She did not even wait a week to slap that bad boy up. Can you freaking believe it?
All of this time she had a regular size fence and did not see any reason to change it, but the day that a reporter moves into the neighborhood, UP goes the fence.
Gee too bad Palin is not in charge of that border fence down in Arizona! She would have that sucker up in an hour!
Update: Gretawire has a picture of the fence. I bet the Palins sent it to her.
Boy is that a crappy job or what?
Update 2: After reading some of the comments (many of which are quite humorous and imaginative) I feel I need to make the following point: This hastily constructed, Dr. Suess inspired fence is going to accomplish absolutely NOTHING! Except of course to make Sarah Palin look like a paranoid idiot!
Joe McGinniss did NOT move next door to look into Sarah's windows! He moved to Wasilla to be close to the subject of his book, and to start doing the kind of in-depth research that he has to do in order to make it stand out from the numerous Palin inspired books that have already been published, and those that are due to be published in the coming months.
Granted I do not know the full story of how Joe came to rent that house (and to be honest if I find out I doubt I will be able to share it), but I can tell you that he certainly did not fly 4,000 miles for the hope of catching Sarah Palin, or anybody else in that ridiculous family, walking around in their birthday suits. (I am pretty sure Joe saw those pictures of Sarah in Hawaii so if such a thing were to occur he would be forewarned to quickly cover his eyes and protect his vision. Kind of hard to write after you have been rendered blind.)
However unless Joe was hoping to conduct all of his interviews with the interviewee standing on the Palin property, while he stood in his yard, I cannot imagine how the Palins believe this will foil his plans.
Sarah Palin overreacted (like she always does) and now after Joe has finished his research and left to write the book, she will always have this ungodly eyesore to remember him by.
Which, by the way, makes me giggle every time I think about it.
too funny. he's not there to talk to her...he's there to talk to the local folks who "know" stuff.....she is SCARED and with good reason this time. too many folks know too many dirty little and not so little secrets and this guy is good at digging.
ReplyDeletebuild that "fence to nowhere".....it wont stop what is gonna happen from happening.
Under her skin......yea yea yea, under her skin....yea yea yea....
ReplyDeleteShe has got something to hide.....
Send us some pictures JOE....please
Will the fence be high enough or thick enough to disguise pregnant looking Bristol coming and going from Mommy's house? Just askin'!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the photos. How tall and long is it?
ReplyDeleteGrypgen- time to take a boat out on that lake and do some "fishing" wink wink
ReplyDeleteI hope she filed all the proper paperwork; got a building permit; built the fence to code, with all legal height and setback rules followed correctly.......Oh. wait.......we're talking about Sarah Palin here.....never mind.
ReplyDeleteGeez, Scarah, if somebody didn't know better, they'd think you had something to hide. But I have to ask: couldn't you have just put up the fence without the major hissy? You really should learn some self-control, honey. Now that temper tantrum is on your permanent record, it will NEVER go away. Not very presidential...
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's enough Sarah. You should fence in the entire compound, build a moat, hunker down inside that monstrosity you call a home, then dry up and blow away.
ReplyDeleteI wish there was some way to torture this woman to madness. (Not in the physical sense, but to force her to confront her lies and magical thinking so that she dwells on it so much and spends so much time deflecting the emperical truth that the obsession she has with herself moves to an irrefruitable pathology.)
ReplyDeleteIs there some way to link your blog to her Facebook page? That would be a grand way to expose her followers to what the rest of us think of this sorry excuse for a human being.
Y'know what's really funny? Stupid Scarah thinks that stupid fence is going to keep McGinnis from finding out anything about her!!! Boy, Scarah, you really are STOOPID!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! We want pictures of that dang fence.
ReplyDelete..and the beat goes on..(fingers snaps, dos )
ReplyDeleteLaa da da dee, laa de da de daa..
lets all follow Bitney & Bailey over for a block party ! I will bring over a big slab of tofu, shaped like a polar bear..
~marlys
Palin is pathetic. Gryph, it is time to rent a boat and bring us pics again. I can't believe the paparazzi isn't camped out in canoes on Lake Lucille. With all those windows on the red house, Putin couldn have seen Levi and Bristol screwing around in 2008.
ReplyDeleteOh Palin. You should continue to build that fence on all four sides of your property, then build a roof completely over your fence.
ReplyDeleteThen just stay there inside with your entire family, until we let you know when it is safe to come out and play - I'm thinking around the year 2525.
How tall?
ReplyDeleteBrick? wood? stone? bamboo?
I presume it's a privacy fence (quick study that I am)
eyesore or artistic?
Inquiring minds want to know.
And she thinks a fence will do what?
