Have any of you read the book by Bay Buchanan titled, "The Extreme Makeover of Hillary (Rodham) Clinton" ??? The book is supposed to give ABUNDANT AMMUNITION to expose her HYPOCRISY. The book apparently tells how she has undergone a "major image makeover" in order to gain the Presidency. Now folks, WHAT does she have to hide? Why would anyone who is honest have to pander around and do an overhaul to gain votes? Does she have a secret agenda?? She has been NY Senator for six years, and so far she has done nothing of significance for the state. Anyone read this book????????

I should have made it clear that this makeover is not about Hillary's looks......it is about her POLITICS and her AMBITIONS,

Elway - are these SIGNIFICANT? Go for it. I know western NYS has received none of what she promised during her campaigns.

I have read other books on Hillary - Barbara Olsen's was good. The hypocrisy is she is trying to portray herself as a moderate middle of the road democrat and she is a pinko commie.
She treats employees and staff very disrespectfully.

I haven't read it, likely won't read it.
I have read "It takes a Village" by Hillary Rodham Clinton
I have read "Living History" by Hillary Rodham Clinton
I have read "My Life" by Bill Clinton
I have Read "The Case for Hillary" by Susan Estrich
I have Read "Condi vs Hillary" by Dick Morris
Hillary has been in the public eye for 30+ years. How many public makeovers has she had. I remember there being a big rutkus when Bill Clinton was in office everytime Hillary got a new hair style. Its obvious that she is trying to make herself appealing to voters, and as such felt that she needed a makeover to make her look a little younger. Women wear makeup everyday to serve this purpose.
I agree that Hillary has been pandering both sides of the aisle since Clinton left office, and she skirts most issues until she sees the poll numbers on the particular issue. Which is why she will be be getting my vote (at least not in the primary), but let's try to focus on the stuff that matters in this election versus Hillary's latest hair style or attire.

I don't need to read a book to believe that Hillary is just a puppet. I don't think the woman actually makes any of her own decisions.
I couldn't respect her any less than I already do, so instead of taking the time to read that book, I will use my time to research the other options for President.
So far, the only think I know about the 2008 Presidential Election is who I WON'T be voting for.

Nope and don't plan to. Books authored by well known political operatives from the opposite side can rarely be expected to factual, objective or credible. I would have the same reaction if Donna Brazil wrote a book about Fred Thompson. Who cares, I will get my information from a wide range of sources and decide for myself, I do not require someone else's slanted opinion to form my own well informed opinions..

Nope, but I did read the Bernstein book, which is free of personal bias and a slanderous agenda. It's a very balanced look at the woman who will likely be our next President. Try that one, it's actually free of b.s. and tells us all everything we need to know about her.
And that is b.s. about her not doing anything of significance for the state. I have a list of sponsored bills that passed that show this is b.s. If you would like to learn the truth, let me know in add'l details and I'll be happy to list those bills.

Haven't read the book, but I have been thinking with the Clinton LEGACY towards others, I would be VERY SCARED to be running AGAINST a Clinton... especially her.
Others here who LIKE her, need to answer for a fact, just WHAT has she done for NY???? NADA in my book!

No, and I don't think I am going to either.
These "political hit job" books are a dime a dozen. I seriously doubt that many Bush supporters are going to rush out and buy the new book where Bush admits that he "does tears" either.
As far as HYPOCRISY, it seems to me that Hillary's hypocrisy level is much much lower than the vast majority of phony Republican pols. Look at all those jerks babbling on about Iraq and then stumbling and fumbling when asked why THEIR kids aren't there. Look at Romney's extremely liberal stances to get elected as Mass. Gov. that he now suddenly denounces.

Oh, it's OK for celebrities, executives & ordinary people to get makeovers, but not presidential candidates? Now who's being a hypocrite?
As for bigmikejones, obviously you & your friends don't know what the *hell you're talking about. Why don't you people become more informed before opening your traps & looking stupid?

Have you ever noticed that people do things like obssess about Clinton's ankles? Of course she needed a media coach/makeover, the whole state of political debate in this country is reduced to name calling.

I don't know of anyone that would read a book authored by Bay Buchanan except her brother.
