Colbert Demolishes Sarah Palin’s New Media Venture (VIDEO)

Stephen Colbert trolled Sarah Palin's new media venture by buying a domain name that could easily be mistaken for her online video channel.

It’s easy enough to mock Sarah Palin’s new eponymous online video channel, but Stephen Colbert took the Palin-trolling a step further on Tuesday by announcing he bought thesarahpalinchannel.com.

That domain could quite easily be mistaken for sarahpalinchannel.com, where the former Republican vice presidential nominee launched an online community for news and videos of her family’s Alaskan adventures alike.

“This is all part of Sarah’s continuing mission to protect our freedoms at any cost, specifically $9.95 a month,” Colbert quipped. “Sure, that’s more than Netflix, but it’s just as good as ‘House of Cards’ with even more threatening monologues into camera.”

Thesarahpalinchannel.com calls itself “The only Sarah Palin Channel on the internet with a definite article in the address!” and redirects lost Palin fans to a “The Colbert Report” segment on her 2011 PAC-funded bus tour.

  1. The Whore of Babble On thinks eponymous is a small horse crossed with a rodent, done online.

  2. Sarah Palin is the Yoko Ono of Republican politics. If only the Republican party would break up over her.

    But really–this grifter’s hubris is a wonder, considering that all she offers the world is her own vanity.

  3. “The company providing the access is TAPP. I thought that was the name of one of her kids.”

    ~snicker~

  4. Great stuff, great stuff. Cut her off at the knees and watch her hobble on…a gold mine for late night tv…if you won’t STFU you can be my bitch (generically speaking of course)…

  5. If you want to turn that snicker into a lol, check out thesarahpalinchannel.com. First bit of content is the piece he did when she mangled the Paul Revere story and then refused to admit she’d gotten that or anything else ever in her life wrong. It’s like hearing some great Top 40 tune from when you were 17, it just takes you back to a really special phase of your life. Then he completely crushes her in his own reaction. Good times.
