Sarah Palin may have just tweeted the ammunition that Joe McGinniss needed to file a lawsuit against her over the use of his name and image on her crappy un-reality show. Update!

Earlier today the Grizzled Mama sent out this tweet:

Will discuss Fed's quantitative easing plan(print $ out of thin air)tmrrw@ tools trade assn speech;then edit addl "Sarah Palin's AK"episodes
10 hours ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®

Did you catch that?  According to Sarah Palin herself, SHE has control over the editing process on her reality show. In other words whatever images, or dialogue they use for the show are given a thumbs up directly by HER. (Read her tweet again.  She does not say she will "help to edit," she simply says she will "edit.")

Which means that everything included in this clip below, which was proudly displayed on TLC's "SPA" website (Don't bother looking now because for SOME reason it was replaced), was something that Sarah Palin, ex-Governor, ex-VP nominee, and now reality television show editor, put her stamp of approval on.



Now isn't that interesting?

Earlier When Joe McGinniss became aware that his image was being used without his permission, and that his character was about to be assassinated on television sets all across the country, he had his lawyers draft a warning to those he believed responsible.

At that time he addressed his concerns to the people in charge of creating the reality show, not the subject of the show herself.  However NOW that Mr. McGinniss has been informed, by Ms. Palin herself no less, that said star has final say over the editing process, it looks like the author might have an even stronger case against his ex-neighbor than he had against the shows producers or creators.

In fact it appears, at least to my mind, that Palin purposefully filmed, and chose to broadcast, that portion in an effort to further damage the author's credibility in order to sabotage his ability to sell the finished product. I am assuming that it is part of her larger effort to minimize the impact that learning the truth about the Grizzled Mama may have on potential supporters, as well as the voting public.

If Joe's lawyer can prove that damaging his ability to sell his book, and therefore make a living, was Sister Sarah's intent, and don't forget we also have the evidence of her earlier Facebook rant as well, then I think Mr. McGinniss might have a very strong case indeed.

What do you think?

(H/T to Sarah Jones for connecting the dots earlier.)

Update: According to the New Yorker there was more of Joe McGinniss in that first episode than we first realized:

And then “Wow” again. When they arrive back home, Palin attempts to poison Piper’s little mind with her mean-girl attitude. “See, we one-upped him, Piper,” she says of McGinniss. “We had a good day. And he’s stuck in his house.” (Actually, the camera finds him sitting outside on his porch, reading a book.)

Wow!  Has there EVER been a more immature, spiteful individual on the political scene than Sarah Palin?

Well since Richard Nixon that is.

    I agree.

    I wonder how long Flea-boy will stay as her attorney? Attorneys whose clients don't listen to advice have a tendency to distance themselves from those clients whenever possible. Of course, he's been well paid for a long time. Maybe he and his partners can get through the coming embarrassment just fine. Still, the firm's reputation will be damaged - just like everything Sarah touches.

    It's a reasonable argument, Gryphen...I hope McGinniss has some excellent media lawyers, because I think she has been defamatory towards him from the moment he moved in, with absolutely no provocation. In America, a person is free to live where they choose, unless of course, you are within bar-b-queing distance of Sarah Palin---she's an outrageous fraud when she says she's a patriot.

    I read a review on the New Yorker, and the Joe McGinnis part is actually worse than the clip:

    http://tinyurl.com/28dkdtx

    The Palins come back from a day of bear watching and fishing and then:

    "When they arrive back home, Palin attempts to poison Piper’s little mind with her mean-girl attitude. “See, we one-upped him, Piper,” she says of McGinniss. “We had a good day. And he’s stuck in his house.” (Actually, the camera finds him sitting outside on his porch, reading a book.)"

    That cut in to McGinnis for the promo doesn't actually happen until the end of the episode, and apparently has been sent out to all the media critics. I would say Joe has a pretty air tight case here.

I was not surprised to see that, according to these promos, the show seems to take place mostly in her house, with some of her kids on full display. "WILLOW!!" as she walks off upstairs ignoring her mother. "WILLOW!!!" as she slams her little sister's face in her birthday cake. Good grief.

    I watched the snip several times (with the sound off). It seems that she moves from the front of the house to get away from the eyes of the neighbor but only moves to the back of the house where he could theoretically still "spy" on her sitting in the back of the truck looking silly. Is that not the fence that Toad put up to the right of the vehicles? One normally would go out of sight of the fence if one were trying to get out of sight of what was behind it. Not well planned or thought out. Typical Sarah.

    The thing is, it's not just "damaging his ability to sell his book," it's also the attack on his reputation, even if only by innuendo.

    T'other thing is... do you really think SP's "journalism" degree included a stint in film editing? Sure, she's taking credit in that tweet for "more film editing," but saying it, doesn't make it so. (remember her saying she was also "city manager"?)

    But you're right. She's just shot herself in the foot - again. IF it went to court, she'd either have to own up to "film editing" or to lying about it.

    Here's another fun thought: Imagine the fury when she realizes that having made the claim she's got to "do some film editing" it does look as if she's reacting to Joe's lawyer's letter!

    A fun giggle to start the day with (get a screen capture quick - she'll pull it once she realizes the above)

    Well, Gryphen, what I think is that Sarah would have said SHE was editing the show even if that means that the TLC people were doing it, just because she always says "we" are doing this, that, or the other thing, even if somebody is doing it for her.

    One of the comments says that Palin is listed as a producer on the credits. If that means she gets a cut of the profits, then the more controversy she stirs up, the more money she personally will make. The ratings determine how much the network can charge for the commercials, and no matter how much we hate her (and God, I hate her!), she's going to line her pockets from this endeavor like nothing before. It's obnoxious how the system works, and the best "revenge" will be to see her behind bars one day for some as-yet-undisclosed crime. I keep praying for that day to come soon.

    Palin appeals to people who are struggling with a changing world. I know of people who hate gays, in Jesus' name, and are against any sort of gay marriage. I know of people who are pro-life, but have kids who practice "abstinence", and are in a family way. I know of people who rail against divorce, but yet have had little dalliances on the side, and treat their marriage partners like dirt. All of these people seem to want America to go back to some sort of 1950's mentality...A mentality that really never was. Right now so many of these people have a great distrust for educated people. They also see that having an advanced degree doesn't necessarily exempt you from living on the street and dumpster diving. People in general are afraid. The global economy has devastated the middle class. The banking industry's shenanigans has devastated peoples retirement accounts. People who are fearful will elect Fascists...Look at Italy, and Germany in the 1930's. Sarah Palin has the same appeal as the Fascists did then. She is a curious mixture of believing the Bible literally about homosexuality, and creation, and yet lives a life that doesn't exhibit the fruit of the spirit, as spoken by the Apostle Paul...It's interesting to note that Hitler considered himself a devout Lutheran. Luther was an Anti-Semite who believed the Jews were Christ killers...Hitler just took Luther's ideas and nearly wiped out Europe's Jewish population.

    Gryphen, thanks for pointing this out but I think you ran with the wrong lead. The most damning thing on Sarah Jones' post is that Palin's TV show is being funded with GOVERNMENT MONEY.

    "Not only is she being paid for this publicity, but the state of Alaska funded part of this travesty in the form of rebates. Alaska has an incentive program for productions that spend more than $100,000 in “qualified” purchases that starts with a base of 30%, gets an additional 10% for hiring Alaskan crew and there is 4% more you can get for shooting rurally and in a specific season....

    It’s amusing to note that the Governor’s administration put the finishing touches on this legislation right before she quit to pursue fame.

    Government assistance, anyone? I would surmise Palin is also, too, taking advantage of this big government perk for her Wasilla Fox News studio."

    If the majority of this program is filmed in their house then Palin lied to her fan base and the public she was doing a documentary, then "docu series" (whatever the heck that invented term is).

    In the big picture Sarah and Todd chose to bring the public into theri house, watch their children acting up perhaps even doing things for attention then assassinate McGinniss's character so she can do it and get away with it. Todd and Sarah are increasingly brazen in an out of control way oblivious to the personal damage they are doing to themselves and their children. They don't care about character nor reputation but the sick power to control an image. They acquire their character via assignating others with their own behaviors. If any one sustains physical assasination neither of them care. This is how they make their money and in their minds that makes them superior, one up, above and over others.

