    She came out and gave the proper response to the White House Correspondence Dinner disaster.
    NBC is one of the liberal biased media that has been anti Trump from the beginning.
    However, in this case, even they realized Michelle Wolf has gone over the deep end.
    To attack a women of Sarah Sanders for her looks is just indefensible.
    I realize this was a comedy routine but usually they are balanced in their attacks. A roast is usually a sign of respect done in jest... In this case, it was not a roast but a savage attack on a decent human being.
    I applaud Megyn Kelly for her position and standing up to this non sense.
    Lets get back to civility of yesteryears.
    Michelle Wolf 15 minute of fame is done.
    She actually came out later and defended her monologue.
    She said “I would not change one word...”
    Her TDS has just took her to a new plateau...

    What part specifically do you feel was an “attack” on Sarah Sanders’ appearance?

        I did, and I’m now convinced that you did not. Because there was no comment about her ass.

          Did we watch the same clip?
          She clearly made fun of her fat ass and burning calories...
          It doesn’t matter. If you find no problem with her jokes, it is not up to me to criticize.
          At least there are emough people on both political spectrum that agree with tpme that she was not funny and over the top.
          You can disagree with a person’s politics but you shouldn’t make personal insults.

            Oh dear god.

            She said she burns facts and uses the ash to create a perfect smoky eye.

            Facts and ash, Jack. Not fat and ass. These are different words and they mean different things.

              That is exactly how it was meant.
              You must know that is part of humor and how they use like sounding words to suggest...

              Forget the details, do you have any problem with her genral tone?
              I don’t know why you are making excuses for her.
              Even the Organizers have distanced themselves from her remark...

              Furthermore, would you be so tolerant if the jokes were about Michelle Obama or Susan Rice or Valery Jarrett...

                Dude, no. That’s not what was meant. That would make literally not a bit of sense within the context of the rest of the joke.

                The sad irony here is that YOU are the one trying so desperately hard to make it about her appearance/body. Not Michelle Wolf, not liberals... you.

                  If the messenger is flawed, don’t blame the audience...
                  I learned that is my writer’s group.
                  I heard what I heard. I sensed her tone and her loathing...
                  Why would anyone come away with anything else?
                  She made no apologies...
                  She is buying into the idea that all is fine. Anything is fair game.
                  Except when it is against liberals. Then they want to shut it down.

                  I think these dinners are a waste. Why not just donate the money spent on the food and the comedian and offer the scholarship to some deserving journalism student?

                    Yes, you heard what you heard. Which apparently was a comment about a woman’s fat ass where there was none. Speaks volumes about you, I must say.

                    Edited to add: If you didn’t like her routine then that’s totally fair. She made some pretty vulgar jokes and it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. But she has nothing to apologize for, she did what she was hired to do. And if you want to be mad about something she said then try being mad about something that she actually said instead of something that you made up. If your biggest gripe was with something you pulled out of thin air then maybe you weren’t actually that offended by her?

    Oh lord. lol

    I guess jack and horse watched the same "clip commentary".


    It's funny that the same people that are so offended for some lame jokes are rabid fans of a president that makes fun of people appearance, especially women, all the time.

    So, it's the physical thing? But hey, the phony outrage is only for poor lady Sarah. What about Mitch's neck or Paul Ryan's balls? What about Jake Tapper's face or Trump Jr's hair?

    Yeah, that's what I thought.

    But yes, I applaud Megyn Kelly for calling their hypocrisy. Like she said, you can't have it both ways.

    I watched the clip on Sarah Huckabee from that dinner. It wasn't a roast. It was a catty low class woman at the podium. That's a liberal idea of humor.
