Sarah Palin made a 'big announcement' about 2016 election

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has a big announcement: She’s getting involved in the 2016 presidential election. Sort of.
The good news is that starting in August, you can watch the Sarah Palin Channel for free. She said she’s killing the annual subscription because with the election coming up, she wants to make sure everyone can watch her insightful videos.
“It is an honor to have you subscribe, really it’s been so illuminating and still is so illuminating to read and to respond to many of your insightful comments about current events, about so many things going on in our world today,” Palin said in a video.
“Now, it is with an important presidential election coming up that we are going to do this. I just want to make sure that your voices and mine are heard by the widest possible audience across this great land of ours. I really look forward to continuing to hear your ideas and your dreams and your solutions for America.”
So now, you don’t have to pay to watch her try to make a point but be completely incoherent, like that time she went off on Elizabeth Warren.

And, the suckers will line up. Just like Barnum predicted.

The Sarah Palin Channel, by contrast, had a barely measurable 36,000 visitors in September, according to Quantcast.
Three months after the launch, former CNN President Jonathan Klein—whose niche digital television company, TAPP, is backing the channel—claims it’s already turning a profit.
“It’s going really well,” Klein says, while declining to reveal how many Palin fans have signed up for $9.95 monthly or $99.95 yearly subscriptions. “She asked us from the very beginning never to talk about specific numbers, because for her she says it’s not about the numbers. It’s about the message and enabling her followers to all get together and talk freely. So I can’t give you numbers. I can tell you that she’s hit all our milestones and that she’s posting content constantly.”
Gee . . . I wonder why she's always declined to talk about numbers . . . Maybe because she can't count past 17. BTW, Sarah announced (along with TAPP) that they will ending their relationship.

This is more fun than humans deserve. Maybe she could somehow tie this in with her daughter's abstinence campaign, too!

I don't know if you all saw it or not, but a couple of weeks ago it was reported that Palin's Fox News Analyst contract was not renewed.
So it appears that Ms. Palin's time as a prominent figure on our political scene has come to an end. to her credit, she made herself a pretty penny over the past 8 years. And to be honest, she didn't have all that much of an effect on electoral politics. Most of her endorsements didn't propel candidates to congress or the Senate.
Come to think of it, outside of anyone named Kardashian, I can't think of anyone else who made so many headlines while doing so little over the past 5 years.
Fare thee well, Sarah.
