Joe McGinniss is not to yet quite finished talking about Sarah Palin. This time in Australia.

"The Rogue" stripped away the Palin mythology and revealed to the world what lay beneath . Eww!
Courtesy of The Sydney Morning Herald:

 His research - or at least his accommodation in Alaska - made news around the world. "Joe McGinniss has rented the house next to the Palin family's lakeside home in Wasilla, Alaska, for five months while he completes his work," reported this paper's website in May 2010. 

"Palin did everything she could to stop it," says McGinniss. "She threatened. She had a lawyer announce she was considering a lawsuit." That didn't happen. But within weeks of publication, Palin announced she would not be running in 2012. 

McGinniss is far from claiming sole responsibility. As he sees it, Palin faced two problems running for the Republican nomination this year: she didn't have a hope of winning and any attempt would expose her to the sort of scrutiny that would put at risk her lucrative new career as a political celebrity. 

"These people worked out a way to game the system," McGinniss says of the Palin family. "I don't blame them. They are just grifters who suddenly saw a chance at the main chance and they were clever enough and canny enough to take it. The American media was so gullible and the right wing was so desperate for new heroic figures that they basically got a free ride. She knew she wouldn't get a free ride this year in 2012." 

His attack on Palin is full throttle. "I think everything about her is false. I think her claims of super Christianity are as false as everything else. She discovered who she needed to be to play to a very small audience in her town of Wasilla and she has calculated her way every step of the way. There has been an opening for a woman of the extreme right. She saw that. 

"Even in Alaska there were no openings for educated, intelligent women of the left because Alaska - part of the anomaly that is the state - had a number of those already. What they needed was a militant crusader for evangelical values. And she combined - and we can never underestimate this - raw sex appeal with Christian platitudes. The Anchorage Daily News called her 'The Joan of Arc of Alaska politics'. There was nothing subtle about it." 

What followed in his eyes was a tale of cunning and vengeance; high ambition and lazy performance; bobsleds and cocaine; a toxic marriage that saw Todd sleeping on the couch most nights and the kids roaming the neighbourhood looking for a feed. Then young Track was shunted off to the military after the high-school bus fleet was mysteriously vandalised one winter. 

"I laughed," says McGinniss. "The closer I got and the more people I talked to who knew her, the more I laughed. After a while laughter gave way to a numb stupefaction that this brainless, venal, definitely crafty, religious fanatic and self-aggrandising bimbo could have become a powerful factor in national politics." 

The Herald even asked Joe about the mystery of Trig:

McGinniss devotes hilarious and scurrilous pages to the mystery of little Trig, the Down syndrome baby born soon after Palin won John McCain's endorsement. "The story she tells of her pregnancy and the birth simply can't be true," says McGinniss who wonders if the "birth" was designed to make Palin the poster child of the Right to Life. 

"It would be the most cynical ploy and the greatest hoax ever pulled off in American politics," he says. Pursuing the story with him are bloggers and the influential columnist Andrew Sullivan. But McGinniss despairs of the failure of the "establishment media" to take the story seriously. He doesn't believe the issue is yet settled either way: "I remain Trignostic," he says. 

I have to say that I know Joe is FAR from Trognostic, but I also know that he was very frustrated that he was never able to crack open that particular part of the Palin mythology.

Still he managed to bring the controversy to the forefront of the American audience for a short time, and may very well have been the MAIN reason why Palin has moved as far away from the political scene as she has recently.

And now Joe will be in Australia this month to discuss this most scandalous of deceptions with an entirely new audience.  And didn't "Sarah Palin-You Betcha!" just start appearing on Australian TV recently as well?

Why yes it did!

    A note on "You Betcha!"

    I was one of the donors who gave $100 so that the movie could be made and in exchange, I was supposed to have received a DVD and poster, which I never did.

    I wanted the movie to get made, but I gave that particular amount because I really wanted the DVD and not just the poster (which I didn't want at all)that went with the lower donation amount.

    Anybody else had this happen?

    I am feeling that I was grifted by a guy making a movie about a grifter.

    4. Exactly the same thing happened to me. I still haven't seen "You Betcha" because I never received the DVD after donating $100 to help produce the film (which I probably would never have done without the inducement of a DVD in return).