    This show will be an eye opener as to who the Republican party hitched their wagon to dismissing known truths about this woman out to get what they could too. I wonder what this will do to our country's reputation around the
    world that the party has been pushing to put this woman and her family in the white house.

    I wonder if Joe McGinnis is a continuing theme in this charade since no one put him, his grandchildren or family to death the first go round.

    I don't know if a court of law will give this sick and twisted duo a free pass for they are on record as is TLC this is not a political show.

    The Republican party is in so deep to her I doubt they will risk having their lives, careers, families and the viability of their party destroyed and will sentence our country to doom promtoing and enabling these two sickos.

    My only observation into people who possess a dominance (Sarah definitely has that) is what has made them this way?

    We know Sarah's dad took her hunting at an early age and she participated in "alaskan" and "manly" activities throughout her life. She's never been the "I broke a nail" or "pretty in pink" type. She was drawn to politics because of family friends and her husbands family. Politics has always been a manly career, full of drinkers, smokers, golfers, cursers. I appreciate Hillary's love of whiskey and the cigar smoking ol boys club but for women to feel welcome and succeed in this world, she'd gonna have to either adapt herself or let her true side divulge.

    I find nothing appalling about Sarah. I don't find her racist or mean or catty. She's a politician and like most politicians, they choose this career from the beginning when nothing else appeals to them, or they fail at everything or people see promise. Hillary's always been a leader. Biden and McCain seem to not be good at anything else. Obama has had no other real job and was approached for his demeanor. Sarah had kids young and needed a lucrative way to live life - and - politics is ADDICTING. at the local, state, and national levels.

    Again, look at motive. Ignore fringe "journalism" which always has unfair bias. Avoid writers with an obvious bias and a negative past.

    Read Meghan McCain's newest piece in DB. She's got a point.

    Be very, very careful slamming Lutherans and Martin Luther. I mean, don't even go there. I'm Lutheran (LCMS thank you very much), and I really take issue with what you said. My goodness, we just celebrated the Reformation and you are saying that stuff????

    At least do a cursery search on Hitler and religion before saying he was a devout Lutheran. He was a CATHOLIC!!

    Just because he was from Austria/Germany, doesn't make him a Lutheran.

    And don't even blame the holocost on Luther. His views on Jews were similar to the majority in Europe at the time. Martin Luther didn't invent antisemitism. Sure, he made mistakes (Peasan't War), but he was a more than a decent human being. After all, would you and your family stay in a plague infested town and bring the sick into your home and nurse them (his wife was pregnant at the time, too)???

    His family lived in poverty. He was constantly giving everything they had of value away to those who needed it. Can you say that?

    First time I'd seen that (no cable in these boonies) but the first thing that jumped out at me is that they KNOW just how vile they are. They both indicate that Joe M's book would be "a hit piece" and a "gotcha". Pretty doubtful anyone would write such material about people whose work and life were all aboveboard and were keeping their noses clean.

    And I'm beginning to think she keeps Piper so close at hand because the kid has loose lips (not to mention a foul mouth for a kid that age; wonder where she learned that?) and Scarah's afraid she'll blab about something. Like about babies, for instance. Keeping her in close gives Scarah more control over the kid.

    Go ahead, Scarah. Try to keep your despicable behavior hidden. Warp your kid to the bone. You think your God doesn't see it? You know, the God who wants you to run for office....that one.

    "Sarah is a... person who enjoys life"...you have GOT to be kidding. This woman is so consumed with hatred and self-loathing that she spends her days attacking the POTUS just because he won the election and she didn't. Getting sick satisfaction out of hurting and destroying others is no way to get enjoyment out of life. lA person that enjoys her life does not teach her children to "one-up" other people. A person who enjoys her life does not make a career out of lying, attacking and playing the helpless victim. Sadly, Scarah Paylin does not have the capacity to enjoy the life that god gave her. She is a mean, heartless, cruel, pathetic narcissist who cares for no one but herself, not even her family.

    I was just reading the piece you linked to in the new Yorker. It was a good read. One item towards the end jumped out at me. Palin wants so badly to convince people her family is so perfect and her children respect her so much and then she goes and blows it by having to point out the upstairs is a no boy zone.

