surgery, may now be common -- but it still carries an element of risk. Every time.

28. Why is everyone talking in the *past tense* as if the Big Dawg has died?!??! n/t
