Well he had a full half hour on Book TV last week and I had to laugh when he said he couldn’t use quotes from Republicans because they were afraid to make Palin angry.

Oooo Sarah Palin is such the power house in the Republican party that just scares the crap out of people.

if you have the time to watch the 34 minutes on-line the guy just comes off as a total fool.

[rokkitapps]

msnbc fleeing? I have already seen him on the msnbc shows spewing his garbage.

[Vaduz]

Had me booked for last week, but canceled when they saw which way the wind was blowing.
Sob stories are a no sale now days even Oprah is off the air.

could be a lot worse. could be “the brady bunch”...

Don’t worry Joe, the Albany Library (NY) purchased NINE copies.

Maybe he can do a coke line on a 50 gal drum?

I love the smell of Karma in the morning.

By the way Joe, thanks for helping improve Sarah’s “Q” factor.

[BilLies]

The Democrat City of Albany Library (NY) purchased NINE copies.

It would appear others are PURCHASING the book, doubt that FReepers are.

remember waaaaaaay back when the hlter diaries were demonstrated to be fakes? seems this person has a big problem with contagious liability.

I’m told they are scared of losing more federal funding if right wing Congresspeople complain that they are “promoting” my book.

Nonsense, they are scared of a huge lawsuit should they give airtime to a known fraud. I suspect Sarah's lawyers have quietly spread the word.

[GOPJ]

I don’t see this as progress as much as it is them wanting to preserve some shred of appearing intellectual. They can see this book for what it is - a poorly written, over the top, hit piece.

Liberals define 'intellectual' as a belief in a large laundry list of 50 year old ideas...

Elite liberals replaced thought with 'attitude' and 'feelings' years ago. If I didn't dislike them so much, I'd feel sorry for them...

[Prokopton]

seems his biggest fan base is right here on Free Republic

Please point me to posts that would substantiate this.

bump de bump.

[lwd]

Him and Kitty Kelley should spawn a love child.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

My guess are the Palin’s are getting people McGinnis talked to recount their actuaal experiences with him in signed affidavids.

Last week, McGinniss' prime source, the infamous Jesse Griffin clammed up hard on his anti-Palin blog after noting that some sort of investigation is under way. So I think you're right.

[Liberty Valance]

Poor Joe. Say it aint so. /s

[Oztrich Boy]

“Joe, it’s not that we don’t want to interview you, but air time is limited, and we think Levi Johnston’s book is more substantial”

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Go back to the original McGinniss thread from two weeks ago about his unsubstantiated allegations, and you will find about 10-15 of FR's most notorious PDS'ers lapping it all up and declaring his garbage to be the end of Palin.

It was pretty disgusting, and quite frankly, the whole smarmy gang should have been zotted on sight by the mods.

[SeaHawkFan]

Never read a Kitty Kelly book, but I think her books were well researched and pretty accurate.
