It’s been a few days since the Palins learned Joe McGinniss moved in next door. Love thy neighbor as thyself, then build a fence.
“Fences make good neighbors,” promised her Facebook blog. Not sure at which of the five colleges Palin studied Robert Frost’s Mending Wall, but I think she missed the point. Perhaps it was the, “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall” part.
Within a few hours Sarah had launched a “Joe The Stalker/Pervert” campaign. Glenn Beck called for a boycott of Random House publishing, and Random House held their ground. The Paliban swarmed with comments of “stalker”, “reload”, “let’s burn it to the ground”, and “get ’em, Todd”. The following morning the Palins super-sized their fence. The “waterin’ hole” must be defended.
Joe the Neighbor should have told Todd he was writing a book about Russia and heard he could research from his porch. He didn’t.
But why the outrage now?
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?
The Palins themselves rented the home McGinnis is staying in for six months in 2009, but weren’t interested in purchasing it. They didn’t want to spend the money. Last October they were “done with the house”. During the election, the Secret Service guarded the Palin home from the backyard now occupied by Mr. McGinnis. Here’s a hint, Sarah – if you want to dictate who lives in the house, you should have probably bought it first.
It’s predictable Palin.
Sarah has a habit of shooting down hill. One of my daughter’s friends has a black eye from shooting down hill while bear hunting. It’s not just a proverbial lesson, it’s a literal one.
Last week, she attended a funeral with her youngest daughter. I thought she used Piper as a “human shield“. Sarah validated my metaphor with her attack on Joe McGinnis. She evoked provocative images of herself, then accused a respected journalist of “peering” at her young daughter. “I’m hot! He’s a pervert!”
Ask David Letterman how accusations of pedophilia worked out. Initially, Dave looked like he’d gone too far with a tasteless joke. But her strike back about having to protect her fourteen year old daughter from David Letterman? No one was buying her manufactured outrage. She quit three weeks later.
This week, the New York Times quoted Todd Palin, “What goes around comes around”.
I’m looking forward to Joe McGinniss’s book.
Oxford house, hmm. These darn facts just keep rearin’ up.
When Sarah Palin brought her pies over to the ex-prisoners, did she point out that little Piper’s bedroom window was facing their house’s deck?

Re: Todd’s comment “What goes around comes around”. We can only hope so!!
I’m also not ready to accept that her daughter’s bedroom window is where Sarah says it is as a result of the constant self-serving lying.

It shows, without a doubt, that palin has a deep seated hatred and prejudice against the MSM and liberal journalists.
The next time she criticizes the media she should be reminded of her extreme reaction to Joe McGinniss.
This is an out of control reaction to a neighbor.
Methinks she has something to hide.
Her version of him as a pervert is disgusting and again an over reaction.
Her telling the world where her daughter slept was an act or irresponsible parenting. She is now a wealthy woman and there are dangerous people in this world. Who would do something like that to a child? SP for her ego!!!

A new Wrinkle has been added to the already hilarious story of a book writer moving to Palin’s backyard, to stare at them, naked: “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.” Even worse, Oxford! They were probably academic communist liberals, just naked all the time. [Shannyn Moore] […]

So doesn’t Wasilla have laws regarding pulling special permits, and height allowances? WTF? Why does she get away with this crap?
And as for her “hasbeen Toad” building the fence, I hope nobody is thinking of hiring him for any construction type work….
That fence is a joke and rediculous….

To answer your first question Dan NO there aren’t any hard and fast permit rules for the city of Wasilla. Why? (this will answer your second question as to how she gets away with it) Because $arah did away with then need for those pesky permits when she was mayor…just before she started building that modest home by the “watering hole”.

Question: when is little Piper ever home in that bedroom ??? The human sheild is always front and center wearing flip flops to black tie events.
And for this attention whore to start shout “privacy!” after shopping a reality show about her family, after parading your unwed pregnant daughter and her baby daddy across the national stage for her benefit, to pimp her daughter out to continue this abstinence bit….Good lord the list goes on and on….
Now shouting ‘privacy!’ seems alot like her other ‘outrages’….fake.
Shannyn, are you covering the SC Nikki Haley story? She is a Palin endorsed candidate for Gov. Looks like fitsnews.com published a mini list of late night, hours-long phone calls with this man that Haley says she ‘barely knew’. 700 calls in all.
She is yet another Palin in sheeps clothing….
By: Shelly Stone on May 28, 2010

With all their money I would think they would just hire a professional to do it…. But I guess since Toad is not doing anything but watching her rug rats while she makes serious bank, he has time to do some fence building.

The fact that they have all that cash and don’t just move and buy up property surrounding them tells us of SP’s addiction to the media. She is as bad as Britney Spears or Paris Hilton. Do you remember PH stealing her X rated video and making a half a’d attempt to get away while being pursued and how much ink it got her? SP’s as bad. I don’t click on ADN stories with her name.

Just saw the fence from the other side on ABC. That is SO unstable.
My neighbor recently put up a new fence between us. Because he has a pool and the new city codes require fences around pools to be raised to 8 feet, he had to put heavy metal extenders on the metal posts to bring them up to 8 feet so he could run a third horizontal brace. But because in Palin’s case the posts are on her neighbor’s side, Palin couldn’t do that. So she just had her minions (love to see the photo of “Todd and his buddies” doing this, snark) staple the new boards to the old, going much higher than 8 feet. The top horizontal board doesn’t actually anchor to any post. That has to be some kind of violation. It’s a safety hazard. Might fall on giddy giggling Trig or Piper when she’s down there peeping through the hole they left for her.
Seriously, if she wanted to do this, why didn’t she put up a new, proper fence 6″ inside her own property line?

