... the fictional character’s arrival in McGinniss’s real life marked the beginning of a beautiful relationship. This month, Doonesbury’s creator, Garry Trudeau, has partnered with McGinniss for a cartoon collaboration. (“A wild rumpus, as Joe put it,” Trudeau says.)

Check out the funnies Monday, and you’ll see Hedley reading excerpts from McGinniss’s bio, “The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin,” ahead of its Sept. 20 release date…

1. Hee, hee, hee

I'm guessing this is one reason why Quitterella hasn't jumped into the Republican Presidential Beauty Contest yet. Knowing who McGinniss has talked to and what he's likely to write about, Camp Palin isn't eager to be four feet out on a three foot limb when the book hits the shelves.

2. Apparently McGinnis gave 3 and only 3 people advanced copies:

Garry Trudeau, Andrew Sullivan, and Rosanne Cash (gotta love that Johnny's daughter, like him, is apparently such a progressive)...;)
