White House Correspondents Dinner - Michelle Wolf

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

If there was anything wrong with Michelle Wolf's comments at a comedy roast, then Trumpy and his flunkies saying even worse while holding the nation's highest office ought to provoke nationwide non-stop protests from citizens of all persuasions until he is removed from office. Since such protests are not ongoing and he is still in office, ipso facto, her routine was fine and well within the standards of our society, and some people just don't like what she said or who she targeted. Tough.

And I'm just bein' like ...huh, I guess that Dinner thing happened.

Kinda tuned out after Trump wussed out. The whole affair has always been a pathetic, but Obama had a good run of it.

@Beet: You must've hated 2006 then huh.

It is funny how history repeats itself.

DC pundits all thought Colbert went too far in 2006. but after the midterms it was obvious that most Americans agreed with his assessment about W.

There is no group that is more out of touch with reality then DC journalists and pundits.

Sure there is: Trumpy and his bootlickers.

Disgusting performance.

She deserves to be performing her obscenities only in low life dives frequented by perverts and pimps.

Are you saying she should perform at the RNC or the Trump White House, or both and maybe CPAC too?

Political comedy at this point is pretty much just a sort of self-congratulatory exercise for people to feel superior to their opponents.

Not if you're a Republican. Then it's governance.

After all the right wing whining and gnashing of teeth,  I watched the full set on YouTube and was pretty underwhelmed. Aside from a couple jokes that pushed the envelope, it was pretty standard, tame stuff. No worse than a Trump stump speech really.

Oh, so she only called for riots in the streets and the assassinations once or twice?