Had she simply met the man, asked him to keep his distance, and hopped back on her plane to her paid nonsense speeches, this would be a non-issue. But Silly Sarah never misses a chance to overreact, have her team write up a ridiculous Facebook paragraph, and make the news cycle. She is becoming a cartoon character…a true legend in her own puny mind.

I don’t get it.
What’s with the hump in the fence? At the bottom. You could easily crawl under that fence. In what way is this privacy?
If I wanted to spy on Palin, I’d just stand on the roof of the house. I think I’d still be able to see plenty that way.
By: mlaiuppa on May 28, 2010

I’m going to take a guess and say the code for fence height is 6 feet in Wasilla. This is almost standard in all parts of the US. One can get a variance for height from there city if the neighboring property owner agree, and then only sometimes. Other than that a variance is only given if a freeway, train track, gas station or a clear and reasonable disturbance is next to the property. Ones feeling about there neighbor are not considered reasonable.
I would think the lady that owns the rental property would send the Palins a letter requesting the fence be lowered to at least the code height. To not do so now may result in a loss of any challenge to the fence at a latter date due to time.
Does anyone know what the code height in Wasilla is for a residential fence?
By: peter on May 28, 2010
at 8:46 am
The hump is for entrance to hell.
The code does not apply in the valley, it is a free-for-all.
The purpose of the fence is probably to cut down the view in case pain drug hypnosis (PDH) carries into the living room and someone witnesses the way the Palin’s roll.

Thank God we have you Alaskan bloggers doing such a wonderful fact-finding job when it comes to the Palins. So little would be known about them if it were not for you folks. And, Americans do need to know about the lies and hatred they spew and incite. (Todd is just as guilty obviously as is Sarah! And, they are teaching Bristol to lie about her life publicly!)
Has anyone noticed that the ADN is not printing negative Letters to the Editor concerning this latest fiasco on the dead lake? Palin or Parnell influence?
Keep up the good work – Mudflats, Shannon and Immoral Majority!

Phip said on his blog that the basemant was used as a meth lab. Where I live if they find a meth house, you have to get a HazMat team to come in and clean it up or it is comdemed,. Did a HazMat team clean it up, that is very dangerous for someone to live there if it wasn’t cleaned. This presents a lot of intriguing questions. Who,What,Where and When????

OMG, Knee Jerk Cera P and Tawd. , emphasis on the jerk . Continues her Legacy and Journey to the Dark Side. A bit misguided I would say.
What a missed opportunity to take the “High Road ” and simply be a welcoming neighbor .
Welcome to the neighborhood Joe ? . (What a great way to set a postive example for our children .) Hate your neighbor “Hate Baby Hate”.

I wonder if Tawd has reflected on the irony of his overused statement as it applies to his and Cera’s ridiculous behavior “what goes around comes around” .?
It appears to me that the palin’s are gradually coming apart at the seams . Cera is certainly losing her grip and is showing signs of being more irrational and out of control . She has to be the center of attention at all costs and at everyone else’s expense. She will not be ignored !!!!! Patience ,remember “What goes around comes around”

Palin’s insinuation of pedophilia via FB is yet another wild over reaction for someone trying to convince electorate she’s suited for POTUS. The biggest threat to Palin’s daughters is Sarah/Todd, who from day one of RNC 2008 have presented them as sexual objects, as Sarah herself conjuring up images of lawn mowing in tank top and shorts, to the “re-virginized” Bristol on Oprah, to false charges of intended “gang rape” of Willow (before Letterman feud) Thanks to the Palin’s towering intellect, the world knows what side of the home Piper’s bedroom windows are (w/ pics and vids) in their isolated, wooded home w/questionable security (leaves windows open all summer) The Palin’s are displaying stunning idiocy, reflexive childishness, and are close to paranoid delusional!

Looks like Sarah is spiffing up for Joe the Author. I just saw hilarious pictures of Sarah at the Belmont. Either she has had major duty surgery on her headlights or is wearing the bra she wore when she was two weeks pregnant with Trig.
Maybe she’s trolling for a new mate. Todd is beginning to look more and more like a cardboard cut out.

Just some food for thought…
Joe McGinniss (Palin’s summer guest) was the man assigned by Global Mgt. Team to write book (white-wash) covering up The McDonald-Fort Bragg Drug Smuggling Case, involving massive heroin trade within U.S. military during Vietnam War in his “The Selling of The President” which gave him icon status! Joe McGinnis is the man who helped “paper over” 10yrs of U.S. Gov’t drug smuggling!
So…if Joe doesn’t “dig up any more dirt” on the Palin’s…there MUST NOT BE ANY?!? Sure. The whole “fence-gate” saga is yet another well executed PsyOp (disinfo/distraction) for the masses. Don’t you see that Sarah L. Palin is Global Mgt. Team GO TO DISTRACTION? Palin’s primary role when she first emerged was to cover for Rothschild agents Bernake & Paulson while they looted U.S. Treasury – see SITREP (SP003) at end of Anatomy of Sarah L. Palin…
