Former Vice President Walter Mondale, 87, has been hospitalized for influenza, former President Jimmy Carter confirmed Friday.
During a speech at the Nobel Peace Prize Forum in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Carter said he had "just got through talking" to Mondale, his former vice president, who was being treated at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
"He went there for just a regular physical examination but had a fever, and they finally said that he has influenza," Carter told the crowd. "He is in the bed right this moment, but looking forward to come back home. He said tell everybody he is doing well."
Mondale served as Carter's vice president from Jan. 20, 1977 to Jan. 20, 1981. He also served as a U.S. senator from Minnesota and ambassador to Japan. He lost the 1984 race for president to Ronald Reagan.

No comment.
While I completely disagreed with virtually position Mondull ever took, I wish him well in this situation.
