John Boehner, who has said talk of impeaching President Obama is a “scam started by Democrats,” has obviously not plunked down his $9.95 a month to join the Sarah Palin Channel, a subscription-based Web site (“channel” is a bit of a misnomer) launched this week by the former half-term governor of Alaska. And sure, Boehner’s House of Representatives is a model of statesmanship and restraint when it comes to disagreeing with the White House, but on the S.P.C., it’s all “I word,” as the founder puts it, all the time. At least it seems that way to this early adopter, because yes, I sacrificed my credit-card info so that you don’t have to, in order to report on the Sarah Palin Channel’s “programming,” which is also available for an annual fee of $99.95.

Full disclosure: according to the terms of service, I get the first two weeks free, and can cancel my subscription anytime up to that point, free of charge; I’ll let you know how easy or not that is.

In the meantime, as Palin says in the welcoming video that pops up once you’ve taken a deep breath, tried to forget all those stories about shopping sprees on the Republican National Committee’s dime, and typed in that three-digit number on the back of your MasterCard: “Hey, thank you so for joining our channel. This really is our channel, yours and mine, where we share ideas and discuss the issues of the day, and find solutions together to restore all that is good and strong about America. . . . Together, we’ll go beyond the sound byites, and cut through the media’s politically correct filter.”

In other words, though you may not have realized it, we’ve been living in a world in which, despite her vice-presidential candidacy, her paid gigs on Fox News, her books, and her two TV series, Sarah Palin’s Alaska and Amazing America with Sarah Palin, Palin’s beliefs have not been fully and freely enough disseminated. No more: if you’ve been wondering what Palin thinks about environmental regulations or federal deficits or the importance of family—and you have your credit card handy—you are now very much in luck.

(Corollary: according to a video in which Palin shares with her views on the current Middle East crisis, we are also living in a world in which staunch defenders of Israel have no voice.)

What you are not paying for with your subscription are production values. Most of the videos appear to have been shot in Palin’s kitchen or on her porch; she speaks directly to the camera, sometimes with a few cutaways to stock photos. The low-res picture quality and boomy sound may remind you of a 1990s home video, though that could well be a deliberately folksy touch. There are many of those, including a video in which Palin shows off the contents of her freezer—ground moose meat—and another in which she wishes her parents a happy anniversary. In that one, Palin calls out to her husband, Todd, to ask him about a bumper sticker on her father’s car that may hold the key to her parents’ “53 years of married bliss.” “I don’t remember,” says Todd, off-screen, sounding annoyed, like a husband in a sitcom whose zany wife has hatched a scheme to make money by being on camera all the time.

Palin eventually remembers the bumper sticker herself. It goes like this: BALDING, BEER BELLY, NO TEETH—AND YET I STILL LOVE HER. I’ve seen better bumper stickers, but Palin’s point is that a sense of humor is essential to a long-lasting marriage. Hard to argue with that. In all sincerity, I was moved by a fly-on-the-wall-style video of Palin talking to her youngest son, Trig, feeding him lunch, and reading to him from Dr. Seuss’s One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. She has a gentle, easy, loving way with Trig, who has Down syndrome, and really, that’s all that needs to be said.