ReplyDeleteI think Sarah's entire dog and pony show should become the current focus for the tabloid paparazzi. She can be the weekly cover on the tabloids:
ReplyDelete"Bat Boy moves next door to Sarah. Sarah takes aim."
"Sarah's daily tantrums driving Todd into another woman's arms."
"Piper dying of leukemia while Sarah gives speeches. Trig never leaves Piper's side."
"Sarah's face seen in the smoke from the oil rig fire."
"Sarah gives birth to alien baby. She thought the alien abduction was the Rapture."
aka...Rocky in Texas said...
ReplyDeleteIn a couple of years she will be...
Curled up in the fetus position under her prison cot,hiding from the "evil-doers"
Her paranoia is looking like too much crack and/or Meth Head!
Isn't it typical of someone with so much to hide to behave this way. Normal people do not put up a fence just because a new neighbor moves in - unless and until there is a problem. I think Palin is just helping to prove she has a lot to hide.
ReplyDeleteShe said Toad and his buddies built the fence to be 14 feet high, wow, paranoia
ReplyDeletehttp://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?v=XdqGqG2GSU
Anna Lynne
Doesn't this mean American security from Russian attack has been compromised? If Palin can't see them, we're all doomed!
ReplyDeleteSo, how high is it?
ReplyDeleteA little late to try to fence in all her nasty little secrets, like what a mean, nasty, unqulified, stupid retard she is. With cottage cheese thighs, also, too.
ReplyDeleteMust have a lot to hide. Are they gonna put an impenetrable dome over the whole yard too?
ReplyDeleteWhat will they do to protect poor Bristol all alone in her big girl condo out in the wilderness? Cloak of invisibility? Oh wait, huge, splashy fashion spread in Harper's Bazaar with her own prop son. That ought to keep the stalkers away.
He isn't there to peep. He's there to research. The truth will out.
ReplyDeleteHa! She can run but she cannot hide. Ha!
Great postings lately, Gryphen!
P. S. Gotta say, I'm glad she's not in Arizona. Fences don't do anything but block wildlife and make for distracting photo ops. Besides, we have more than our fair share of crazies, don't you think?
Contractors for fences are not cheap... but I'm sure that Ailes over at Cluster-Fox paid...
ReplyDeleteTalk about paranoid !!! YIKES...
I wonder if we could get pictures and see if the 'addition' to the fence actually meets Wasillabilly building code??
Wonder if she put razor wire on top? Does Wasilla not require a permit? Oh, that was foolish of me.
ReplyDeleteThat was some quick fence building!
ReplyDeleteBut did she break the law?
Wasilla municipal code;
16.33) G) 2
2. Screening may consist of a fence, a berm, or fence constructed on top of a berm, having a total height of not less than six feet. A berm used to provide screening shall be constructed entirely on the lot that is the subject of the application, and shall not interrupt natural drainage courses. To ensure privacy between buildings of different heights, tree plantings may be required to make screening more effective.

Mr McGinniss get out your yape measure!
Gretawire has photo of fence.
ReplyDeleteFence was Sarah's second choice. Her first choice was Predator Drone with Hell Fire missiles.
Then she realized she was not Commander-in-Chief and did not have access to a drone or any nuclear launch codes.
Why didn't she just buy that property besides the one on the other side?
ReplyDeleteremember the "Bubble boy" Seinfeld episode?
ReplyDeleteGryphen, check your email. I sent a pic of the fence for you to post. What a terrible job they did putting it up. It's looking as bad as you'd expect, too.
ReplyDeleteBarbeque at Joe's house this weekend!
ReplyDeleteBYOB (bring your own binoculars)!
Photo of the new fence:
ReplyDeletehttp://gretawire.blogs.foxnews.com/the-new-palin-fence/
Palin says in the summer they keep their windows open cuz no AC, hopefully Joe will hear something good.
Anna Lynne
tawds friends must have been in a hurry . that is one UGLY fence!
ReplyDeleteGod opened the door, and Joe rented!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how the Obamas could live right in Chicago, with no paranoia, but quittypants can't even live in the middle of nowhere without causing a disturbance.
ReplyDeleteThey make spy video cameras with pinhead size lenses. If anyone really wanted to spy on Sarah, a fence wouldn't stop them. Any peephole works fine.
ReplyDeleteOne good, stiff wind and the thing goes over. It has only one bracing line of wood near the top, the bottom should have another one but it looks like they (cheaply) just nailed it to the bottom of the existing fence. They also did not sink additional posts and I know from personal experience those posts NEED to be cemented in to hold that much weight. It already looks "wiggly" in the photo at the top of the page. What a mess for HER if it topples over onto the other side. Stupid git.
ReplyDeleteShe did try to buy the property but the owner didn't return Todd's calls!!
ReplyDeleteShe said this on Beck's radio show today.
Picture of the fence speaks a thousand words. Diva is pissed (repeat 333 times)
ReplyDeleteMan, that is a butt-ugly fence. Looks cobbled together to get height. Wonder if it is sturdy enough to last.
ReplyDeleteWhat is with that big gap at the bottom - is that so they can crawl underneath and spy on Joe?
ReplyDeleteIs that large gap underneath a possum-crossing or room for an imaginary pipeline to plow through her backyard?
ReplyDeletewhat's with that gap at the bottom?
ReplyDeleteWassilla construction at its best! An eyesore and a hazard. The first time the wind blows that thing is going to go....watch out, Joe! All to hide some snow machines! Are they hot?
ReplyDeleteJoe... freak her out more.
ReplyDeleteHire a kid to sit in row boat just off shore with fishing pole, video camera and binoculars.
or just rent a condo next to Bristol.
I just listened to the crap she spewed with Beck and all she talks about is protecting her kids. She's the one that brought up Piper's bedroom, implying that McGinniss is a pedophile. That is really a vile thing to say, even low for Palin. Now Beck is going on and on about Piper's bedroom window, how expensive the fence is (sure, she made $12 million plus and he's talking about cost) and $arah says they'll work something out with Todd's buddies, maybe take them moose hunting or something as payment for the fence??? Is she known for being cheap? The fence looks like crap and we know it's not to code which dictates nothing higher than 8 feet.
ReplyDeleteShe brought all this on herself, looking for pity and now she sounds more stupid than ever. She's is the one that drags her kids into the public eye and then complains about how she wants them to be left alone. When has anyone done otherwise? Bristol isn't a kid anymore and with her photo shoots and magazine covers, she's fair game. But nobody has ever attacked Piper, Trig or anyone else despite the crap $arah spews. This woman does not know how to tell the truth.
My best Homer Simpson impression "Duh"
ReplyDeletePalm plant to forehead, in my haste I misread the code the minimum height is 6 ft :(
Please excuse my bad :(
She could have just bought a Cone-of-Silence.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, what's with the gap at the bottom?
She honestly is not implying she cannot afford to have a decent fence built. She drags her kids in front of everybody, everywhere, and she is worried about the kids. Makes sense. The woman is an idiot. Protecting her kids? I hate her.
ReplyDeleteCurious...
ReplyDeleteShe can afford to build a second home right next to the one she lives in, has an off the grid chateau, a plane in the yard -- but will have to 'barter' to pay off the fence? I hope that was a joke, but I wouldn't put it past Other People's Money Palin if it wasn't.
Yep, jus' plain folks! Bots, I don't care if you have to eat Kibble, you'd better dig deep this week!
That fence will not eep the neighbor from hearing her shouting at Trigg and calling him "retard" like she does.
ReplyDeleteLooks like she needs to put on her tank top and shorts, stick that toddler in his pack, and get out there and do some weeding.
ReplyDeleteTalk about trashy.
Wait... I thought this house was "out in the middle of nowhere" as per sworn testimony? How can it be that a neighbor would be so nearby as to be intrusive? Something must be wrong with my world-view.
ReplyDeleteWild Tortuga said...
ReplyDeleteIs that large gap underneath a possum-crossing or room for an imaginary pipeline to plow through her backyard?
----
Of course it's possum-crossing WT, how else are they supposed to eat since they are forced to shield little Piper from that child molestin' 'litist Joe M.?
I seriously think Mr. McGinnis needs to consult an attorney about that libelous little gem.
This is just too funny, any bets the former half term gov. tried to get police involved -- 911... he's stalking me! VanF's ears melted from the Palin panic calls - He CAN'T do that to ME! Sue him, buy the house! I don't care what it costs - I want him out!
ReplyDeleteHope there was a super xtra fee for the rush job.
Congrats to Mr McGinnis - he didn't have to say a word except possibly "Hello"
SNL must run at least one skit with this!
Wow. A picture really IS worth a thousand words . . . .
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't the whiney one just go stay at one of her other homes? You know the ones she did not report, and paid no property taxes on. The home is rented for short time, and she cannot keep her phoney self out of lower 48 anyway. So what is the problem? Trying to distract from the pols she endorsed losing.
ReplyDeleteIs there a public easement on the lake front or does property ownership go right to the edge of the lake? If there is an easement, couldn't Joe just plant himself in front of their house? Well, maybe until he sees a red laser on his chest. Just sayin'....
ReplyDeleteThat is the trashiest thing I have seen in a very long time. Somebody in that town needs to grow a pair and make them fix that mess.
ReplyDeleteWere they drunk when they put up that fence?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I am a sixty-year old woman, an I can put up a fence better than that - and have!
Maybe the owner of Joe's rental can bring suit for the eyesore (the fence - not Sarah).
One more point, this slander of Mr. McGinniss, that he is there to peek in her shields bedroom, is coming from the clap trap, who smiled ear to ear, as her shield stood with Nugent. Where is that witch doctor?
ReplyDeleteGlad it is a big fence. It's big enough to be able to project slide shows of Bristol's pregnancies and Sarah faked non-pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteThe Higher the Fence
ReplyDeleteThe bigger the Lie you must shield yourself from... tsk tsk Sarah.
Did you know that people take tours of the White House as well?
Oh well, it doesn't matter you won't be going anyway... Lying Bitch isn't on any winning ticket
Is this a Sarah 'gotcha' moment, what a mental giant....NOT!
ReplyDeleteIt will make a great back drop, it is better than that dumb one that Fox uses.
I would like a quality photographer to do portraits of Sarah's favorites in front of the fence.
That fence is a symbol of how dumb the Palins are. This will stop interviews and record searches?
I doubt if Joe gives a ratsass about that thing. Why would he? He writes and does research. He is not looking to take pictures. The fence has nothing to do with his work. They just want to destroy his job and stir a media buzz for the victim act.
The owner of the property might like the protection from having to look at those monstrosities on the adjoining properties. But does it even do that from next door? Is it a sound barrier?
I have to agree with Palin on this. I would do the same thing if they sent a right winger author to write a book about me or better yet Rush Limbaugh to do a radio show next door to you. Come on folks admit it that you would do the same. Lets move on and not give her anymore publicity on this
ReplyDeleteShows what her priorities are.
ReplyDeleteWhy in the world would SP or SP's friends advertise and/or document that she built a fence overnight to protect her privacy from an award-winning author.
ReplyDeleteHeck, if I had a pervert move in next door I probably wouldn't build a fence and if I did, it wouldn't be that quickly. I'd might want to see his comings and goings and be able to tell if he was home.
Now, if I wanted to hide what was going on on my side of the fence I might build a fence pronto.
Is there a psych around to help? She is beginning to look to me like certifiably delusional. The signs have been then all along, but most of us are reluctant to believe that someone in particular is really that gone. But after a while things start accumulating.
ReplyDeleteAm I off base?
Yes. Sarah is known as being very frugal. There was an article from like feb 08 talking about some benefit thing and bristol went to get her legs waxed. Sarah and todd both commented that they thought it was a waste of money. Sarahs friends (judy and kristen). I mean come on. You see what she wears. Consignent and warehouse clothes.
ReplyDeleteBut doesn't mean she isn't allowed to dress nicely for a fancy occasion (time100 getup )
Ill be honest. It is creepy for a writer solely in alaska to pen an expose on palin to move next door. Even haters aay so. Its not about hiding things. It s about living comforably. I'm a nobody and if someone wanted to profile me and moved next door, I'd be pissed. And I live openly with no shame. Talk about opportunism.
People who write bios of celebrities (non historical) are poor excuses for humans).
I sure hope Toad doubled checked the property line, we wouldn't want him to miscalculate and build it on the neighbors property.
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting for Joe to build a fine new crows nest-type tower, or deck, on his rental property above the roof of the house, or at least goes up way up above the top of that fence...just to aggravate the Palins.
ReplyDeleteGranted, it's only a rental property, but surely either the owner who rented to Joe, or, Joe himself, could have a grand new wooden deck built high enough up in the air, like 20 or 30 feet, to give ol' quittypants a run for her money! Maybe enough people in Wasilla are so pissed off at the Palins that they could come together like a good old-fashioned barn-raising, all contributing to the new tower, then sit out on it, drinking adult beverages, enjoying the party atmosphere. Maybe even set up some bright lights on the new deck that direct strong light into the Palin house and give the shrew something to actually complain about. Party hearty, Joe. Maybe you need to run some power up there for a little frig, too, to hold some brewskis.
I'm surprised that you can see the top of the house over the 20-foot fence. My view of the other pictures is that the ground slopes down between the Palin's home and JM's rental -so much so that the rental looks like a miniature house. As someone pointed out, you couldn't peer into Piper's window from the house because the Palin's second floor is so much higher than the rental.
ReplyDeleteI'll give her credit - it appears that she did build it correctly in at least one respect - she put the "ugly" side (the side with the supports) to her side of the property. I THINK. I'm not clear on what the building is we see peering over the top of the fence?
