1. The Obama Administration Countdown Clock

On the front page of SarahPalinTV, viewers are greeted with a countdown clock for Obama’s presidency. Palin measures it in days, hours, minutes and seconds, so Obama-haters get the satisfaction of watching the number of seconds go down—in real time! This is extra ironic, since Palin is also obsessed with impeaching Obama. In fact, she has a video on the channel all about the "I Word" (but more on that later). But that countdown clock would suggest that even Palin doesn’t believe her own clap-trap about Obama’s impeachability.

2. Debt Clock

Next to “Days Left in the Obama Presidency” is another kind of clock: “Our National Debt.” Reminiscent of the late right-wing libertarian real estate developer Seymour Durst’s debt clock in Times Square, this also has some really big numbers on it. Those numbers are constantly moving. Mostly they go up according to some unknown algorithm that likely has no connection to reality and makes it seem really, really scary. Deficit hawks like Palin love that.

3. Word of the day

Why is there a word of the day on the Sarah Palin Channel? No idea. Perhaps it's due to her own documented history of difficulties with the English language. On the day we looked at the site, the word of the day was “Mellifluous.” Isn’t that a pretty word?

4. Video of Palin's rebuttal to Elizabeth Warren’s "11 Progressive Commandments

Laughable that Palin thinks she can go toe-to-toe intellectually with Warren, but some low-lights in this video, which shows grainy footage of Warren's speech intercut with Palin's commentary, are lower than others. When Warren states, “We believe in science, and that we have a responsibility to protect the earth,” Palin responds: “We believe in science and God’s magnificent creation overflowing with resources.” Never mind that believing both is technically impossible. She goes on to say that God wants us to honor him and develop those resources, and exploit them. And use them to heat up the planet. She’s obviously tight with God.

1. Her snarky, sanctimonious smugness is really sickening.

I made a little tune out of some snippets of one of her speeches:

2. To be kind

Grifterella, lady Blah Blah is a semi-literate ignoramus who makes the worst word salads look like prose. : That woman is an idiot wrapped in buffoon skin.
