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.

...long LINE of M*ssholes...
Whew....glad the “/sarc” wasn’t necessary.
LOL — You just described my backyard today! (Hope I haven’t annoyed the neighbors.)
Hate to say it, but he’ll just get a boat and high powered lens and take pictures from the water.
I’d bet anything they’ll raise the old house one the new one is done. If they’re smart, they’ll plant trees to give them more privacy on that side.
the absolute PERFECT strategy - he’s already shown he can’t handle even a tiny dose of his own medicine - hiding behind the door, DO NOT TRESPASS sings up -
This is exactly what needs to be done. Turn the tables on him. he can't claim invasion of privacy as a privae citizen. He's made himself a public figure
Her neighbors need to hassle the crap out of this asshole......everyday
If I were one of the Palin family, I would arrange a show for Mr McGinnnises’ benefit. Perhaps make up a tantalizing tail end of a conversation as I stepped out onto the patio ( Our Masters at Haliburton will be most pleased), or just wave at him while he is spying on us. Let him know that we know we are being watched.
