Palin TV Will Be Comedy Central

The former half-term governor has started her own subscription-based Internet TV network. If nothing else, it is should provide a lot of unintentional hilarity.

You really can’t ask for a better way to start your week than with seeing the headline “Sarah Palin launches her own Internet TV channel”. It’s like Christmas came early—or maybe Palin timed the announcement to coincide with the end of Ramadan and this is her Eid present to Muslims.

In any event, on Sunday Palin unveiled her subscription-based Internet TV network, “The Sarah Palin Channel.” It costs $9.95 a month, which means that people earning the hourly minimum wage of $7.25—which Palin opposes raising—will have to work two extra hours a month to afford it.

I know what you are thinking: I love Sarah Palin, but is her network really worth that money? Well, let me give you a little tour of the Palin Channel so you can decide.

Palin then goes on to offer conservatives so much red meat that the network should come with a health warning. We see images of Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson, the guy who likened gays to criminals and people who rape animals. There’s Franklin Graham, who told us that Islam is a “very evil and wicked religion.” And we also see news stories the website will offer, focusing on one in particular: “The case for Obama’s impeachment.”

Her promo video—which looks like an SNL parody—lets us know right from the top that this “is a news channel that’s a lot more than news, it’s a community.” It appears that Palin has now become a community organizer—just like President Obama was. I guess he inspired her.

1. Can't be like Comedy Central

People will actually watch CC.

2. No doubt about it, while it lasts it will be ROFL hilarious

But ten bucks a month to hear that voice?

I'd much rather just read about it.

3. I refuse to give any support to that twit

She is not getting my money. I'm not paying to torture my ears!

4. I don't think she understands how difficult it is to fill a "network" with content.

She has no content to offer, so I assume she is counting on others to do the work for her.

5. A fitting going away gift to Stephen Colbert.
