Joe McGinniss Engages Sarah Palin Via Twitter as Manuscript Controversy Plays Out
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailySarah Palin's cybermessenger, Rebecca Mansour, likes to tweet. In doing so lately, she's contributed to a new storyline involving her boss and two writers intent upon telling tales about her. On Feb. 11, she tweeted Joe McGinniss, the author who for a time lived next door to Palin's Alaska home to work on a book about the 2008 vice presidential candidate. The tweet said: "@joemcginniss have you taken to cyber stalking now that you're no longer living next door to @SarahPalinUSA? #creepy" Earlier that same day, McGinniss had responded to one of Mansour's tweets that said "Praying for the ...
As Governor, Palin Allegedly Told Aide: 'I Hate This Damn Job'
By Tom Kavanagh - Politics DailyShortly before resigning as governor of Alaska in 2009 -- about halfway through her four-year term -- Sarah Palin allegedly e-mailed a colleague saying, "I hate this damn job." That's one of the juicier allegations in a new book being written by one of Palin's top aides, which was leaked to the press over the weekend. (How the manuscript was disseminated has created a mini-tempest of its own, centering on another author, Joe McGinniss, who is also working on a book about the 2008 vice presidential candidate and conservative firebrand.) One chapter of the draft manuscript by Frank Bailey and ...
Critics: Reality Show Is Great for Palin, Not Viewers
By Mara Gay - AOL News
(Nov. 10) -- She may cozy up to grizzlies in the wild, but Sarah Palin is no Snooki. She could be, critics say, but her new reality show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska," just isn't as compelling as the maniacally watchable woman herself, a personality Americans are desperate to know. After previewing clips from the eight-week special, set to air on TLC at 10 p.m. Sunday, most critics are disappointed. They say the footage of the former Alaska governor scaling peaks with her husband, Todd, and icing cupcakes with her youngest daughter is great for the Palin brand but too scripted and polished to be ...
In New Reality Show, Sarah Palin Complains About Lack of Privacy
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 4) -- It has been said that good fences make good neighbors, but what about reality television show crews? In the opening minutes of her new reality show, Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, take TLC crews for "Sarah Palin's Alaska" inside their Wasilla home, where they complain about how a new neighbor has infringed on their privacy. "Our behavior certainly has changed this summer because of this new neighbor," the former governor says before cameras cut to shot of the man in question, a writer who resides just on the other side of a 14-foot fence erected by "Todd and his buddies," as ...
Sarah Palin's Unwanted Neighbor, Author Joe McGinness, Leaving Alaska
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyJoe McGinniss, the best-selling author who moved in next door to Sarah Palin to get the scoop for a book he is writing about her, is packing it in after three-and-a-half months in Wasilla. McGinniss said he's leaving his rental home on Sunday, satisfied that he didn't have unpleasant encounters with anyone in Wasllla, except perhaps Sarah Palin's husband, Todd. He said the locals were for the most part willing to talk about their former governor and mayor, and offered him small gifts, ranging from blueberry pies to handguns, the Associated Press reported Saturday. His arrival in May inspired ...
Sarah Palin: New Ovals for the Office?
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailySarah Palin's political endorsements are getting plenty of publicity after Tuesday's primary elections. But surf the Web this week and you'll find plenty more about the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate. Like, are those truly her tatas? You can even vote on it over at the Huffington Post. And what about the writer guy who moved in next door in Wasilla? Believe me, I've got views on boobs and I clearly don't mind sharing them. Plus, I'm a journalist who doesn't mind writing about Sarah Palin. Of course I follow her on Facebook and Twitter! But I don't give a ...
Rush Limbaugh's Wedding to Feature Uninvited Guest
By Paul Wachter - Politics DailyFirst, it was the wonderfully cheeky journalist Joe McGinniss, renting a house next door to Sarah Palin's home. Now Gawker's targeting another right-wing darling, Rush Limbaugh. The pill-popping radio host is getting married Sunday in a "super-secret ceremony" at his Palm Beach home (to a woman 26 years his junior) and Gawker rented a plane to fly a banner over the proceedings. The website is seeking reader input on what the banner should say. Best entry so far: "BLONDE TROPHIES 4, NOBEL 0 -- LOVE GAWKER." ...
Sarah Palin's Neighborly Author: I'm No Stalker
By Mara Gay - AOL News(June 1) -- Author Joe McGinniss says Sarah Palin "unleashed the hounds of hell" on him when he moved next door to Palin's home in Alaska to write a book about the former governor. McGinniss said he has been unfairly lambasted as a "creep" and a Peeping Tom since he moved in. "Creepy is as creepy does," he said today on NBC's "Today" show. "If I lived here and did something creepy, if I did what Sarah Palin is suggesting, that I moved here because I had some desire to do, that would be creepy." Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy McGinniss said he did ...
Opinion: Joe McGinniss, Tear Down That Wall!
By Paul Wachter - AOL News(May 27) -- Journalist Joe McGinniss has drawn fire for renting a house next to Sarah Palin's as he writes a book about the former vice presidential candidate. Palin herself is leading the charge on her Facebook page, where she alludes to Robert Frost's 1915 poem "Mending Wall," which features the refrain "good fences make good neighbors." And although Palin completely misses the point of the poem -- which is actually anti-fence -- it's worth pointing out that this is hardly the first time McGinniss' journalistic ethics have been questioned. In fact, one journalist, The New Yorker's Janet ...
