Funerals are for the living, not the dead—that’s an old adage, and if a new report is accurate, Hillary Clinton has taken it to heart in a way that raises eyebrows. According to Radar, insiders close to Hillary say she is already planning her husband Bill Clinton’s memorial service. The catch? It sounds like the service might be less about the 42nd president and more about his wife.
The report, picked up by American Thinker, suggests Hillary is acting on her own initiative rather than at Bill’s request. If Bill had asked her to plan his funeral, that would be a sweet, wifely act. But if she’s doing it on her own, it suggests she may be counting the days until she can bid farewell to the man who made her famous—but never quite got her into the White House herself.
A history of health scares
The timing of this news is notable. Bill Clinton, now in his late 70s, has had a series of health problems over the years. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery; in 2005, he suffered a partially collapsed lung; and in 2010, he had two coronary stents implanted. After those scares, he adopted a healthier diet and lost weight, which seemed to buy him time.
But his health woes resumed in recent years. In 2021, he was treated for sepsis. In 2024, he was hospitalized with a fever. And just a year ago, according to the report, he was carrying around a portable defibrillator. It paints a picture of a man whose health is fragile, even if he’s still very much alive.
The American Thinker piece, written by Andrea Widburg, does not wish Bill ill. She notes she has always had a soft spot for his charm and considers him, compared to Democrats who came after him, a decent president. She hopes he has as long and happy a life as possible. But she can’t help wondering what kind of funeral Hillary would plan.
A funeral for the living—or about the living?
Widburg says she’s been thinking about funerals lately, having attended a strange one a few weeks ago for a friend who died suddenly. The friend was described as ebullient, cheerful, and caring, but her funeral was anything but a celebration of her life. The remaining family members spoke only about themselves—their lives, their families, their departed spouses. No friends were invited to speak. The service ended with a bizarre recording of “Face to Face,” sung by a man who sounded like Kermit the Frog, which only added to the strangeness.
Widburg’s devout Catholic friend clutched her arm and gasped throughout the service. It’s one thing for funerals to be for the living, she reflects, but it’s another for them to be about the living.
Given Hillary’s reverence for herself above all others, Widburg strongly suspects the funeral she’s planning will have Hillary as the star and Bill as a bit player—despite his accomplishments and the fact that she never achieved the real prize of the presidency.
The report doesn’t specify when the funeral might occur, and there’s no indication Bill’s health is in immediate crisis. But the fact that Hillary is reportedly planning ahead, and in a way that puts herself at the center, raises the question: whose funeral would it really be?
It’s worth noting that this is all based on unnamed insiders and Radar’s reporting, which American Thinker is relaying. Neither Hillary nor Bill Clinton has commented on the matter. But in the world of political gossip, it’s a story that resonates with a certain audience—those who see Hillary as someone who has always sought the spotlight, even at others’ expense.
As Widburg puts it, Hillary is like an angry Doberman in a pink tutu. You can dress the dog up as much as you like, but you know it’s mean. It’s a harsh characterization, but it captures the sentiment of many on the right who have never warmed to Hillary Clinton.
For now, Bill Clinton is still here, and there’s no official word on any funeral plans. But if the report is true, it’s an interesting glimpse into the mind of one of America’s most polarizing political figures. Whether it’s a sign of love or a sign of something else, only Hillary knows. And she’s not telling.
