Too bad to put in a life's work and have something creepy that you did be the #1 thing many or most people attach to your name when they see that you died.

For his everlasting sake, I hope he got off of the path he was on to repent and make peace with God.

May God have mercy on your soul and your rest be peaceful, Mr. McGinnis.

Yeah, whatta author. Just compile all the ludicrous rumors and accusations concocted by deranged, Palin-hating Alaskan bloggers, and compile them as part of a ‘biography.’

I still wish Palin had sued him. But these things seem to be no-win situations when you’re a public figure. Just benefits the slimeball author in the end. I don’t recall, but I don’t think Nancy Reagan sued when Kitty Kelley wrote that similar, smear-filled biography (in which she claimed Nancy Reagan slept with Frank Sinatra when he made visits to the White House, among other things).

Probably the work of that dastardly Mitt Romney. He has a track record of going around and giving people cancer.

Yeah, I’m sure this little shrew got some sick, personal payoff via praise at leftist cocktail parties - but I still predict that 40 years from now there will be thousands of journalistas in rocking chairs, regretting how they completely threw away their careers by protecting the man who ultimately destroyed them and their lifestyle of the day; each will wonder why they were so blind and how they could have stood out and made a difference. They will have seen how they sold their souls for a trip to Hawaii.

I’ll but a copy when it’s down to a penny on Abebooks and keep it with my emergency TP supplies.

Karma? How silly.

I disliked the guy, too, but my father was the best person who ever walked the earth and died at age 70. No Karma there.

"No comment."

So, uh... what was the cause of death? Lead poisoning?

Who knows what he would have found if he devoted the time to digging into Obama’s life.

If only 10% of those who call themselves investigative journalists had spent only 20% of their time vetting Obama and digging in to his past, that cockroach never would have been elected to anything...including dog catcher.

We may be rid of him and his minions at some point in the future but the real enemy is the MSM They will do it all over again.

Lets not forget that NBC sent washed up Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff up to Anchorage to snoop around. He found nothing newsworthy and came home.

Heck, the LA Times and several other major papers sent up slews of legit reporters to Alaska, each of them salivating to find some dirt on Palin. They managed to interview every person whose path ever crossed with Palin’s, no matter how minor, from elementary school to college to her governorship... and found absolutely nothing.

But gee whiz, somehow McGinniss goes up to Alaska, and brings back an (insane) story that Palin is some kind of racist, adulterous, dopehead crack-whore!

I thought that is who he was.

I’ve read several obits of him and not a single one mentioned his Palin writings.

Had he found something important, he may have had an even shorter life.
