Sarah Palin deserves privacy from muckracker Joe McGinniss

Very nice!

I see that Sarah is doing very well with her book and her speaking engagements, much to the consternation of envious boobs like Joe McGinniss!

[humblegunner]

Yes, I know. I'm just being contrary.

My point is that all the folks here wetting their pants over this would
have dry britches if some whacko did the same "stalking" of Michael Moore.

It's hypocritical.

[Palladin]

Hah! I bookmarked it.

I am looking for a non-violent means to keep a neighbor’s dog from pooping on my finely manicured lawn!

[Palladin]

Sure. They use these on TV and movie sets.

[MHGinTN]

Are they twnety or more feet high? ... It is such a good idea, someone had to have already thought of it and done it.

[MHGinTN]

You know those dog collar zappers which utilize a buried line in the yard? Well, use the line to give a feed back which blasts an extremely loud ‘dog ears only’ whistle when the mutt crosses the buried line to enter your yard.

[Palladin]

On movie sets they can be that high, and higher. Depends on the size of the studio. I've seen stage sets that are 20 ft. high. Here's a photo from Sarah's Facebook of Old Joe lurking around on the deck (before Todd put up the taller fence):

Here is Sarah’s Facebook entry. I think McGinniss will live to regret his stupid invasion of the Palins’ privacy:

Spring has sprung in Alaska, and with this beautiful season comes the news today that the Palins have a new neighbor! Welcome, Joe 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. Maybe we’ll welcome him with a homemade blueberry pie tomorrow so he’ll know how friendly Alaskans are.

We found out the good news today. Upon my family’s return this morning from endorsement rallies and speeches in the Lower 48 states, I finally got the chance to tackle my garden and lawn this evening! So, putting on the shorts and tank top to catch that too-brief northern summer sun and placing a giddy Trig in his toddler backpack for a lawn-mowing adventure, I looked up in surprise to see a “new neighbor” overlooking my property just a stone’s throw away. Needless to say, our outdoor adventure ended quickly after Todd went to introduce himself to the stranger who was peering in...

Joe announced to Todd that he’s moved in right next door to us. He’s rented the place for the next five months or so. He moved up all the way from Massachusetts to live right next to us – while he writes a book about me. Knowing of his many other scathing pieces of “journalism” (including the bizarre anti-Palin administration oil development pieces that resulted in my Department of Natural Resources announcing that his work is the most twisted energy-related yellow journalism they’d ever encountered), 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?

Welcome, Joe! It’ll be a great summer – come borrow a cup of sugar if ever you need some sweetener. And you know what they say about “fences make for good neighbors”? Well, we’ll get started on that tall fence tomorrow, and I’ll try to keep Trig’s squeals down to a quiet giggle so we don’t disturb your peaceful summer. Enjoy!
