Never thought I'd recommend an article in the NYT, but I do think this piece is worth reading in its entirety.

When the Times slams the book, you know that McGinnis is s sorry sack of $HIT. So is his book.

Well I guess he had to do something for that advance. Pathetic.

Certainly not a glowing recommendation but why do they keep referring to her as Ms. Palin? I'm pretty doggone sure that she's married and goes by Mrs.

**just a pet peeve of mine

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

McGinnis is the classic "Some say ..." writer. The ultimate hack.

I never picked up my Times from the front lawn today. Another mistake!

Janet Maslin does quite a number on Gay Joe. The shoddy journalistic ethics he displays are unbelievable!

The Mexican Jumping Bean rule applies. There’s a worm inside of this.

Life is so short. I wonder if he’ll look back and regret that he spent so much of it trying to bring harm to a nice family.

I read the McGinniss crime books of the 1980s like Blind Faith and Fatal Vision. It did seem like he took a lot of artistic license with his true crime books. For example, he would name the songs that were playing in the car radio as the subjects of his book were driving down the highway. How could you get details like that for a non-fiction book? I can't even remember what songs were on the car radio on my way to work this morning.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that Sarah Palin might not be the perfect human being after all. She was starting to scare me there for a while. I want a real person as my next president, not the Virgin Mary.

McGinnis is just plain sick. Hopefully he never gets another publisher’s advance, and this POS tanks.

What has happened to New York City ?????

It's kind of spooky.

Joe McGinness, however, remains scum.

The NYT slamming an anti-Palin book??? A week after giving her a ‘somewhat’ positive review of her speech? Hmm, any ulterior motives? Maybe, maybe not.

Actually, in some ways Palin has been treated ‘ever-so-slightly’ better in certain elite liberal media quarters since those E-mails were released. That was such a grotesque, embarrassing frenzy, and the media just KNEW the e-mails would be full of horrid, petty stuff to pound her with. But when they read them, they were deflated, discovering she was actually an exceptionally honest and conscientious leader, going out of her way for transparency and clean government. I think it left them a bit addled, somehow learning that she was not at all the vile cartoon they had long framed her as, and thus, expected her to be. They were really that immersed in the false cartoon/caracature.

Needless to say, they will still always despise her for a whole variety of reasons, but I think the e-mails really knocked them off their feet a bit.

I think people are growing tired of this sort of nonsense. Some lefties will revel in this crap for a week or so, but I think even most of them have moved on and found new targets for their hate. The book is going to bomb and be forgotten very quickly. Personally attacking Governor Palin with this sort of trashy gossip is just tired and boring now. It’s been done, we’ve heard it all before, it’s just not interesting anymore for pretty much anyone.
