Here’s hoping Bill Clinton is back on his feet in short order.

The former president, now UN special envoy to Haiti, was hospitalized yesterday with chest pains.

According to a Clinton spokesman, surgeons at New York’s Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital inserted stents to open one of his coronary arteries.

Clinton underwent quadruple-bypass heart surgery in 2004, so any further complications are certainly grounds for real concern.

It would also come as no surprise if his role in the Haiti earthquake-relief effort has taken a toll on his health.

Thus, it was good to hear last night that Clinton is “in good spirits.”

Get well soon, Mr. President.

You have work to do.
