Former President Bill Clinton has been discharged from the hospital after being treated for the flu, a spokesperson said on Tuesday.

"He and his family are deeply grateful for the exceptional care provided by the team at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and are touched by the kind messages and well wishes he received. He sends his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to all," Clinton's deputy chief of staff Angel Ureña said in a statement.

Clinton, 78, was admitted to the hospital in Washington on Monday after developing a fever.

He was in "good spirits" as he received care and underwent testing, Ureña said.

By the way, my wife and I caught some of a book-talk on CSPAN on Saturday night: Cory Booker discussing “Citizen” with Bill Clinton. Excellent stuff…recommended!

I am on medication for it. My daughter in California has decided to stay home for Christmas. Our community theater has cancelled the Christmas play. They have never done that! There is strange illness all over the country.
