Sarah Palin Quits Thing.

We Watched So You Wouldn't Have To


Sarah Palin Quits Thing.



Götterdämmer-grift

This July 4th, Sarah Palin celebrated America by announcing that she is quitting the Internet-teevee-channel grift, because quitting is what Sarah Palin does best. In video and text announcements on the Sarah Palin Channel, Governor Quitterface declared that as of August 1, anyone can consume premium, previously paywalled Palin content, because Sarah Palin is getting rid of her paywall for freedom, and not because the Sarah Palin Channel was an economic failure, heavens no.

Palin’s video announcement tries to strike an upbeat tone, the way your folks did when they first told you that Fluffy would be living at a farm upstate, where he would have all sorts of room to run and chase chickens, doesn’t that sound fun for Fluffy? Here is Palin’s statement in full, annotated with relevant links to the Fartknocker Archives:
Hey, I wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, and to let you know personally that we’re making all of my content free now! It’s starting August 1st, everything’s free, and just to let you know, that 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 goin’ on in our world today.

Now, it is with an important presidential election comin’ up that we are gonna 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. I’m going to share my own too, keep doin’ this on Facebook and SarahPAC.com, and on the road as we confront these critical choices that we have in 2016.
Members can find additional information about their subscriptions by clicking on the link below this video. Just know that it means so much that we’re taking this journey together. So, keep the conversation going, let’s keep at it, keep the faith, and I thank you.

When Yr Wonket first took on the terrible burden of The Fartknocker Report, Presented By Fartknocker, we did not believe this day would ever come. But our day of deliverance has arrived, and Yr Wonket is overjoyed, for not only does the dissolution of the paywall obviate the purpose of the Fartknocker Report, but also it means that Yr Wonket was right, dammit, and that we have made good on our early promise to watch the lights go out in the Sarah Palin Channel’s eyes.

1. Ah, so the grifter pockets the subscription money and runs

I wonder if her loyal subscribers are going to have the brains to do a class action suit. Probably not, they're the people who thought they understood word salad sprinkled with catch phrases and buzzwords.

It's also after her latest howler, her sure-fire way to fix the California drought: build more reservoirs and "plants" because how could California be dry with all that water on the coastline?

One thing I did notice in her latest effort is that she's had some speech coaching and doesn't tend to screech like she did.

She's still monumentally ignorant and proud uvvit.

3. I had wondered how long she would last before running with the money.

A whole podcast would kill what few brain cells I still have left.

8. must be very short sound bites, since these things are only about 1 1/2 min each anyway.

pretty sure you still have many, many brain cells, judging by what I see on this board.
