Sarah Palin builds a giant fence

A reporter moves in next door, and up goes the wall

Best-selling author Joe McGinnis is working on a new book about Republican sweetheart Sarah Palin—so he rented the house next to hers in Wasilla, Alaska. Palin is none too thrilled. McGinnis has already written a pretty nasty magazine piece about the failed vice-presidential candidate, and when she noticed him on his back porch the other day, she vented her anger on Facebook. “Knowing of his many other scathing pieces of ‘journalism’… we’re sure to have a doozey to look forward to with this treasure he’s penning,” she wrote. “Wonder what kind of material he’ll gather while overlooking Piper’s bedroom, my little garden, and the family’s swimming hole?” A 14-foot-high fence now separates the two properties.
