Sarah Palin: There Is No There There
“I am not going to subscribe to Sarah Palin’s $9.95 per month,” McCain said on Monday during her Pivot show TakePart Live. “I got all the Sarah Palin I need for one lifetime.”
And then to add a bit of media analysis to it, McCain continues:
“I don’t know how this is different than a blog with video posts,” McCain said. “It didn’t look like a video channel. Glenn Beck has The Blaze, which is an actual channel you can turn to on television.”
McCain brings up a good point, comparing free-range conspiracy theorist Glenn Beck to Palin. Beck has his small but devoted following on the Blaze, and we’re sure that Palin will have her small subscriber base, too.
But they are both now niche players, people to whom the Republican power players will probably never return calls. The mainstream, er, lamestream media doesn’t cover Beck now unless he says something completely unhinged, and we can expect similar reportage on Palin now. She has lost whatever power and credibility that she ever had.
Meghan McCain’s off-hand dismissal of Palin is the proof of that: no one owes Palin a favor, not even the loyal daughter of the man who hung his political career on Palin’s selection as the VP will go there. There is no there there.

Sadly, however, Sarah’s 15 minutes keeps rolling along.
As long as there are idiots, people like her will exist.

The real victims here are the millions of Fox viewers who will not understand why their betamax vcr’s are not recording her show.

P.T. Barnum never actually spoke the words attributed to him in the quote
“there’s a sucker born every minute”.
But he should have.

Years ago I heard Meghan McCain on a radio interview after the campaign. I think she was promoting a book. She is articulate and seems to genuinely want the republican party to return to the Eisenhower party essence. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen any time soon…if ever. In listening to her, she has a strong dislike of the Wasilla Wackjob along with her dysfunctional hillbilly family. Meghan resents her father’s clumsy and incompetent choice for a running mate and I half to give her respect for standing up to the teabaggers who have stolen her political party.

Will refunds be given to subscribers when she quits?

No, their cards will be whacked for an early termination charge, though.
