Palin's New Neighbor, Joe McGinniss, talks to Matt Lauer on The Today Show

I apologize if this has already been posted, but I've been away from the computer all day.

I find it frightening the way the Palins (and the bots) are bullying Joe McGinniss. He has the right to live where he's living, and it seems pretty clear that he has no interest in their personal lives. Sarah has positioned herself as the victim here, as usual. Like he says, she could have introduced herself to him and presented a positive face, created a good first impression, talked about boundaries and so on, but she chose instead this instinctive paranoia. She put herself in the spotlight. She cannot expect that people won't want to write about how she rose to stardom. That's what I believe Joe McGinniss wanted to write about, not some lurid tale about her personal life as she seems to believe. It really makes you wonder what she's hiding.

Anyway, here's the transcript:
