On May 22, 2010, Joe McGinniss moved into a strategically well-situated house in Wasilla, Alaska. It was next door to the home of former Gov. Sarah Palin and her family, but that understates the highly exploitable proximity of the two places. They were very close together. The Palins could probably hear tweets from the newly hatched birds that Mr. McGinniss excitedly uses as filler for “The Rogue,” his book about his summer-long experiment in homesteading. “The grebe chicks have hatched!” he needlessly exclaims. ...
Mr. McGinnis, who has been writing best sellers since “The Selling of the President” in 1969, starts this book by affecting a gee-whiz attitude about his amazing new digs. (“Forty years in the business and I’ve never had a piece of luck like this.”) But he doesn’t get far with that attitude. Ten pages into “The Rogue” he has already blown his cover, printing a map to the Palins’ isolated house. He describes having gone to the Palin door with a signed copy of his book about Alaska, “Going to Extremes,” and exploiting this encounter to engage the family’s older son, Track, in conversation. But had Mr. McGinniss been a good neighbor, he would have delivered that book without showing up unannounced. ...
Although most of “The Rogue” is dated, petty and easily available to anyone with Internet access, 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.”

I looked outside...sky still blue.
The way-back machine has spun us back to ‘79 soon to be ‘68.
We won the prospects championship in Travese City tonight.
You know the one hosted by your belove Wings.
I think some of them are - ahem - from the other side.
Actully I think her title is Governor Palin.
Nah... If I caught a trout that looked like that, I’d toss it out on the bank to eliminate pollution of the gene pool...
I looking for brimstone myself. Really hard to believe this was published in the NYTimes.
That’s what I thought. McGuiness spent all that time and money moving into a house next to the Palin’s. And then came up with nothing “new” on her for his efforts. Just unsubstantiated internet gossip that he could have gotten for free, sitting in his Manhattan apartment.
every time the NYT uses MS. instead of MRS. they show their true corrupt colors, and cannot be taken seriously....
I’m glad I’m not the only one. Do not trust them, ever.
Now that they’ve successfully tanked Gov. Palin’s poll numbers by harping on and on about “fish or cut bait” to the point where her supporters are repeating it, and that ridiculous “she’s a quitter” that so many people have swallowed whole, they’re going to try to get her nominated so that the Demwit candidate will win.
The Republican candidate that they push will turn to a steaming pile of gecko guano in their editorials so soon as he or she gets the nomination.
The NYT failed to ask the obvious question,” Who is backing McGinnis with secure funding for his trash, defacto litigation and liability insurance for defamation and slander?”
I hope the Palins take them for every cent they can get.The publisher should be sued along with him.
