Reuters - Former President Bill Clinton will undergo quadruple bypass surgery later on Friday, television networks reported.
ABC and CBS television reported that Clinton, 58, had checked in to the hospital for quadruple heart bypass surgery.
CNN reported that the former Democratic president was undergoing tests at New York Presbyterian hospital after experiencing chest pains.
These procedures have become relatively routine through the years so there's probably not much to worry about. Regardless, I wish Bill the best and hope he makes a full recovery.
Update:
J.B.Corrigan has some nice thoughts for Clinton.

The right-leaning blogosphere reaction to this news has been overwlehmingly positive. Speed of Thought has a round-up of reactions. I haven't come across a neative one yet, though I'm sure there will be some eventually.
By contrast, here's a typical reaction from the left to Reagan's death:
i don't care what killed him, alzhiemers or the black plague, i'm glad he's dead and i don't care how many times i'm scolded or chastised for it. the day he took office was the most depressing day of my life, and i swore, that on the day he died, i'd drink a toast of celebration and figuratively piss on his grave and have said so to several gingrich sucking reagan worshipping dickheads.
fuck ronald reagan, and i hope in some small way my fuck you counteracts all the bullshit we are going to be hammered with for a fucking month after the fall of this 'greeeeeaaaaaat human being'.
fuck you ronnie, here's to ya pal. see ya in hell
