Sarah's Stalker

joe mcginniss agonistes Verum Serum's   Stalker Joe McGinniss Reveals His Cards  is worth the read.  Here, referring to a Washington Post article, a telling quote. “ By being here, I have learned things, and I’ve gotten an insight into her character, into her ability to incite hatred, that before I only knew about in the abstract. ” "So stalker Joe knew about her “ability to incite hatred” before this, but now he really knows?" Then, a comment by daddy strikes gold.

“ daddy McGinnis first came to Alaska in 1976. In an interview with the ADN (Anchorage Daily News) on 22 May 1976, he discussed his latest book, “Heroes”: As Joe McGinniss tells you in his new book “Heroes”, there aren’t any. “I had a theory” McGinness writes “America no longer had national heroes as it once did because the traditional source of heroes had dried up.” Because of Vietnam, because of WaterGate, the computer, television, social upheaval, and general disenchangement, modern men have feet of clay. McGinniss went on a personal search for heroes, to meet William Westmoreland, Eugene McCarthy, George McGovern, Daniel Berrigan, Joe Hooper,..William Styron and others. Rising out of interviews with potential heroes, former heroes, and might-have-been-heroes is McGinniss’s conclusion: “There are no heroes because there are no heroic acts to perform”… The book is an outward search of the people beneath the hero myth, but it is also an inner search, to peel away his own fears and frustrations and come to some self-understanding. He chronicles much of his life for the reader and plots his own self awareness journey. As McGinniss tells it, he grew up in Rye N.Y, as the only son of an alcoholic mother and a father who didn’t know how to behave as one…Then at 26 he found himself bewildered at the course of his life, married with three children, but in love with another woman… snipped text So according to McGinniss’s own theory, you cannot be a hero in America if you let the Press get close to you, so therefore Sarah Palin let me get close to you since I’m the Press, and if you don’t invite me in kindly to tear you down as a hero, then you are inciting hatred, just like Neil Armstrong and Bob Dylan who wouldn’t talk to me either so that I could personally tear them down. McGinniss strikes me as that cartoonish bad guy (Syndrome) in the Pixar movie “The Incredibles.” He has a desperate personal condition because he’s not a hero, therefore he purposefully goes out to destroy real heroes since he isn’t one himself and he doesn’t want real heroes around to remind guys like himself that he’s not one. He’s a psychological mess. Just another drunk Boston Irish democrat, wot?
