Joe McGinniss has an abiding hatred for Sarah Palin. So much so that he creepily rented a place next door to her home, the better to keep tabs on her. Then he went all-in:
He acknowledges that because of his own personal dislike of Sarah Palin, he is desperate to find support for “salacious stories” about her family; he admits further that he has struck out, and there is no evidence to support any of them. But did that deter either him or Random House? No! He wrote the book anyway, and they published it.
Not that anybody at Random House has an agenda, or anything.
