I would guess that Weed was pretty cheap back then, so he probably dealt Coke and took a little off the top. That was probably his first experience with Shared Sacrifice.
McGinnis angered Palin by moving in next door to her in Wasilla, Alaska, while he was researching the book. Palin’s camp has not yet given an official statement, but her husband Todd Palin said:
This is a man who has been relentlessly stalking my family to the point of moving in right next door to us to harass us and spy on us to satisfy his creepy obsession with my wife. His book is full of disgusting lies, innuendo, and smears. Even the New York Times called this book ‘dated, petty,’ and that it ‘chases caustic, unsubstantiated gossip.
Even ahead of the book’s release, the handling of the allegations has caused controversy in the US. McGinnis made a deal with Garry Trudeau, author of the popular Doonesbury cartoon, to include extracts in the comic strip. Some papers have decided not to run a strip containing the allegation that Palin once spent the night with basketball star Glyn Rice, saying that it is currently unsubstantiated. Another strip which many declined to run claims “Palin isn’t comfortable in the presence of dark skinned people”.
McGinnis’s claims are certainly headline-grabbing, but it is difficult to judge their veracity. A New York Times blog points out that “many episodes cited in the book relied on unnamed sources or second- or third-hand accounts”.

Todd Palin Slams Joe McGinniss
Todd Palin released a statement late Wednesday condemning claims author Joe McGinniss makes about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin in his upcoming book, “The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin.”
“This is a man who has been relentlessly stalking my family to the point of moving in right next door to us to harass us and spy on us to satisfy his creepy obsession with my wife,” Todd Palin said via SarahPAC’s Rebecca Mansour. “His book is full of disgusting lies, innuendo, and smears. Even The New York Times called this book ‘dated, petty,’ and that it ‘chases caustic, unsubstantiated gossip.”
In his book, McGinniss claims that Palin used cocaine, had a one night stand with retired NBA player Glen Rice, and engaged in an extramarital affair.
