One of the conceits of literary journalism is that a writer spends as much time in close proximity to his or her subjects as possible. Joe McGinniss, a veteran practitioner, has taken that approach into new realms by moving in next to Sarah Palin in Wasilla, Alaska. The former governor of Alaska and the vice presidential candidate is the subject of his book titled “Sarah Palin’s Year of Living Dangerously,” due out in the fall of 2011.

Ms. Palin took to her Facebook page on Monday to post a picture of her new neighbor and to ask, “Wonder what kind of material he’ll gather while overlooking Piper’s bedroom, my little garden, and the family’s swimming hole?”

I'm not a fan of Palin but this seems kinda overboard and weird. I think she has a right to privacy and shouldn't have to have a neighbor spying and writing a book on her.

Anyway, to what extent should people who live in one place have to decide who lives near them? I know a law that says people must approve anyone who moves into an area would be abused like hell to make sure gay, blacks, jews etc. don't move in but silly beleifs aside Palin shouldn't have to worry about her neighbor spying on her.

after reading the article

“I am writing a book about Sarah Palin,” he said. “Why not live right next to the story? Unless I do something that is an active violation of their privacy, where is the harm?”

“None of our houses have ever had air conditioning, and so you leave your windows open all summer long,” she said. “It’s the only way to keep cool in the midnight sun because the sun essentially doesn’t set for many of the days in the summer, leaving the windows wide open. Well, now, things like that, that’s got to change because the guy’s sitting right there.”

Actually, no it doesn't....She is allowed her privacy within her own home. If she fucks up publicy by all means rip her apart. But she is allowed to fight with her husband, yell at her kids, kick the damn dog, or whatever else within her own castle without a stalker spying on her.

HE knows "what the problem is", or he wouldn't be asking "whats the problem?"

Other famous people get their phones tapped, filmed/photographed whilst in the 'privacy' of their own homes. This stuff happens, it may not be right, but that's what happens to famous people.

well if you do not have a problem with a person who wants to write a smear book about you renting a house right next door in order to spy on you to better fulfill that goal, I don't know what to tell ya.

I didn't say it was a good thing, but when she decided to run for VP with McCain she was fully aware that this kind of stuff happens. And then rather than disappearing into obscurity she's now become some kind of idol for morons to assemble around. That kind of person is going to get a lot of press coverage, some of it acceptable, and some of it pushing the limits of moral decency. But again, it comes with the territory and she knew what she was getting herself into.

What's the point in making this issue personal? I'm sure if ghetto would have run for VP he would have acknowledged this kind of issues a possibility.

It's the way the world works, she has rights, but so does he, free speech et al.

Other famous people have to deal with it, so does she.

Not saying it's right or I agree with it, but it's not very newsworthy tbh.

because being a celebrity and having people document your life is the same as getting killed

I agree that the media in general sucks the cocks of celebs too much, but you kinda know what you're getting into when you decide to be in the limelight.

Name one other pamous person that has to put up with a person moving in next door for no other reason than to invade your privacy, and get away with it.

I fail to see why you think this is any worse than your more typical paparazzo behaviour. The News of the World make this look like nothing....

May not necessarily be "right" (subjective terms lolol), but as long as he stays within the law and Sarah Palin keeps being a cunt who really gives a fuck.
