Breaking: Two stents installed for Bill Clinton for heart problem scare

Clinton is in good spirits. Here is a statement by Douglas Band, Counselor to Bill Clinton from Clinton Foundation website:

"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."

Clinton is expected to stay the night at Columbia Campus of New York Presbyterian Hospital, where he was admitted earlier today. Get well, Bubba.

Update: Hillary Clinton is en route to New York. CNN reports Chelsea is at the hospital too.
