WHCD - Wow!

[mobeau69]

Conway's not happy and SHS was on the verge crying. Wolf is brutal.

[poboy2]

1. Poor routine. Not good

[Doodley]

2. I am loving Michelle Wolf! The faces of Conway and Huckerby-Sanders are priceless.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Really? I think she's awful.

I haven't even cracked a smile. Her jokes aren't funny, they are just mean and gross.

[dflprincess]

6. Completely agree

though the sour looks on Kellyanne's and Sarah's faces made me smile.

[scarletwoman]

28. She was just cringe-worthy, not clever or sharp. A blunt instrument.

I feel bad, because I would have loved to have been able to celebrate the fact of a woman doing the WHCD, but she was really not it for me.

[Maraya1969]

40. Wasn't that Stephen Colbert talking about Bush 42 also?

You can't poke fun at something that is really serious without causing discomfort.

[scarletwoman]

41. Colbert used a rapier, this woman used a meat cleaver.

No class, no finesse.

[Maraya1969]

42. You sure the fact that she is a woman is not coloring your view.

I've heard as many women as men be misogynistic.

[scarletwoman]

44. Don't be ridiculous. I appreciate good satire. This was not good satire.

I was delighted to know there would be a woman doing the WHCD, and was looking forward to watching it.

So I found it doubly disappointing that she was so crass and vulgar, and almost totally unfunny.

[pnwmom]

43. I agree. I cringed for her performance a number of times. Too many unfunny "jokes" bombed. n/t

[scarletwoman]

45. I found it very hard to watch. nt

[gopiscrap]

47. I agree and they should be...if we want to win we need to fight in the gutter

tha's where everything is decided these days

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Not funny, just mean.

I'm afraid these crass jokes will play right into the hands of the WH. There's a way to do satire without being gross and vicious. I turned it off.

[Doodley]

8. Our Democracy is being attacked, people are dying because of these lying, mean-spirited

Trump advocates - my heart is not bleeding for them.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. My heart isn't bleeding but my ears are.

Her jokes were mean-spirited and crude and will do nothing to improve the animosity of the WH - probably make it worse. It was embarrassing. Stephen Colbert (and Obama) knew how to do it, this person didn't understand she wasn't supposed to be doing a Vegas lounge act.

[Doodley]

32. Calling liars out is not mean-spirited. It is something that shouldn't be left for a comedian.

[Funtatlaguy]

21. Absolutely

Lock them up Mueller

[mobeau69]

9. I'm afraid these crass jokes will play right into the hands of the WH.

I think that's probably correct. Can't believe she used the F word on live tv.

[dflprincess]

13. Colbert showed us how it could be done

when he took on Bush at the 2006 dinner.

[poboy2]

17. THIS is far and away the standard by which all should be judged. End of Message.

[still_one]

19. Any anger should be directed against the comics and not the Democrats

[chillfactor]

5. maybe it is time that.

Conway and Sanders were on the other side of brutal.....the two of them are brutal to many good people including the press.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Stephen Colbert was brutal, too, but he was subtle and funny.

Michelle Wolf, who I've never heard of and hope never to hear of again, is just crude and mean.

[mobeau69]

14. Good point. nt

[Doodley]

18. Agreed. They are taking away safety nets for the poor and sick, threatening the media, threatening

to lock people up, sticking fingers up to the environment - why would anyone thing they don't deserve some harsh words?

[gopiscrap]

48. exactly

[still_one]

7. That is just great. Will this will generate sympathy for trump? Just f**king great

10. She was terrific!

It was interesting to see the audience reaction... people under 30-35 were loving her, and younger women were even more enthusiastic. The older folks were definately peeved.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. She sucked. But I guess I'm too old to appreciate strafing with F-bombs.

[Upthevibe]

12. That was over fast....

That was really quick....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. Not fast enough.

[Grassy Knoll]

16. A Female Trump...

...Wow!

[Cha]

23. lol

[ecstatic]

24. Loved it! Trying to remember my favorite zings!

Grabs pussy looking for loose change!

Sarah Sanders = Aunt Lydia

Ivanka full of shit. LOL!

I must say, the scowls on the trumpette/deplorable faces were the best part. Priceless!

[mobeau69]

25. Tree falling in the woods. nt

[WomanWhoRoars]

26. Uncomfortable

As a woman, I hated the jokes about how Sanders looks. Just not funny. I think Sarah Sanders is a huge liar for Trump but she looked lovely tonight.

[dembotoz]

27. She spoke the truth.. about both sides

Sorry it wasn't sesame Street safe....
It's what she does

[mobeau69]

29. She brought up Chappaquiddick.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. That was really cringeworthy. She said Ted murdered a woman.

I'm all for sharp, satirical humor, but this wasn't sharp or satirical or even funny. Colbert did it right. Wolf wasn't at all clever.

[dflprincess]

38. One would also expect something a bit more current at the WHCD

not topics nearly 50 years old involving a man who has been dead over 8 years. (Yes, I know about the movie, but it still doesn't come under current news.)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

39. Maybe she thought she also needed to say something mean about a liberal

in order to balance things out, but didn't want to pick on someone who was still alive. At least she didn't talk about Monica Lewinski.

[greatlaurel]

30. "How broke is he?"......

Hope this blows up twitter!

Michelle Wolf rocked! I loved her, but the old, rich white people in the audience are not used to being told truth by a sassy, black woman.

[AdamGG]

33. I was entertained, but think it will play to Trump's advantage

By being obviously crude & mean, it helps Trump look right for refusing to go. It's almost made to order for his rubes to feel that it shows how the media is NY coastal, biased against Trump, and doesn't represent them.

It would have been nice to see someone like Conan O'Brien do a classier, more subtle job with this, but it will get forgotten quickly in the continuous vortex of craziness.

It will probably help Wolf's career by being kind of outrageous, though.

[lunasun]

34. trump is brutal on this country .... for just one day they experience Trump vitriol vibes backatcha

and I like how she went after the press for pumping trump 24/7

[Lint Head]

35. Perfect routine! It's a fucking roast. Trump is thin skinned.

And so are all the fucking Nazis who support him.

[mobeau69]

36. A couple of comments on CNN

She's a comedian, not the POTUS. Why should she be held to a higher standard than him?

Truth telling to this administration is always offenseve to them.

[Hawaii Hiker]

37. Trump is ruining this country

I'm certainly not going to be offended when a WHCD host blasts this SOB....Trump insulted his way to the WH in 2016.....He can handle 20 minutes of a comedian tearing him to shreds....

Hoo-ray for Michelle Wolf.

[Scurrilous]

46. Go Michelle!
