It’s a myth that Sarah Palin is hated by the mainstream media. They love her, just for all the wrong reasons. For three years she has been a source of endless copy. Having covered her extensively in the 2008 race to the point of libel, they then gave her daughter a reality TV show and Sarah a wildlife documentary. Now writer Joe McGinniss has published a book claiming that Sarah Palin snorted coke, slept with a basketball star and had an affair with her husband’s business partner. Over night she has turned from a gun-wielding illiterate to a pill-popping party girl. It’s only a matter of time before we read that she also shot JFK and faked the moon landings.
This new round of accusations looks like a fantasy. McGinniss uses unnamed sources and it’s obvious that a lot of his named ones are motivated by spite (including a neighbour who had a road built across her property by the Palins). If anything, McGinniss has humanised Mrs Palin. He reveals that she sometimes holds a grudge (shock!) and has even had a row with her husband (horror!). He doesn’t go so far as to say that she once parked in a disabled spot, but I’ll bet the little minx has.
The book is more interesting in what it reflects about the obsessive quality of media coverage of the Palins. McGinniss comes off like a stalker. He rented a house next door to Sarah Palin’s, putting him within 15 ft of the kids’ play area. Palin posted a note on her Facebook page asking him to stay away from her children. McGinniss – to put it lightly – freaked out...

I don't see this changing anything. It's just another in a long line of disgusting slanders.
It may be that there are some people who might actually believe this tripe.
My guess is they are so dumb they couldn't find their way out of a phonebooth, much less in to a voting booth.
Sarah Palin will succeed or fail on her own, not because of nonsense like this.
You're a real piece of work, Lakeshark. Patriot08 supports Sarah Palin, and she supports Rick Perry. Her post was addressed to me because she knows I support them both as well. Your little cheap shot says alot about you.
They hate Palin. She is as anti-socialism as a person can get. And she’s not an elitist. In other words she isn’t one of “them”.
Thanks
Sarah Louise Palin (née Heath) born February 11, 1964. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, was assassinated at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. I’ve heard of “shoot to wound” but “shoot from the womb” isn’t a common phrase.
LOL! The scenario wouldn’t amount to much without a ‘time machine”. I guess Hollyweird will have to get in on the act.
I had that very same thought. It’s not like she doesn’t know anyone in the publishing biz to give her a heads up.
NO way, everybody knows JFK was shot in TEXAS!!!!
The two of you can pretend you are for her, but your posts prove otherwise.
And talking about cheap shots ss, you're only angry because you can't answer the things I bring up about your candidates record. It's not name calling you fear, it's the inability to answer for his pandering to the amnesty/LaRaza wing of America.
I’ve watched these exchanges and I’ve been pinged to most. I know who’s supporting Sarah and who’s supporting Perry, so let’s stop the nonsense. Sure you like Sarah, but there’s a difference between liking and supporting and I realize she’s not yet a candidate.
I’m watching for her decision come Saturday, Constitution Day, although I could be wrong...
Unnamed sources claim Sarah tore the labels off of her pillows.
I’ve said what I wanted to, and now I’m done with this.
I bet she left the top off the toothpaste too. :)
I got it on good authority that Palin went to a crossroads and SOLD HER SOUL TO DE DEBBIL!
Don’t forget the earthquake in Japan.
You're a total phony, you can't answer about your candidate's horrid illegal immigration record, and then you taunt supporters of Palin while you claim you like her.
Yep, you're a phony.
I've said all I wanted to, now I'm done with this.
Especially Perrywinkles.
Q. What do you call a Texan with a 2.0 GPA and a "D" in economics, who failed Organic Chemistry?
A. "Governor."
Cheers!
