Joe McGinniss is wrong to move next door to Sarah Palin in Alaska in order to gather material for his book on her due out in 2011.
McGinniss is well known for pushing the envelope when it comes to his subjects.
His 1983 book on the Jeffrey MacDonald murder trial result ended in a lawsuit by MacDonald alleging he had been set up by McGinniss. There was an out of court settlement.
His next book on the Kennedy's brought similar reaction from that clan who felt that McGinniss had greatly altered the key facts.
Now Palin is his subject and he is clearly enjoying himself .
“I am writing a book about Sarah Palin,” he said. “Why not live right next to the story? Unless I do something that is an active violation of their privacy, where is the harm?”
Not true. Sarah Palin has a large young family and she and her husband, Todd are entitled to the privacy at their family home in Wasilla.
The very idea of having muckraking journalist living next door, trying to peer into every aspect of their lives must be horrifying, especially as far as their children are concerned.
My sympathy is all with Palin on this given the reputation that McGinniss has for sharp practice when it comes to his writing.
McGinniss said he had glimpsed Ms. Palin for “about three seconds” and that he doesn’t expect to get a lot of material from living there but he has already had a nasty encounter with Todd Palin and there could be more standoffs.

When does all of this become stalking?
When? As soon as this PERP takes any photos of the underage girls, as soon as he looks over the new fence and as soon as he captures audio!
Aunr Clara went one better. She turned Darrin into a monkey {Alias Darrin Stephens {Bewitched, Season 2 - Episode 37}. We could do a lot worse than send her to go give the creep McGinniss similar treatment. The thought of Joe McGinniss jumping up and down as a chattering monkey is a very pleasant one.
Somebody aughtta take Joey out fishin’.
I'm a pretty tough guy, but Todd is in a whole different league. Keep in mind that two years ago the future First Dude finished the Iron Dog in 4th place, with a broken arm for the last 500 miles, in February, in Alaska. I'd get a little uneasy if a guy like Todd looked at me funny, and I doubt that this Massachusetts pansy had ever met someone like Todd Palin before he moved in to stalk Todd's wife and children. Wetting his pants would be a pretty sensible reaction to whatever encounter they might have had.
It's already stalking, IMO.
Already done so, Mister.
>> You go, Todd.
The last thing that should happen is for Todd to end up on the wrong side of the law because of jackass Joe.
If the Palin family had the option for an extended vacation elsewhere, that would cool. Perhaps the Palin home could be rented during the interim to a Sun worshipping biker dude, that enjoys loud music late into the evening.

A nostalgic reference.
Bewitched?
Uncle Arthur...you’re needed.
In fact, scanning the town I got the idea that it's mostly pine trees and stuff with little grass.
This reminded me that there's this ol'gal in Wasilla who got into a grudge-rage over Sarah regarding LAWN CARE years ago. I believe Sarah was on the city council, or maybe mayor at the time, but this particular person wanted a GRASS ORDINANCE. This is in an area where the growing season stretches from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Sarah and her crowd denied this woman her wish ~ a GRASS ORDINANCE ~ and that's when some sh'ite hit the fan. She shows up occasionally in the various "Harrass Sarah" campaigns that seem so popular with Alaska's potsmoking protohippy Leftwingtards.
So, wonder why this puke decided the dog ought to poop on Sarah's lawn? Maybe he was sending her a message that he (and his funny little friends in Wasilla) don't approve of people who keep unkempt "natural" lawns!
Frankly, that crowd are certifiable ~ the fact they are still loose tells you that Alaskans aren't all that uptight about other people doing stuff ~ but Bostonians are. They should get them out of there as soon as possible. All they're going to do is hurt people.
This is unconscionable. I hope she is talking with lawyers right now about how to get this jerk for stalking. This is absolutely beyond the pale.
Or campin', or huntin', or for a stroll in the woods.

Looks like the STALKING DUCK to me.
I cam going to shamelessly steal that line.
