Joe McGinniss' Book, Slated for 2011 Release, Is Being Written in Wasilla, Alaska, next door to Sarah Palin's home!
The former Alaska governor has a new neighbor and it's not someone she is happy about. Author and investigative reporter Joe McGinniss , who has written critically of Palin in the past, rented the house next to the former GOP vice presidential candidate so he can write a book about her.
The Palins , whose ever-expanding compound is bustling with construction, are putting up a new fence that they hope will block McGinniss' view. Palin took to Facebook Wednesday to complain about McGinniss.
"Yes, that Joe McGinniss. Here he is about 15 feet away on the neighbor's rented deck overlooking my children's play area and my kitchen window," the former governor wrote. "We're sure to have a doozey to look forward to with this treasure he's penning. Wonder what kind of material he'll gather while overlooking Piper's bedroom, my little garden, and the family's swimming hole?"
Palin also called into conservative commentator Glenn Beck's radio show Wednesday to express her frustration. "He's an odd character," she said. "If you look at his history, and the things that he's written and that the things he's been engaged in, but you know as they say, fences make for good neighbors and Todd and his buddies started the fence yesterday and it's looking good."
In 2009, McGinniss wrote a critical piece on Palin and her natural gas pipeline plan for Portfolio, a Conde Nast publication. His book, tentatively titled "Sarah Palin's Year of Living Dangerously," is expected to be released in 2011.

I think their body guards pack, don’t you?

Even the most concrete new development in the Palin family, an enormous structure rising beside their existing 3,400-square-foot house on Lucile Lake, is something of a mystery. Based on the limited evidence in the planning department at Wasilla City Hall (the city does not require building permits), the building's footprint alone is 6,000 square feet, but much of it is two stories. Various sources have said the project includes a television studio (Fox News, [Sarah Palin's father Chuck] Heath said), apartments for Mr. Palin or the Palins' older children (Bristol Palin, 19, has said, however, that she is living on her own with Tripp and paying her own bills with the help of handsome speaking fees) and a well-appointed office for Ms. Palin.

Someone like him moving to a remote place like Wasilla will not do well. Most likely he knows zero what living there is like. I can just see him puttting his garbage cans near his house like people do in the lower 48 and not realize he will be attracting bears to his house?
We should respect his right to write what he wishes and he will respect our right to not read, buy, or promote in any way what he writes. I'll simply avoid Joe McGinniss in all respects.
In those Fox TV interviews, the view is towards the south towards Anchorage and is beautiful. Here is an older northern view of just the original home. I would never want to leave a place like this.
“Of course at the end of the segment all Robin Roberts can say is talk about how this would make a good SNL skit.”
I wonder how funny it would be to Roberts if this involved Obama’s daughters.
His kids and wife life probably in a second home and they should also be looked at legally from everywhere as well.
Why should this turd’s family be treated differently than he treats the PALIN’S IMO.
You’re right about that! Hopefully, the harridan who leased him her house provided do’s and don’t’s and that his garbage will be empty liquor bottles and beer cans.
The Palin’s have a breathtakingly beautiful spot for their lovely home. The scenery and views are picture postcard perfect. Thank you for posting them for us to see.
Young people who are watching the media demonization of this patriotic American, Sarah Palin, will now have a better understanding of what the liberals did 60 years ago to the Hon. Senator Joseph McCarthy when he took on the leftist establishment and correctly identified 160 American Communists working in our government.
God Bless and hold safe Sarah Palin and her family.
whackjob
i’m not concerned if he writes a book with some smarmy pictures of the Palin kids swimming and maybe some pics of her trash (they better be careful... identity theft and what not)
i’m more concerned about this nutjob snapping and doing something physical
I’m really furious with Random House, I’ll never purchase another book from them unless they dump this weirdo stalker. I presume that the advance they gave him paid the rent to go STALK the Palin family. What a sicko weirdo!
Most bars in rural Alaska close at 5am, kinda varies, in Anchorage its 2am and not too far from Sarahs place is Mugshots and the real action starts at 10pm, they clean up at 5am and basically are open again an hour or so later.
He is one weird dude, and I presume his wife is NUTS, too, to permit her husband to go stalk another woman. It's so utterly inappropriate, that it's CLINICAL.
I presume that he got an advance from Random House - and that’s how he could afford this STALKING — someone should also notify the IRS that he’s probably claiming the rent as a business expense, as some type of deduction — afterall, his own son said this weirdo stalker was OBSESSED with Sarah.