    From the article:
    Next, we go to Denali National Park. This time, Palin’s sixteen-year-old, Willow, gets dragged along, but when weather forces the plane to turn back, and the Palins have to postpone for a day, Willow is allowed to beg off. (“My back hurts,” she says. Right. What probably hurts is that she’s stuck in this family. We’ve already seen her mother make a big show of forcing a male friend of Willow’s to come down from upstairs, a “no boys” zone.)

    By doing this Palin PROVES boys are in fact allowed upstairs and this is all for show. If the house rule was truly no boys there is no way in hell Willow or any of her kids would have taken a boy upstairs to begin with and certainly not with a camera crew in the house.

    I am so sick of this lying, conniving, lousy excuse for a human being.

    What was the list of materials 'damaged in transit' to the stadium for which an insurance claim was filed?

    This way the insurance company paying the claim eats the cost of any 'damaged' materials. The damaged materials are then 'disposed of' in some fashion...

    So also too ask who might have been the insurance agent filing the 'claim' if there was such a claim. If the material supplier is self insured, then this might have been accounted for in the submitted bid.

    Another question to ask about these materials. Are there any other houses or commercial properties with similar materials?
    Start looking at those under construction at the same time or shortly after the Wasilly Wonder.
    Or start looking at building permits issued to 'friends and family' at that same time. Be sure to cross reference!!

    Extra credit- ownership of unreported and untaxed property with a building with look a like materials. Watch the new show to see if there is a screw up here!

    Other possible scam- return 'unused damaged or lost-and-found' materials for cash to be used by the finder of 'what fell off the truck. There may have been some things 'lost-and-found' not really suitable for use in an ugly house.

    Large cash transactions must be reported to prevent money laundering....

    The Alaska Board of Agriculture (and Conservation)...

    Which Oversees and appoints the Alaska Creamery Board. Which had 4 members from the Board of Agriculture and Conservation on it. Which included the Creamery Board Chairman Rhonda Boyles.

    Which oversees and finances by government loans the DairyGate Dairy.

    Rhonda Boyles- thrown under the bus by Joe Miller to try to explain Computergate at FNSB. A coworker reported at that time

    "He made some comments about being stressed and stupid and kept trying to justify what he did, something about Rhonda Boyles being on the radio and telling lies and needing evidence."

    But since the records had not been released, Rhonda Boyles supported Joe Miller for US Senate.

    Does she still support him?

    See pages 28 and 29 of What Joe sued to prevent being released by FNSB

    Even editted by Sarah Palin herself, the "show" will be more fodder for the college psychology classes studying s.o.c.i.o.p.a.t.h.s this year.

    “See, we one-upped him, Piper,” she says of McGinniss."

    One of Sarah's multiple sociopathies is her need to defeat.
    One of my aunts had the same problem she had to defeat everyone, even people who weren't competing against her, like her family, and even people who didn't know she existed. And it was worse than that, she wasn't content to defeat everyone, she hated them, mostly she hated her family, but she hated whole towns, states, and countries.

    Sarah's just like that she seems to have a sweetness and graciousness, but underneath she is creating a myth that allows her to, basically, kill you.

    Leave the poor thing alone. It was an accidental Twitter that claimed editing rights! Gosh darn, you negative Nellies!


    Point is she is so mean spirited/stupid that airing a petty snark meant more than her using "common sense" and Christian decency and leaving it out.
    And she is claiming a status in her twit that seems to make her responsible for its airing.
    Since the airing is unprofessional and puts TLC in legal jeopardy it makes sense that TLC did not make that decision.
    Sarah did. Mean, and petty three year old Sarah.

  60. Seriously, what is wrong with this woman. She is just scary to me, because she thinks all people are this hateful and spiteful.
    I hope Joe sues the ever-loving hell out of her.

