He's NOT an investigative reporter. Even if he were, does that give him some kind of authority?

McGinniss's son wrote, "[The neighbor] knew McGinniss was writing the book and found him and offered him the house."

In other words, McGinniss didnt seek out the house. He just took the offer. And why not?
Has that been corroborated by the neighbor?

Is there ANY reason why we should believe the son of a crazed liberal stalker?

“None of our houses have ever had air conditioning, and so you leave your windows open all summer long,” she said. “It’s the only way to keep cool in the midnight sun because the sun essentially doesn’t set for many of the days in the summer, leaving the windows wide open. Well, now, things like that, that’s got to change because the guy’s sitting right there.”
I be changing rooms if any of the kids rooms face his house.

Not yet, as far as I know. She seems to be a low-profile type. But vindictive, lol.

One reason would be that he has no reason to invite trouble by lying. All the neighbor would have to do is say, "That's not true." See?

Or even put up some curtains!

But curtains lack the soap-drama of a 14-foot emergency fence to protect the besieged little family, dont they? So no wonder.

The only one that said that he hand any "authority" is you poster.
If he wants to check her out,she seems to have left enough personal and political enemies out there to have made moving to Alaska unnecessary.

This was/is a publicity stunt by McGinnis. The fact that SIlly Sarah fell for it shows how minor issues ( Her grandson's father,her ex-brother-in-law) get her full sttention while major ones (her pregnant teenage daughter,the state of Alaska) get little or none,

Even some honest democrats feel queasy about the situation.

Democratic operative: Sarah Palin's 'right' - Seung Min Kim - POLITICO.com

Quote:
A prominent Democratic strategist came out in defense of Sarah Palin on Friday, blasting a journalist who moved next door to the former Republican vice presidential candidate as having “crossed the line.”

“I am no Sarah Palin fan. But on this, she is absolutely right,” Elleithee said in POLITICO’s Arena. “No public official should have to worry about a voyeuristic journalist peering into their backyard and kitchen window every day.”

True, she didnt mind them living next door to the little family.
The home Joe McGinniss is renting used to be an Oxford House from 2005 until 2008. The tenants were men recently released from prison who were recovering addicts. What? No fence to protect sexy Sarah in her tank top? Dear God! Who was lurking in that house watching her children play?

You seem to be admitting that Sarah's ridiculous tale was just one more crude device to get attention and make sure the fans would still jump for her when she says to -- good for you. The longest journey starts with a single step.

I would have rented to the National Enquirer, though. The Palins are lucky to have such a thoughtful neighbor.

No, I don't fall for poor Joe as a victim and hero.

The only point of his "story" that really matters is his contradiction with his son's "story".

They both sound like creeps.
