Washington (CNN) - Todd Palin released a scathing statement late Wednesday about author Joe McGinniss, whose new book about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has grabbed internet and tabloid headlines, as well as received harsh criticism from The New York Times.
In a statement distributed to members of the media, Palin's husband said the book "is full of disgusting lies, innuendo and smears."
"This is a man who has been relentlessly stalking my family to the point of moving in right next door to us to harass us and spy on us to satisfy his creepy obsession with my wife," Palin said. "His book is full of disgusting lies, innuendo, and smears. Even The New York Times called this book 'dated, petty,' and that it 'chases caustic, unsubstantiated gossip.'"
McGinniss' book, "The Rogue," is set for publication next week and is the latest work from the bestselling author who first rose to national prominence with "The Selling of the President 1968," which described the marketing of Richard Nixon during the 1968 campaign. He subsequently wrote a crime trilogy and two controversial books about the Kennedy family.

The media is so transparent. The Palin attacks just continue and it’s to a point where they’ve lost all credibility.
Ugh. I suppose that's entirely possible!
I like Mr. Cain greatly...and you are so right about Newt, I saw him at a luncheon a few years back with the Cajun man and he cleaned his clock. Alas, he just blew it.
I have yet to see any Perry supporter give any credence to this claptrap - just because people like you are willing to get down into the mud to trash other candidates, don't try to tar the rest of us with that brush.
Sadly u speak truth but on the upside...it has given her a leg up on everyone else.
Bottom line, McGinnis has already lost.
My sentiments precisely!
Uh...you might want to look through the Perry threads today....lol
A less litigous climate does not mean failing to sue when you have just cause. It means not suing over every little thing where who’s at fault is a gray area.
We must remember how he was peeping at the Girls before Todd built the fence.
Yeah, Newt blew it and I told him that, right along with telling him he has my prayers to gain traction so that he can stay in the debates.
Sarah must run. We need her serious solutions and America first patriotism. No one else has her enthusiam and true servant’s heart. She is us and I can’t say that about any of the others.
Yes. Like all liars, he went too far.
I have deliberately avoided the threads about the book because I figured it was trash. And I haven’t seen anyone talking about the book on Perry threads. SO if someone said something on a thread about the book, I didn’t see it. I only looked at this thread because it had a response from Todd, and I wanted to see that.
I agree, of the twenty or so FR offenders it has not been the normal Perry supporters that have been clucking and agreeing, nor the strong supporters of any other candidate. I don't know who they supported but it was disgusting what they were saying, I only recognized Presidio9 as a genuine repeat offender spreading this stuff as if it were a likely possibility (I do not know who he supports).
No problem I voiced as did others there rejection...lol
Oh u just painted a picture I so did not wish to see....lol
Yeah...the boy is certainly a few pegs lower than a creep for sure!
Yes to all of that....
This country will draft her if she doesn’t...lol
I disagree....they had to answer it...