Sarah, your guys missed a spot....near the bottom.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that Joe is just renting, and he couldn't care less. Sarah and family have to look at the ugly thing. And every day they look at it, it reminds them that there is someone living next door who they cannot control. That is one ugly fence!
ReplyDeleteAs for protecting the kids, I hope that Trig doesn't crawl underneath through the big gap. It's might tempting!
At least now Joe doesn't have to see her "mowing the lawn". I bet he's relieved.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't look like a "14 ft. fence", looks more like maybe 8 or 9 ft. And the gap at the bottom? Big enough for a toddler to crawl under or the dog that Sarah said she was getting. Who leaves a gap at the bottom of a fence??!! What an idiot! Her decision-maker needs to step in and do some deciding for the simpleton.
ReplyDeleteGryphen,
ReplyDeleteI sent this little clip to Shannyn earlier thinking I could get this song stuck in her head. It's just sort of a nice little joke and a FU to Sarah. And there are some ' non-white ' people in the video having FUN.
Enjoy.. David Byrne- Don't Fence Me In.

That fence was built by Todd's buddies? How in the hell was the red house able to stand up to a single AK winter? The work on the fence is so shoddy, that only adds ammunition to the fact that the red house was grifted from the Wasilla Sport Center materials. Way to go, dipshits!
ReplyDeleteFree publicity for Joe M's book, plus more if/when he goes after her for slander and defamation of character.
I'm wondering if her past includes pedophilia? She is a psychopath, grifting, lying fraud. Please expose this freak family.
And put McCain out to pasture--we all know this mega mistake is going to be in everyone of his obituaries.
The fence will provide much needed protection for Joe McGinnis. However, it's gonna drive Sarah nutZzz that she can't see when he's on the deck. I expect the Palins will install at least 2 cameras to keep an eye on McGinnis and his guests.
ReplyDeletewomanwithsardinecan - Simply hilarious!
The Wasilla Border fence! Probably makes her feel powerful since she supports the AZ law and can't control AZ. Big bad Sarah and ne'er do well Toad--they are pathetic. McGinniss is just exercising the "don't ya love your freedoms" freedom.
ReplyDeleteHer endorsement, plagerizer Vaughan Ward lost. Ha!
Why would she send a picture of the fence to Greta? Really, why? She is completely insane.
ReplyDeleteAKRNC - So Sarah announced to Beck and the world that they didn't pay for the fence. Keep talking Sarah. We'd like to know how many moose hunting trips it took to pay off the 'buddies' to build the house. Or was getting the contract for the Sports Center enough?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know what part of the house Piper's bedroom is located? Mercedes.. are you there??? It would be rather funny to find out that her bedroom doesn't even reside on that side of the house... hmmmmmmm....
ReplyDeleteMaybe there could be a campaign initiated to mail Saint Sarah some big girl panties. It's obvious she doesn't own any based on her behavior towards Joe.
ReplyDeleteso what would keep joe from just crawling up on his roof to soak up some sun?
ReplyDeleteShe should have just relocated a pack of wolves onto the roof of said house...
ReplyDeleteIn no time that house would have looked like it was located in the middle of a war zone...
Swiss cheese...
Get my drift?!
Didn't Todd ever hear of a "level". The fence ain't straight. The bottom has enough room if someone on Joe's property wants to stick their head through and snap some photos.
ReplyDeleteThis could be called "fence-gate".
Somehow I doubt she got a permit for that thing. I'm bet it's not in compliance with ,coal building codes!
ReplyDeleteaka...Rocky in Texas said...
ReplyDeleteYou might be a Redneck if...
you build a fence on top of your fence!
Jeesh...
can't wait to see the fence she builds to keep the satilite's view out!
In my part of the world the "code enforcment" potion of our tiny goverment would "Red Tag" that monstrosity for a number of reasons...
1st, they would take photos to show everyone so they could "Laugh my ass out of town"
2nd, you can't be slapping a fence up to another fence. (are they gonna use brick for the next level) (the wind will play hell with that thing)
3rd, the original fence is not designed, nor is it strong enough to support the 2nd story fence.
If I was the neighbor, I would get some telephone poles in the ground along the fence line and hang some video camera's up high facing outwards to protect against ied's being sent his way.(be sure to save footage for proof)
Good thing she quit that governor job!
One more thing Joe, DO NOT wear any clothing that contains anything that resembles a Wolf!
Some people have noted how Ugly the fence is and all that. THAT is not a problem though. After Joe finishes his writing and moves out.... Mr. & Mrs TURD Redneck will find a ' common sense solution '.
ReplyDeleteThey will just burn it for firewood come Winter.

How many illegals can fit under that fence? Good grief if he is stalking her why can't he look under the fence or rent a boat and go out on the dead lake. I bet she is going to be gone almost all summer any fucking way. Has she been home a lot lately? I don't think so. She is the worst fucking mother that I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteIf I was the owner of the property I would make her take that fucking eye sore down.
Hey Joe - anytime you want to borrow my SkyJack scissor-lift aerial platform, just say the word!
ReplyDeleteMind you, who wants to see a skank drink beer and fart?
This is "fence-gate" alright.
ReplyDeletePiper sleeps with Sarah, do they sleep in Piper's room?
I wouldn't want to know what goes on in there.
Sarah did not even know when Levi was around and kept his toothbrush there. How would Sarah know if Willow was sneaking in her friends?
That room could be the guest room when when Ted Nugent is in town.
lmfao what a piece of shit!!
ReplyDeleteI predict a serious meltdown soon... that fence is NOT going to give her piece of mind. she's a rabid nutcase.
She claims she is worried about her children safety, but she has let the whole world know where Piper's bedroom is.
ReplyDeleteIs that smart? She is newly wealthy and there are some dangerous people out there!
She does not think before she opens her mouth.
Not a good trait for a POTUS
My husband just saw the picture of the fence and cracked up - "Wha'd they do, get the Three Stooges to build that thing?"
ReplyDeleteWe agree that it was probably not the same "buddies" that built the house, or the house would have fallen down already.
Good grief.
Well, that's just another fence nailed on top of the one that was there! All that weight with no new posts. It's going to pull itself down. Any idea how close they built it to the water, because my bet is the setback requirement is why the red shed is where it is. What a crappy looking piece of shit. Talk about cutting off your nose.
ReplyDeleteWhat's next, a chastity belt for Willow?
ReplyDeleteDoes Wasilla have a zoning code on fence height. Does the Palin fence exceed it? I predict it goes over in the first big wind. No one knew McGinness was there until she shot off her mouth. How very interesting. Oh and by the way, she is almost a mall with the Best Western.
ReplyDeleteThe way that fence is built is like a metaphor for how Sarah builds her career.
ReplyDeleteSarah can help pay for the fence by selling tickets to the Great Wall of Wasilla.
ReplyDeleteAmazing what the paranoid grifter blues will drive some people to do. All I can say about that fence is, "Thank you, Joe." This is better than Doonesbury.
ReplyDeleteI hope McGinness is in touch with Gryph, AKM, Shannyn Moore, and Syrin everyday just to make sure something 'strange' doesn't happen to him. $arah and her family are vindictive.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the big "family compound" picture on Syrin's blog, and I'd like to know what the Palins thought they were accomplishing by building that monstrosity practically on top of their neighbor's little house. Maybe they were trying to drive him out? I'll bet they could look in a lot of those bedroom, living room and kitchen windows from their house. Is this a classic "What goes around comes around" situation?
ReplyDeleteIf she throws a histrionic fit like this over a neighbor, imagine what she'd do if she ever has the code to any nuclear weapons. Reminds me of Randy Newman's song "Political Science" --Boom! There goes, London, Boom Paris, More room for you, more room for me......
ReplyDeleteIs that fence up to code for Wasilly? Inquiring minds want to know.
ReplyDeleteSarah is worried about her children's safety. I guess she is not worried about the little ones being crushed by the Great Wall of Palin when the wind blows it down on them.
ReplyDeleteJoe could just get a really really tall ladder and do some tree trimming on his rental property. Or he could go up on his roof and check on his shingles, the view from the roof would be better than the view from his deck ;)
ReplyDeletein response to anon @12:24 PM:
ReplyDeleteoooh....I would just LOVE it if Rush moved in next door to me!
The creative possibilities are endless....heh heh heh
The comments make me laugh all over again. As for whether this "intrusion" qualifies as creepy, you really have to look at it in context. I know Sarah loves to whine about the lamestream media taking her out of context, but really, when you put this incident into context, is there really anybody more likely, and more deserving, to receive this kind of up-close attention. Sarah LOVES attention, as long as she can control it, even if it is negative attention. But it makes her crazy to receive attention outside of her sphere of control. That's why she jumped on the folks in Alaska so quickly when they started waking up and presenting her in a more reality-based light. That's why things like Turkeygate happened. Because Sarah has a fantasy that she is in charge, and when it gets shown that she is not in charge of something, whether it is the backdrop for her interview (she was too intent on mugging for the camera to notice), or the person who provided her neighboring landowners with a delightfully passive-aggressive way to thumb their noses at their annoying neighbors, she goes all hissy bonkers. Somebody could actually compile a book of her hissy bonkers moments, because there have now been so many.
