Michelle Wolf - White House Correspondents Dinner 2018

[FORD]

Both the Trumpsuckers and the Hillbots are whining about this, so judge for yourselves......

[Nitro Express]

I think her routine would be fine in a comedy club but she went over the top for a correspondents diner in Washington DC. It probably won't hurt her career any. Maybe it will help because she will be popular with a certain segment on the left. She played the Sarah Silverman card. She got raunchy. Maybe not really professional for the setting but she's defined herself as a raunchy court jester and she should be able to hustle some dollars doing that. There is money to be made off the current hate Trump fad and she will make some of that.

If I had to listen to that voice every day I'd kill myself.

No Kidding. Sounds like she worked on Wall Street for awhile. What most people don't realize is the average salary for a person who works on Wall Street is $200,000 a year. That's great if you live in Little Rock, Arkansas but when you have to live in New York City that isn't much. That doesn't buy much of a lifestyle. Sounds like she quit that after having her firm go under and working for a few other outfits and stumbled into comedy. Really she's not bad and that voice is perfect for a comedian but if you had to listen to that in the next cubicle you probably would be tempted to slit your wrist with a letter opener or bash her head in with a stapler. Haha!

Apparently that moose, Sarah Huckabee, is such a precious national treasure that no jokes are to be made about her. Of course the punchlines are often unintentionally provided by her...

[FORD]

The feigned outrage about Huckster Jr. is just the cover story that the corporate whore media is putting out. What they are REALLY pissed off about is the fact that Wolf called them - the corporate media whores themselves - out on their complicity on getting Cheeto in office in the first place, and profiting from him being there, no matter how much damage it does to the rest of the country.

The corporate media wants you to forget what CBS's Les Moonves said about Cheeto during the 2016 campaign.....

I'd have to agree, in that while I'm not a prude, she could have gotten across most of (if not quite all) the points/jokes she wanted to make without the raunch. It's tougher to be funny without being blue.

I thought the physical remark about her eye was a bit off-base, but I had no problems with the other remarks that concerned Mz. Sanders' continual lying on behalf of the President: Trump lies, and Sanders echoes the lies.

It's always a weird cringey gig.

The best one ever was Colbert but even that was a bit difficult to watch.

I think she went after Trump not having money because she knew it was the thing he hates most.

Trump made one rule for his Comedy Central roast which was the comedians could say anything about him or his family apart from saying he wasn't rich.

On the backlash about this in the media.

1) I've never seen one where the comedian universally went down well with everyone, it's not that kind of gig. She went down as well in the room as they usually do. On YouTube this video has 2 to 3 times more likes than dislikes. Even with that voice.

2) I think there is some sexism going on here. I didn't think she was much if at all ruder than usual.

3) People uncomfortable with the president being ridiculed to this level have to remember who the president is - a reality TV star who was on a TV comedy roast just a few years ago.

4) Trump is a coward not turning up.

5) FORD makes a great point about the media making money from Trump and she did too calling them out. They created him.

Theres a time and place and when you are at something like the White House Correspondence Dinner you don't go past Don Rickles level. Sarah Silverman level is too far for that setting. Save it for Vegas.

Maybe the whole correspondent's dinner is outdated for the times. It was great when the Republican vs Democrat thing was a rivalry. Right now the left and the right HATE each other. It's beyond rivalry and fun little jabs.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders sounds like she would tie you up and fuck you to the back of your teeth with a big strap on dildo if you misbehave during one of her White House press conferences.

The one thing I'll remember about that election night...somewhere between 9 and 10 pm, NBC calls three or four states for Trump, and while the graphic is up there is an audible sigh. Might have been Chuck Todd.

4) Trump is a coward not turning up.

Some people can't take a joke. I don't think it's a big deal that he doesn't show up.