  61. There's going to be a lot of editing. TLC planned to use McGinniss as the villain through the whole series.

    From an interview with Burnett:

    "We have great funny stuff about the nosy neighbor, that runs throughout the series. We call it the "nosy neighbor episode." Todd and his buddies built a huge fence so this reporter couldn't spy on them."

    http://www.channelguidemag.com/articles/sarah-palins-alaska-1110.php

    And more:
    Burnett on Joe McGuinnes:
    "When you’re shooting at the Palin’s home in Alaska, and there’s that 14 foot fence, it’s kind of hard to miss. To not have mentioned it would have been inauthentic. It really affected their lives. I think they were really good sports about it, and kind of turned it into a joke… As she (Sarah) says, “this dude” you know, Joe McGuinness, not content to write a book he has to move in next door.
    But you know, a lot of people in Alaska would have a different way of dealing with that wouldn’t they? You don’t want to mess with Alaskans."

    How far will Sarah go when she wants to even the score with someone she doesn't like? Let me count the ways:


    Anyone and everyone on the McCain staff who tried to help her.
    Most of the people who helped her get elected mayor and governor of Alaska.

    Levi Johnson's sister and mother.

  63. Here's Burnett's quote acknowledging that Sarah has final approval of what airs:

    "(Executive producer) Mark Burnett has talked about how it was very important for the show to be true to Alaska but also to be true to the way the Palin family acts, warts and all. And I have to say there are some awkward moments in the stuff I've seen, like any family. I'm not a Palin backer, but credit to Sarah Palin for allowing that stuff to be shown."

    Anonymous @ 10:14, I was referring to the original board which told Sarah the dairy needed to be shut down as it couldn't be made financially solvent. Sarah fired them and replaced them with her own lackies who are responsible for all the money being poured down the Dairy Drain.

    Point being, you don't tell Sarah Palin no, or you will suffer the consequences. The whole thing appears to be a plot to put money into the hands of Sarah supporters. Either that or complete incompetence of all involved including Sarah.

    The skreeching harpy from hell has lived her whole life in "one-up-man-ship" mode and thinks everyone else does as well.

    While poor old sairie is taking credit for "editing" the AK fake family show hasn't she said in the past when she has been flapping her jaws that Mr. Wunnerful AKA Nanny Todd, Mr. Mama Grizzly was the one who took the videos? Took the pictures? So he only takes the footage and SP is so talented that she can get on the computer and equipment and automatically has the knowledge, the knowledge and skills to edit video tapes for a series to show on TV when she cannot control the twitters that her Blackberry makes (all on it's own)?????

  68. "We have great funny stuff about the nosy neighbor, that runs throughout the series. We call it the 'nosy neighbor' episode."

    Oh yeah, the clips we've seen have been such a laff riot.

    Whether it's McGinnis or anyone else living next door, defaming your neighbor on television is not only grounds for a lawsuit, but just plain bad form. Stay classy, Sarah.

    Mu guess is that all the "great funny stuff" will be edited out (against Executive Producer Palin's objections). However, the preview clips are already all over the net... the bell can't be unrung.

    Ronald Reagan chopped wood. He also had a sense of humor and could carry that off. This is Sarah's version of good humor and wit. It is no wonder that she had them write a script with teaching Piper one-upsmanship and no boys up for Willow. She can showcase what a wonderful mother she is.

    I am glad they are giving her more rope. Thanks Mark Burnett. I'm starting to agree with those that say the other producers and executives stuck these deals in order for her to do herself in. Can you imagine the vendettas she will have when she realizes she was punked again?

    The Tea Bag and AIP votes are working hard for Bristol to dance. DWTS is going to help Sarah get more attention and votes. How cleaver they are.

  71. I remember Richard Nixon. I cast my first vote against him in 1972. He was much more intelligent and functional than Sarah Palin. Dishonest, with a large paranoid streak, Nixon could dissimulate, and did not blurt out every half-baked thought he had the instant it crossed his mind. For all of his faults, he was competent to be President. Sarah Palin isn't.

  72. Anon @ 7:14 am,

    You are correct about Luther's antisemitism, but Hitler was baptised and raised as a Catholic. Although the racism of Nazi ideology conflicted with Christianity, as Pope Pius XI pointed out in 1937, Hitler never publicly renounced Catholicism. High-level churchmen in both Catholic and Lutheran churches in Germany endorsed and collaborated with the Nazi regime, while a few individual priests and pastors died as martyrs.
