Oopsie. Palin smear artist Joe McGinnis was denied his chance to make a mockery of the Palin diner auction when the good Guv nixed his ebay bid last week, sources say.
The New York Daily News reports that smear writer McGinnis, who is writing an unauthorized “biography” attacking Governor Palin, tried to top the winning $60,101.01 ebay bid for the dinner with Palin but the bid was voided by Palin herself.
Palin reserved the right to refuse bidders who failed to meet “standards of suitability, professionalism, background and other factors.”
Good for her. This yellow journalist was denied a chance to put himself in the news by snagging this dinner with Palin. McGinnis was denied his attempt at propaganda and self aggrandizement.
There is another reason why this denial of the smear writer is a good thing. His taking dinner with the governor would have overshadowed the charity for which the dinner was planned. Certainly the news would have focussed on McGinnis’ blather and the clash between he and Palin and the great charity that the dinner was to benefit would have been forgotten.
That charity, by the way, is Ride2Recovery, a great charity that helps our wounded military veterans recover their health and dignity.