      Now I feel like all those P-bots who never got a copy of "Going Rogue" after sending their $100 to SarahPAC.

    I think the media knows much more about Palin than they report. I also think that much more would have come out on Palin if she had run-and, even if she doesn't run, I think it will come out closer to the election. The Republican Party has let Palin be a major mouthpiece and her secrets/corruption could discredit many, many Republicans and maybe the whole Republic Party.

    I bet the Obama campaign knows much more than has ever been put out. Maybe they will uncover those(housegate/many gates) closer to 2012. I feel they will.

      Dan Rather lost his anchor job at CBS for bringing facts (without absolute proof) about GWB going AWOL for a year while in the National Guard. No doubt the MSM is being extra careful and may be seeking irrefutable proof about Trig, and Todd the pimp, and who knows what else. Or maybe not. But the truth does eventually come out, and in Scarah's case, it surely will.

    Oh what good news that Joe is talking about it in Australia. Thank you for telling us about it.

    I wish he would refer to the Mar 14 and Mar 26 photos, which show the too-flat, non-pregnant profile.

    After 3.5 yrs of puzzling over this, my conclusion is that our MSM's blackout on this story has prevailed and will continue to prevail, to protect the high-level enablers of this hoax: McCain and his senior staff, the MSM, the GOP.

    A ray of hope: if this should become a big-deal story in Australia, maybe our MSM might cave and discuss it. But why should Australia care, except for a brief moment. We certainly would not care about Australia's political grifters.

    I wonder if the Murdoch angle would help McG publicise it in Australia?

      You make some very good points.

      I have been wondering about what the effect on John McCain's reputation would be, if the truth about Sarah Palin should somehow become known. i know exposing her would be damaging for him; but, he seems to be taking a lot of heat lately for choosing her.

      Would exposing her scandals take some of the heat off of him? If the story of her selection (no time to vet) as running mate were true, they could always claim plausible deniability. I think there is either much more to the story of her selection, or the depth of her corruption is even worse than any of us know. Maybe they are just trying to keep the lid on through the election. But I think lots of people will be talking about this, come convention time.

    4. Anonymous9:53 PM

      Don't we pretty much know that the hurried vetting is a myth? It's the official story, but we have some data points re earlier conversations, articles in the MSM, etc. But all that can be denied. Plus all the REAL stuff that went on, in strict confidence, that will never come to light: the private conversations about the strategy of picking SP. Also, there's the possible grooming of SP by the religious right, much earlier. And the connections among the .01%er pals who blessed this pick, perhaps forced it on McCain. (Who, like the courageous war hero that he claims to be, caved.)

      That's why I've been interested in the hoax instead of all the other Palingates: seems to me there's a lot more complexity in proving them. But when you have the Mar 14 and Mar 26 photos of a non-pregnant profile and the MSM don't care, it becomes clear (to me, anyway) that no matter what we "little people" do re proof, the MSM blackout is firmly in place and will continue to be, until there is no longer a reason to protect McCain, Schmidt, Murdoch, the MSM owners, etc. And in fact until there's a reason to dump them. Which seems unlikely anytime soon, because McCain and Schmidt seem so far superior to the klown kar kandidates that I'd say the GOP must aim to keep everyone on board.

      While they work out the voter fraud and dirty tricks that have got to be their main strategy for winning the election, because what else have they got?

    But within weeks of publication, Palin announced she would not be running in 2012.


    Once people started looking into Sarah Palin's emails and how she governed and with McG's book revealing more info, then Sarah figured enough is enough I better end this charade before she has to reveal her finances and answer health/birth questions. But before she bailed out, Sarah had SarahPac hit the grifting circuit one more time asking everybody to send their best donations to Sarah to convince her to run even though she already knew she wasn't running. Then it ended and Sarah kept everybody's best donations and never returned it.

    What a scamming con artist! Either return their money or give 100% of their best donations to charity. Well Sarah did give it to charity, her Palin family charity.

      Re ADN's criteria: Like other MSM entities, they are struggling to remain financially viable and at the same time struggling to please their owners or advertisers, or wherever the money comes from.

