Some of the Hill news that's fit to blog is over the fold...

********
Bill Clinton hospitalized with chest pains.

Clinton, 63, was transported to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan for a condition related to his heart.

ABC News' chief political correspondent George Stephanopoulos reported that sources said he was taken to the hospital "likely for a stent procedure."

Sources on Capital Hill tell ABC News that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was seen leaving the Oval Office a short time ago and did not seem "too concerned" or "in a rush."

It took about 12 hours for the right to diss Rep. Murtha after his death. on twitter so the count down for it to begin against Pres. Clinton is over.

Prayers for the Clinton family.

It is a serious scroll. Decided to table this before I heard about Sen. Shelby's R-AL little announcement. Always a few kinks to work out. But no hurry, #snowpocalypse is about to hit DC again.
