Dear Diary: On Literary Stakeout In Wasilla, Joe McGinniss Can See Sarah Palin’s House!
Big Journalism ^ | May 28th 2010 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 05/29/2010 6:02:50 PM PDT by Josh Painter

May 19, 2010: I’ve arrived in Wasilla, Alaska, home to Sarah Palin! But it’s clear she’s already prepared an unfriendly reception. When I told the cabbie “I’m Joe McGinniss, the best-selling author,” he tried to act like he didn’t even know who I was. Well, if these hillbillies think they can fool this newshound, they’ve got another think coming!

May 20, 2010: Delighted to find indoor plumbing and electricity up here. Took a break from unpacking to check out the new place’s view. As soon as Bristol saw me, she shut her curtains – as if a few strips of cloth are going to protect her deceptions from exposure! Next, I tried from every angle to see Russia from here but it simply can’t be done. Just one day on the ground and already I’ve uncovered another Palin lie – Chapter Five has already written itself! Think I’ll call it “Hoop Dreams…”

May 21, 2010 (10 a.m.): Walked around town today. I asked a local where the nearest Whole Foods was and he just stared at me. I sat down at a diner and asked if the mushrooms in my omelet were shiitake. The owner told me, “This is a family place and we don’t use that kind of language.” I told him, “Well, that language was Japanese, sir, and where I come from – Massachusetts – we don’t appreciate racism!”

My 21, 2010 (10:15 a.m.): The cops are in on it too. Apparently, in this backwater a business owner can just ask you to leave if he decides he doesn’t want you in his diner. Amazing. And the Wasilla Police won’t listen. I pointed out the smokers just puffing away – nothing. I showed them salt shakers right out there on the table where anyone could use them...

You owe me a new keyboard - mine is covered in red wine now. Thanks for posting!

I remember Joe when he was an op-ed columnist with the Philadelphia Inquirer in the late Sixties, along with Rose de Wolf. After the assassinations of Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy, he wrote an op-ed denouncing America as a "vision of hell".

The paper forced him out shortly after that.

Great piece! I hope the real Joe sees it. He will seethe.

OK, this is satire, right? Not really McGinniss? For the record.

On a serious note, the Palin’s better be careful. There are any number of ways to ease drop on a house next door.

As I’ve said before, the Palins should point webcams at McStalker’s house and stream his actions 24/7.

He got forced out of the Philadelphia Inquirer?

I guess that tells the story of the level of sleazeball he is...

from what I've read, he's up against it, financially - having a hard time getting printed...

He's not just a sleazeball, he's a desperate sleazeball.
That means he'll be doubly apt to fabricate. He's already compromised any integrity and has put himself in a box to deliver the goods to Random House...especially if they are footing the bill.

They both deserve to fail colossally.

Maybe Joe can get in some wildlife photography in his off time. I'd suggest a family type shot of a Mama Grizzly taking her cubs out for a walk. Joe, be sure to get close enough to the cubs to tickle them behind their ears...they really like that.

Sad fact here is that this what journalism has turned into, it was believable.