ReplyDeleteAnd really, come on, if you were a writer doing an expose on a celebrity of some sort (real or imagined, famous or infamous, intriguing or notorious), and you found out that the house next to this person was vacant and available, who REALLY would turn it down? Be honest. I know I wouldn't. That doesn't make me a creepy stalker. It makes me a human being with a typical amount of curiosity and an urge to do something just a little bit naughty but oh so satisfying.
You know, I just bet the owners of the rental are laughing their heads off. They are the ones who have a big next door house looming over them and she is the one building that ridiculous fence. Of course, its not legal. Eventually the rental owners can complain and get it removed, but for now it shows how very ridiculous she is.
ReplyDeleteYou know - she is so deceitful and has been able to hide the negatives about her life in the Valley (Wasilla and Palmer) via whatever her means have been!
ReplyDeleteShe is scared to death of "Joe the Author"! She has been a mess in her personal life as well as her business lifein Alaska and on the national scene. Examples: a son that is not that of Toad - evidence that she was never PG w/her supposed latest son - was a terrible mayor of Wasilla as well as a friggin mess as Alaska's quitter!
What do you think of Toad's putting up a fence - at her behest - so quickly? She knows she has so much to hide. She is a horrid excuse for a human being and we in Alaska have been trying to tell people in the lower 48 about her for the past couple of years. And, I truly think they are finally getting a clue!
She is not what she tries to elude...she is not a Christian woman in any way, shape or form and I'll just betcha hell will receive her!
Nifty job toad did on the fence. Wonder if the roof looks like that? Bet the gap at the bottom will be filled by the weekend-you know plug those pesky remote controlled vehicles from getting in. But then there are those silent flying radio controlled hover drone things with cameras an high tech mics. Maybe toad needs to build her a laser shield! that would do it. Maybe some radio jamming equipment yea that would do it. Boy the local pilots would love him then.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant move by the neighbors. I bet if they made an offer to Sarah to buy their house for several times its value, she would take them up on it in order to control who moves in next door. Absolutely brilliant. Kudos.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, please repost the pictures of Sarah's cellulite covered legs in Hawaii....just for old times sake.
ReplyDeleteGryphen,
ReplyDeleteplease post the pictures of Sarah in Hawaii with her cellulite legs....just for old times sake!
gryphen so true about the comments: "many of which are quite humorous and imaginative" - I got some great laffs reading these comments!
ReplyDeleteamong other things, sarah has really made herself look like an uncivilized, backwoods hick with this stunt. as someone else brought up - can you see sarah with nuclear codes when this is how she reacts to a journalist moving in next door? if she had any brains she would have kept her mouth shut about it. this fence won't bring her any peace, but it will bring others a shitload of laffs. what a fool.
After seeing the pictures, it doesn't seem to me that the Palin's live "in the middle of nowhere" that Bristol seemed to embellish in the e-mail hacker trial. Maybe Bristol should be looked into for purgery.
ReplyDeleteJoe--you seriously need a body guard, dude! Hire a guy named WOOTEN--tell him to bring his taser & live at the house.
ReplyDeleteGuaranteed best-seller temper tantrum reaction will follow!
Your hate goes beyond disagreeing with her politics. What a life.
ReplyDeleteBtw. If someone hated you and was writing a tell-all about you, you would not be happy to have him staring down on your private home, 15 feet away. So Griff....if Rheil or McCain camped out next door to investigate and write about your life, it would be no problem? Or the rest of the Abloggers?
Hardly. You would be the first ones screaming about invasion of privacy.
I have to say that if I was Palin I'd be pissed. On the other hand, anybody who turns themselves into a spotlight grabbing national celebrity wacko, should not live on a lake with public access, nor stay in a McMansion that is only 15 feet from their neighbors. I don't blame the landlord at all. In my opinion the Palin's devalued their neighbor's homes by building these monstrosities that do not meld with the rest of the lake community at all. They might as well have built a couple of pyramids! If you look at photos, you can see what kind of selfish people the Palin's are. They built as close as possible to their neighbor's homes, but left a much larger gap between their own two houses. The neighbor probably couldn't stand to live their anymore and had to turn the place into a rental.
ReplyDeleteI have a place on Lake Lucille. The wind comes across the four lane highway in winter, and hits the Lake at gale force (thanks to Sarah, there isn't a single tree between the lake and the highway on that side).
I predict the fence will be flattened in the rental house yard before the new year. By the look of the height of the thing, it will possibly hit the house and perhaps do some damage.
And after now seeing evidence of Todd's incredible carpentry skills, I wouldn't really trust the house to withstand anything over a 6.5 magnitude. bt
I think that they have blocked their Western Sun Exposure, thus casting their own yard into shadow in the evening. Wonder if the grass will survive that much shade.
ReplyDeleteMission accomplished, Joe McGinniss!!! She could have built a 100' fence and still.....for the next 5 months you will occupy space in her brain rent free! it will torture her not being ablt to see what you are doing on your side of the fence! And you will get all the great sun.....Her yard is not going to get any great sun at sunset for those great summer nights outside.
ReplyDeleteSo , Joe, I liked a previous poster's idea to build a little platform on top of your roof. I wanna see that fence go even higher.
Sarah gave you GREAT exposure and for any of her "victims" under her very large, high centered , yellow bus....who want to tell their secrets to you, You have clearly identified just where to find Joe McGinniss.
The book is going to be a blockbuster along with Geoffrey Dunn's book.
Sarah, you have a lot to hide and a 14 foot fence ain't gonna hide all your secrets, sistah.
Todd, kids......run.
She left the gap in the bottom so Piper has a way to get to Mr McGinnis's home with the blueberry pie!! she can scoot right thru there!If anyone is peeping I think it is $cerror Did her new neighbor go postal and alert the media that SHE was peepin at him and taking photo's of HIM without his knowledge???? Me thinks she is losing it in a hurry!! This is going to be fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteNow that Joe has caused such a stir by renting this place (thank you Joe !), I wonder who else might be interested in the next rental ? Say perhaps, Keith Olbermann and his lady for a nice vacation in Alaska. Or maybe Rachel and her partner. The possibilities are endless. The owner of that rental has a potential goldmine on their hands !
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the neighbors who rented Joe McGinniss their house have hated the Palins ever since they built their big-ass red house right on top of their property. Imagine trying to live in peace next door to the Palins and their non-stop, three-ring media circus. Press conferences on the lawn. Snow machines revving. Planes landing and taking off. Imagine when they built the huge NEW digs. Faux news studio. Apartments and offices for Todd and the children. Plane hangars. All of it. I'm sure the Palins never considered the feelings or the rights of that neighbor during all of that construction. What an annoying intrusion that must have been.
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to bet the Palins built this house--right on top of their neighbor's--to get the most square footage in their house. Also to try to squeeze the neighbor out and make him feel uncomfortable and perhaps force the sale of the property so they could own ALL the adjacent properties, and thereby ALL the privacy they wanted.
No way that neighbor built his house that close to the Palin's. They would have screamed holy hell about someone building a structure so close to their property. There's no love lost between that neighbor and the Palins. Revenge is sweet and payback's a bitch!
Just expounding on an earlier comment, but I bet if the Palins ever tried to low-ball the owners of that property in the past, now is the time to jack up their asking price! Ask for about 12 million for your property! We all know Sarah's good for it.
ReplyDeleteHer yard looks like Sanford and Sons just like I expected it would.
ReplyDeleteYou lib-tards are scared of her! I see no other reason for you to demonize this woman. This man could have moved in ANYWHERE else if he was simply in town to "interview" people. He moved NEXT DOOR to Palins to try to intimidate them and to be a stalker. What would YOU think if you know someone was writing a book about YOU and just happened to move in next door? Come on...admit it! YOU ARE SCARED OF THE POPULAR CONSERVATIVE....heee heee heee!
ReplyDeleteWe had a billionaire libertarian woman who put up a fence. - people could see her enter a building, she didn't get IT approved and had to remove - It was a huge controversy and was a popular thing to photograph while it was there.
ReplyDeleteVery symbolic of the madness.
Millions of people would line up to punch her lights out. Why do these idiots keep claiming we're scared of her? ha!
ReplyDeleteIf you live in that town you better make a phone call to get that monster taken down. A fence that big is most likely not legal in 99% of the country!
ReplyDeleteRead the code more closely, mandatory screening is not required between two single family dwellings. The section quoted is for mandatory screening between properties of different use such as residential to commercial.
ReplyDeleteI would, for sure, see if the proper permits were drawn for that fence. Someone (Gryph.) should file a complaint to the Building Dept. in Wasilla and find out if it is up yo code. (I doubt it)
ReplyDeleteThe story of the Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf comes to mind, Joe you will have NO problem with that fence. They will do all the huffing and puffing and blow their own fence down!
ReplyDeleteJoe McGinnis is an admitted paparotzi idiot with a word processer instead of a camera.
ReplyDeleteGo, Sarah.
It was pretty breezy last evening. Surprised the things still standing.
ReplyDeleteAin't no Mexicans getting over that sumabich.
ReplyDeleteLOL Why the big gap? What a drama queen.
