If she attempted to jump back in, the media would hammer her over the Glenn Rice story. She knows this. Stick a fork in her. She’s done.

Oh gawd, that came from the Joe McGinnis book. A book that has been thoroughly discredited. He’s the one who rented a house next to the Palins and engaged in back alley gossip.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/15/books/joe-mcginnisss-the-rogue-on-sarah-palin-review.html


(quotes from the NYT reviewer)
Mr. McGinniss used his time in Alaska to chase caustic, unsubstantiated gossip about the Palins, often from unnamed sources like “one resident” and “a friend.”

Mr. McGinniss did in 2011 make a phone call to the former N.B.A. basketball player Glen Rice, who is black, and prompted him to acknowledge having fond memories of Sarah Heath. While Mr. Rice avoids specifics and uses the words “respectful” and “a sweetheart,” Mr. McGinniss eggs him on with the kind of flagrantly leading question he seems to have habitually asked. In Mr. Rice’s case: “So you never had the feeling she felt bad about having sex with a black guy?”

With the same imprecise aim he cites conspiracy theories that Ms. Palin may not be the mother of her youngest son, Trig, and questions the circumstances under which he was born

Since absolutely nobody connected with “The Rogue” seems to lack ulterior motives, there is one here as well. Mr. Johnston’s sputtering career has produced a memoir, “Deer in the Headlights.” Next week it will compete for attention with “The Rogue,” when both are officially published on the same day.


Read the rest of the review, it’s a hoot as one professional writer wipes the floor of a once-noted writer now turned hack.

Breitbart also broke a story about McGinniss emails to and from his publishers. It seems his editors weren’t too happy about the vetting of the book and were asking for additional details (this was after he submitted his final version and the contracted time was shortly coming). McGinniss scrambled to contact local bloggers in Alaska asking for confirming information....the same bloggers who provided the rumors. Good luck with that Joe.

Can you saw lawsuit???

So much for your source Ronald. Thank you for playing.
