I called it. Sarah Palin to launch teevee channel.

From teh Wonkette:

According to Capital New York, the bigtime teevee channel will be available through Tapp, a digital video service that we’ve never heard of but is apparently a real thing, and will launch in April or May, for sure. it sounds like it’s well worth the $10 a month subscription price (is that for Tapp, or just for the Sarah Channel? We don’t know!):

Palin’s channel will feature video commentaries from the former Republican vice-presidential candidate, discussing current events and political issues.

“Think of it as a video version of her Facebook page,” the source said.

We’ll just wait until the content makes it to the YouTubes, we think.

The source also suggested that the channel might also include “advice and guidance from Palin, such as tips for parents and recipes,” which sounds pretty much irresistible, and the hope to have interactive chats with Palin, or maybe with a Max-Headroom type simulation. The key will be in determining whether the real or virtual Palin comes closer to passing a Turing test.

From my journal, July 14th 2009:

"She's going Tammy Faye."

I can see it now: TSPN - The Sarah Palin Network! The rubes will flock to it. The critics will refer to it as T-SPIN. She and Todd will spend hours a day, hawking for donations in the name of Jesus and the flag. They'll bring on celebrity guests. They'll invite evangelist preachers. Bristol will teach young mothers how to diaper and feed infants, Live! from the TSPN Nursery. When Track comes back from Iraq, he'll become Excecutive Producer. Piper and Willow will film dramatic reports on the souls they saved from godlessness because they'll have been sent to those parts of the world where people are brown and starving. With the proceeds of her book, money pilfered from her PAC and some rich (secret) investors, Sarah Palin will launch the flashiest, loudest, crazy train wreck lady show the world has ever seen...
