I see that Sarah Palin has decided to take a position on the MacDonald case. I wonder if it's because she's been researching the case for years, has read almost everything about it (possible, due to her prodigious reading habit), and has has a strong opinion for quite some time. Or, could it be that Joe McGinniss made himself a pain in her ass, and she will get on board with anything that would tend to make him look evil, foolish, douchey, or whatever.
Here's the deal. Joe McGinniss may be the spawn of Satan for all I know. That doesn't mean that Jeffrey MacDonald didn't beat and stab his wife and children to death.
I would urge anyone feeling moved by all of this noise surrounding Errol Morris' new book and it's indictments of Joe McGinniss to go back and look at all the evidence as it came in before Joe McGinnis had come anywhere near this thing.
Dr. MacDonald has always been innocent. No motive, no past history of physical abuse or violence, no pathology and no drugs in his system. McGinniss lied to his subject and his readers and the whole world is learning what a fraud and slimeball he is. Way to go Sarah Palin for exposing this creep and sticking it to him like he stuck it to others.