      Re MSM blackout on certain stories: don't like it? Go get a job elsewhere, if anyone will hire you after you buck the system. My data points:

      --The Michael Carey video at the RNC discussing the "common knowledge" status of the SP fake pregnancy
      --the Oct 2008 already written ADN article exposing the baby hoax that never got published (per cajunboy).
      --SP's threat to the ADN to stop with the Trig Hoax stories or the State of Alaska ads could go to another paper (email). The coverage stopped.
      --the major corruption of Alaska top circles that makes the Todd prostitution story stay below the radar. The odd police letter; SP saying it was a "ring" before that concept was on the blogs.
      --the lack of ANY response when I've sent letters to MSM writers begging them to notice the Baby Hoax. Not even a form letter. I've heard this is true for others who have written.

      Seems to me the best explanation is a top-down media blackout for very good reasons: the truth is too damaging.

Can't blame you too much for taking money to kiss Sarah's butt...it's a living right? She certainly resented McCain for the fact that she wasn't the top of the ticket and resented his staff. Even Bristol had to write in her petty book how jealous she was of Meghan and their luggage. Please Sarah, never stop talking. No wonder an artist made a metal pig cooker in your likeness. Now the upset teabaggers are sending the artist death threats. Nice reflection of SarahPAC on you - they follow your lead.

    You suck at managing yourself. In the money dept. and grifting you have done well fooling idiots who lay in bed staring at your calendar with fake boobies. But managing your credibility you've done horrible. And really now you expect the world to take what you say seriously. Seriously?? You traded in your reputation (what there was of it) for money. Never stop talking Sarah. We love watching you cut off your nose to spite your face and watching you eat your foot overtime you speak your BS. It's a terrible thing also, too what you are doing to your own daughter Bristol the way you have Nancy French writing a blog pretending to be your daughter. Bristol is blinded by the money (as you so well taught her), houses, cars, tabloid payments, getting $$ for pretending to be abstinence speeches, etc. and is turning out just like you. You are "guiding" her career just like you've guided your own career….into the trash bin.
    Please Sarah NEVER stop lashing out, telling lies and making yourself out to be a fake victim. You've over-stayed your welcome in politics, over-saturated the media with your desperation to become famous and the world is sick of you, your celibrity-ism and your poisonous hateful brand.

    "...McGinniss who wonders if the "birth" was designed to make Palin the poster child of the Right to Life."

    McGinniss is a hero. He included the babygate questions in his book and aired it in all of his interviews, in spite of the backlash. He successfully put the possible hoax squarely on Palin's shoulders by getting Bristol out of the equation and making it about politics. Barbara Walters definitely got the message and, I imagine, others in the media did, as well.

    There are still loose ends (the health coverage emails, how Trig got on the PFD list, who started the rumor Palin was covering for Bristol, etc.) that now seem unlikely to get resolved. Palin is out of the Presidential race but hasn't been adequately disgraced and silenced as she deserves.

      McCain and a lot of other big name GOP Politicians and elected officials - especially those with close ties to the Government/Military Industrial Complex have probably received prostitution services through the same prostitution ring Todd Palin was intimately involved with, shades of the current Secret Service guy who DID get set up with sex workers through Todd Palin!

      There's NO doubt in my mind that Todd has probably been in this business a long, long time and this involvement is key to Sarah's rise in political prominence - despite being an irrefutable DUNCE. I think this was Sarah's side business, too.

      How can any of the dirt come to light when they are all playing with each other in same dirty, stinking cesspool - to tell the truth is to out themselves!

    How come the Anchorage Daily News doesn't challenge Sarah Palin who anointed herself an energy expert?

    What college or trade school did Palin get her energy expertise from?

    What companies was Sarah Palin groomed in to become Alaska's energy expert?

    Sarah Palin was governor of an energy producing state. How long was Sarah Palin governor before she quit? 1/2 a term?

    Gov Rick Perry "is" governor of a big energy producing state where he has been governor since 2000. Does that make him more of an energy expert than Alaska's 1/2 term quitter?

    What exactly makes Sarah Palin an energy expert? Is it because she says she is one?

    Current Alaska Gov. Parnell replaced most of Sarah Palin's closest aides, including many of her advisers on oil and gas issues. Hmmm I wonder why? Is it because they grew up liking gas stations as a child and that was good enough for Sarah but not good enough for Parnell?

