The 10 Most Hilarious Quotes From 'Blood Feud' Book About The Clintons And The Obamas

1. Bill's fear of dying is not being considered absent political calculations. These are the Clintons, after all. And, according to Klein, the former president wants an elaborate funeral in the unfortunate possibility that he croaks, so that Hillary might get some sympathy votes. Here is Bill's quote:

"Obviously you have to have a big state funeral for me, with as much pomp and circumstance as possible. … Wear your widow's weeds, so people will feel sympathy for you. Wear black for a decent mourning period and make my death an asset. The images on television of the funeral and the grieving widow in black will be priceless. … So you'll have to take maximum advantage of my death … It should be worth a couple of million votes."

the whole article is pretty funny, even if it seems full of bull:
