Bay Buchanan has just released The Extreme Makeover of Hillary (Rodham)
Clinton, a book that could not be more topical as it
concerns a woman who could well be the next President of the United
States. Hillaryana is all the rage as several other new books are
coming out concerning her and will add to the wealth of materials
already available concerning the former First Lady: the late
Barbara Olson’s Hell to Pay: The Unfolding Story of Hillary
Rodham Clinton and R. Emmett Tyrrell’s Madame Hillary: The
Dark Road to the White House. And now Mr. Tyrrell has released
The Clinton Crack-Up, which is about the Boy President’s
post-presidency. A good deal of the new book is devoted to the
indispensable Mrs. C., or Bruno, as he calls her at critical
moments.
Should Senator Clinton be elected, it is a foregone conclusion
that she won’t be appointing Ms. Buchanan to any posts in her
administration. Her book is a concise critique of Hillary
conservatives will appreciate. Its author has spent thirty years in
politics and was Treasurer of the United States under President
Ronald Reagan. She appears as a pundit on television quite
frequently and has worked for CNBC/MSNBC and CNN. She current
senior adviser to Congressman Tom Tancredo in his 2008 campaign for
the presidency.
BC: Thank you for taking the time to answer
a few questions. The first one I’d like to ask concerns the nature
of your subject. Your new book is one of many recent works to
address the woman who may be the next President of the United
States. With a plethora of products on the market concerning her,
why should readers select your book? What’s unique about these
pages?
Bay Buchanan: Using Hillary’s own words as
written in her autobiography, Extreme Makeover reveals a
side of Hillary that has not previously been examined — her
chronic insecurity. It is a trait that undermines her ability to
rely on her own judgment — forcing her to become addicted to gurus
and advisors. This book also addresses the efforts of Hilary’s
political machine to remake her — to hide not only her true
character but also her extreme agenda. The reader will learn who
the real Hillary is — the personality, the character, and the
agenda and will be able to determine for themselves if this lady
has the decisiveness, the integrity, or the courage to be the
President of the United States in time of war.
BC: Hillary as shyster or charlatan is not
a role with which you’ll have difficulty convincing conservatives,
but exactly who or what is the real Hillary? What would she be like
if she were relegated to a room devoid of supporters, servants, and
journalists?
Bay Buchanan: Hillary is about power — she is
best defined by her insatiable desire for it and her willingness to
do absolutely anything to acquire and retain it. In a room such as
you describe power has no meaning — and neither does Hillary.
BC: I agree. Mrs. Clinton’s desire to
control others is rather transparent, but why then has she been so
successful at duping the American people? Also, why do
conservatives disdain her?
Bay Buchanan: That’s what the Extreme
Makeover is all about. Hillary has been incredibly successful
at duping the public for a number of reasons. She has a
multi-million dollar company in place dedicated to remaking her for
the purposes of deceiving America. It hides who she really is and
friends in the media work hand-in-glove to guarantee her success
while she is ready and willing to do anything and be anyone to win
the Presidency. Hillary and friends are perpetrating a massive
fraud on the American people. My book gets under the makeover and
reveals the true nature of the woman who wants to be President.
Unable to accept any responsibility for her own problems,
Hillary has made it a practice to blame all her problems on the
mean-spirited vast right wing. Conservatives know the deceit of
which she is capable and the extreme agenda that she hides. And we
are well aware of the success she has had at our expense. In the
book I make it more than clear that Hillary represents the far left
wing of her party and it is they to whom she pays homage.
BC: How much of Hillary’s appeal to voters
is due to her being a woman? Furthermore, isn’t obsessing over a
candidate’s genitals just another indicator of the way in which
political correctness has waylaid the American psyche? Why do sex
organs have anything to do with leadership?
Bay Buchanan: Hillary has the most formidable
presidential campaign organization in the race, has raised more
money than any of her male opponents and beats all her opponents in
the polls. Other women have run for president without anything
close to this success. But without question Hillary is relying on
women to put her over on top on Election Day. In fairness this is
the strategy for all Democratic presidential contenders but it is
especially true of Hillary.
BC: What’s your opinion of the Clinton
marriage? Do you think she gives a darn about her husband? What do
you suspect he thinks about her?
Bay Buchanan: It is a mutually beneficial
relationship. He could not have been President without her and he
has been her ticket to power.
BC: Will Barack Obama defeat Hillary in the
primaries? You indicate in your book that his personality is
definitely a point in his favor. What specifically will voters see
in him that is missing within the junior senator from New
York?
Bay Buchanan: Obama is capable of beating
Hillary — he is a warm, likable fresh face with a natural style of
communicating. He comes across as an authentic candidate in
contrast to Hillary’s programmed appearances and has proved himself
capable of raising the money necessary to beat Hillary. But she
remains the frontrunner and will not be unseated easily.
BC: At the moment you are managing Tom
Tancredo’s run for the presidency, do you think a truly
conservative candidate has any chance of winning the Republican
nomination in 2008? I know rightists point to the example Ronald
Reagan in 1980, but it seems to me that Mr. Bush’s years in the
White House have demoralized the GOP’s base.
Bay Buchanan: In 1980, Reagan had the advantage
of having run in 1976. As for the base — yes, I have never seen it
so demoralized. But what Republicans are looking for this year is a
solid conservative, one they can trust to say what he believes.
None of the so-called top three fits this billing but Tom Tancredo
surely does.
BC: One of the main issues for Congressman
Tancredo is illegal immigration, and it seems like many of the
Republican candidates are to the left of him on it. Why are so many
people in this country unconcerned about this incredibly important
dilemma? The leftist stance on the subject appears to be
counter-intuitive. Why shouldn’t citizens have a say about who is
admitted to this country? What possible reason could there be to
not maintain a tight border?
Bay Buchanan: Americans are well aware of the
seriousness of this issue — everyday they pay for the consequences
of illegal immigration. They want the border secured, the laws
enforced, and they want no amnesty to be given for those living in
the country illegally. There is no excuse for not protecting our
border against illegal entry — especially in time of war. But this
administration does not have the will to do the job.
Since the federal government refuses to do its job and ignores
the will of the people, cities and states are now taking steps to
protect their citizens from a massive invasion coming across our
southern border.
