Sarah Palin’s Money Hustle Don’t Stop; SarahpalinChannel.com Has launched.

Last week we talked about Paula Deen starting her own online channel and how it would never work.  Well how about SarahpalinChannel.com?

Sarah Palin has beat Paula Deen to the punch.  She has already launched her own channel and it’s the same format Deen hopes to cash in on.  Backed by two “prominent TV executives” the channel will be using a new subscription based platform called TAPP that will charge subscribers a monthly fee.  Yes Sarah Palin will be TAPP’in those pockets!!

Palin says that she is fed up with traditional news media outlets who she blames on her losing the Vice Presidency in her 2008 campaign.  She expressed her frustration on her facebook page stating: [more…]

“Tired of media filters? Well, so am I. So, let’s go rogue together and launch our own member-supported channel!   This will be OUR channel, for you and for me, and we’ll all get to call it like it is.”

The scary part is that it might actually succeed.  Personally I think Sarah Palin is an idiot.  I’ve seen enough of her to realize one thing – she’s in this for the cash, period.  I think her disdain for Obama is a farce, but Obama is polarizing enough, that if you are against him, you will automatically gain backers.  She’s an idiot but she’s no dummy.

I give Palin props because she does not stop scrambling.  She is like the Nene Leakes of politics.  She is aware that her star won’t shine forever so she is trying hard to cash in. After her 2008 bid, she wrote her book Going Rogue which sold more than 2 million copies.  Then in 2012 she was on Fox news,  and let’s not forget her reality show/Snoozefest ‘Sarah Palin Alaska”.  After just 1 season and 9 episodes she went on to launch a another show that was even worse called “Amazing America with Sarah Palin,”  In case you didn’t know about her last show, it was because it was run on the Sportsman Channel

Will enough people pay $9.95 to listen and watch videos of Palin?

Apparently it’s working for some already.  Glenn Beck has found great success and Steve Arterburn’s New Life TV program has proven profitable in just four months.  Palin plans to offer her subscribers,

“a behind-the-scenes look into Governor Sarah Palin’s personal life as mother,  grandmother, wife and neighbor, Channel members will also have the ability to post their own videos, send questions to the Governor and participate in online video chats, where they can talk directly with her and other subscribers.”

Before you completely dismiss it, if you go on some right wing sites, comments will have you believe that Sarah is the answer to Hilary.  One commentor posted,

If you check my post history, you will see that I’ve been a HUGE Palin fan but alas I cannot deny the obvious, it seems her detractors were absolutely correct in that she is in it for the $$$$ This is NOT the move of someone interested in getting in the trenches and it pains and saddens me because she is-was, this country’s last hope. I cannot think of any other qualified conservative woman (yes, it must be a woman) to run against Clinton 2.0

Although this comment agrees with me regarding Palin being money hungry, they also say that she was this country’s last hope.  GULP!  HOW SCAREY IS THAT.

Will enough people shell out the $9.99 per month to keep SarahPalinChannel.com alive?  Only time will tell.  I think guys like John Stewart will subscribe just to have an endless supply of material.  Like Tina Fey says, Palin material writes itself.