      Collecting the DNA seems possible for an outsider. It's the iron-clad chain-of-custody of the DNA samples, and documentation of same, that makes it almost impossible to do DNA tests unless one has the cooperation of the DNA donors.

      And anyway, no one but us bloggers wants this info. If the MSM can ignore photos of a flat Palin 5 weeks before delivering Trig, why would they go for the complexity of DNA tests, whose results would be similarly covered up.

      The truth has not come out because wealthy, powerful people do not want it to so long as they benefit from SP's presence roiling up the

    Well I was watching "Sarah Palin - You Betcha!" on the TV here in Sydney a week or so ago and in the middle of it I yelled out "Wow, there's Gryph! I read his blog everyday" (to the surprise of the rest of the family). I was able for the first time put a face and a voice to my favourite blogger. And it wasn't only Jesse, what was good about seeing the doco was to be able to put a face and voice to many of the characters, good and evil, in this real-life soap opera. It gets a thumbs up from this Aussie. And Alaska does too -- would love to visit that part of the world one day in the future. Sadly, will miss Joe's talk at the writers' festival for other commitments.

    McCain et al were so afraid not to pick a "game changer" to take on Obama, they went with her & covered up what they found the usual way, cleaning up "evidence" on computers & records, but what they didn't have a clue about was Sarah Palin's hubris & fact free world!
    They were shocked at her no knowledge, ignorant ass!
    That's what they couldn't "erase" or cover up!
    Who would have thought a Governor of any state could have achieved election with her low level of knowledge?
    McCain himself has a lot to keep covered up & has been written about but his records are sealed as well.
    He wasn't a "hero" actually, but as many others in the Vietnam war, he was a reckless young man who was wild & crashed planes 4 or 5 times & was captured by enemy & was tortured & did spill some beans. However, I don't blame any human for not standing up to torture, McCain did what most people in that situation would do, but he isn't a war hero by any stretch.
    He gets a pass because of his service. He is of average intelligence & probably was as shocked as the rest of us at Sarah's ignorance, incompetence & vile nature. He was afraid she'd turn on him & her wild monkeys would be after him.
    One thought on trignostics: as Gryphen has intimated, the story behind Trig may be a sad one and innocent people who meant well are involved.
    Maybe this is a reason people made decision not to delve. I'm still for the truth no matter what it is as lies just cause more trouble.

      Uh, this is Alaska. Elections in Alaska since the pipeline are similar to elections in high school. It is all about who you know. We have become a state of right wing no nothings who wish to turn Alaska into North Texas.

    OK, well I challenge....no I BEG every doctor (esp obs) nurse, nurse midwife, physician's assistant and woman who has ever given birth down under to QUESTION the Pregnancy and WILD RIDE publically.
    You are our hope.
    The key to breaking this is to pay public scrutiny to the impossibility of the hoax. There are regulations and standards that would have been broken were the tale true. The risks would have been too great for any family practice physician or podunk hospital to take. Sarah, in her narcissism, thought no one is smarter than her.
    Please Australians, help us out!!!

    perhaps McCain and company visited the prostitutes.
    maybe they knew the pros were underage and illegal aliens.

    My sister in Canada saw the McGinnis interview on Canadian TV and later called me here in the US to tell me she didn't think that Palin had that baby. I had never spoken to her about my feelings that it was faked so was happy to here she felt that way after the interview.

    Hopefully if more countries do these interviews it will trickle back here.

    I think Mc Cain knows that he built his reputation on exaggeration and in some warped way admired Sarah for doing exactly the same. Both of them are scam artists. And not only that... her subtle seduction of the campaign- and especially of that horny old toad McCain himself- was key. Sex or the hint of sex sells! IF McCain were a true patriot, NOW is the time to come clean. Just say you made a miscalculation, an error of judgment in a time of stress and that the vetting was not what it should have been. Who am I kidding? This will never happen. He must defend this horrid grifter until he draws his last breath to preserve his so-called legacy.

    I don't think McCain needs to openly admit what a goof he (and they!) made in putting the 'idiot from Wasilla, AK" on his ticket! It is now widely known across the US and she has fallen by the wayside. She's not regarded well within the Republican party and is now seen as the 'kiss of death' to them.

    That is much the same in Alaska - the Palins and Heaths are not well regarded and have brought nothing but embarrassment to their state. Most in Alaska wish they'd move somewhere else, but even AZ isn't interested in them...especially after Gabby's shooting and the death to many of their residents for which Palin is connected.

    Just watched John McCain on ABC's This Week tell Jake Tapper that the most important things in selecting a VP are 1) is this someone you trust and 2) most importantly is this someone who would be ready to step in and assume the presidency if necessary and I did that with my selection.

    The man is a lying delusional fraud. And Tapper let him get away with it.

    Hi Gryphen! Kudos to the Sydney Morning Herald for giving Mr. McGinniss a no-holds-barred interview. The only other time that happened was when Beverly Thomson interviewed him on CTV's Canada AM last September. That being said, there may well be one possibility that explains $arah's silence of the last 7 days since being verbally smacked down by President Obama. Can someone find out if the Sydney Morning Herald is a Murdoch-owned newspaper? This may be their way of severing their ties with her; someone has the goods on her. If it is, then this may signal the end of the blithering idiot! Oh, the sweet irony!

  44. If "game change" didn't have the smoking gun, then I don't think the MSM has it either. And that's the problem. Until there is something concrete...like dna or the delivering doctor's statement, then this story isn't going to break. Sure they "know"...just as we do, but there's no proof. Hinky pictures, wild rides and inconsistent statements mean next to nothing. And I am not as confident as most that the truth will prevail. I think the time has past, and she's won.

    Well Sarah was governor of the state controlled dairy, I guess that makes Sarah Palin a dairy expert too? Oooopppss I forgot, we're not suppose to bring up the dairy debacle where Sarah hired her incompetent Wasilla BFF Kristan Cole to head the Board of Agriculture because Kristan liked cows when she was growing up. Whatever happened to the dairy incident in Alaska? Anybody? Ferris....

    Hey Kristan Cole, isn't she the one run who ran that Alaska Fund Trust Scam of Sarah Palin's? Whatever happened to our quarterly report? We're still waiting???

      Isn't Kristan Cole a real estate agent in Wasilla?

      Can I trust her to do an honest transaction since she screwed up the dairy business in Alaska and she also ran Sarah Palin's defense fund scam where Kristan made herself answerable to no one? What did happen to the Alaska Fund Trust quarterly report we were promised? I don't believe even one was made public. If Wasilla real estate agent Kristan Cole is an honest person she would immediately make them available. How can anybody buy property from a person who looks like an incompetent scam artist?

    Send Sarah Palin money to her defense fund the Alaska Fund Trust headed by Kristan Cole and she will send you a quarterly report.

    We did and she didn't!

    Send SarahPac your best donations to convince Sarah Palin to run for president.

    We did and she didn't and she kept our money anyway.

      The Sarah Palin Scam pattern trickled down to Bristol Palin.

      Pay money to Bristol Palin and she will tell your daughters about abstinence and to refrain from sex. Something Bristol swore she would abstain from until she gets married. Pay her speaking fees and hear her worldly abstinence views.

      We did and she didn't abstain.

      There is a Sarah Palin pattern developing!

      Bristol, do we get a refund?

      I doubt that scams are refundable but it doesn't hurt to ask.

      I wonder if Track paid to hear Bristol's abstinence speech. I guess Bristol's speech wasn't that effective seeing that Track got the pastor's virgin daughter pregnant and then had to marry her.

      Runs in the family; son like mother and father and like grandma Sally and grandpa Chuck as well.

      Sarah, Todd, Track, Bristol and Willow, I'm curious, do they sell condoms in Wasilla?

    "It would be the most cynical ploy and the greatest hoax ever pulled off in American politics."

    That's why the MSM won't touch the Trig hoax? I still don't get it. Was McCain so powerful that he could make the media back off reporting on Sarah and her family's horrible truth?

    CBJ may the the next best hope for cracking the TriG Code.
    Physicians don't give up hospital privileges, because that is a big chunk of their income, especially surgeons and ObGyns.

    Something happened shortly after Trig came to Wasilla that caused her to get kicked out of the hospital, or forced to resign her privilege.

    Physicians don't have privacy rights like patients do. It has been 4 years of her having had her practice and income knocked way down, she may be willing to talk to someone or as least to point to where the body is buried.
