All you so called journalists and hosts took part in the Hillary attacks and that was not at the behest of a comedienne. And Don the Con goes after everyone. Go Cheney yourselves! Bravo Michelle Wolf.

(11,022 posts)Of course she thinks they are insults because she's such an out of touch rich twit who thinks the Aunt Lydia reference is about the appearance of the actress who portrays the character.
The smokey eye is about the burned truth used to create a perfect smokey eye makeup - not an appearance dig
Aunt Lydia again is about the torture with lies whispered in our ears every effing day- not an appearance dig.
Not everything is about looks, Mika. The comedian was being deadly serious. About the truth. Something journalists should spend their lives uncovering, rather than covering the poutrage over appearances. The truth about SHS and her boss is very ugly.

(9,897 posts)If being preternaturally thin, having symmetrical features and no original thoughts in your head are the prerequisites for a media/TV gig as a sidekick, she hit the lotto. Now turn slight to your left Mika so the breeze whipping through you head will hit Joe and tussle his hair...smile wider please....good job!

(6,236 posts)keep trashing her and Joe when they are now all about trashing trump et al? Maybe folks here do not ever forget the past and ignore what is going on in front of them now. My point is that we need all the help we can get.

(17,995 posts)I will tell you why!
Joe and Mika went on and on about our good friend, Donald, sucking up to him, bragging about how they played golf at this courses!
They allowed Trump to call in every morning during the campaign, even when other stations began to refuse his calls.
They did not turn on Trump until he threatened to expose their affair and made fun of Mika showing up bleeding from her latest face lift.
Then they turned on him. So spare me, Joe and Mika! You worked hard to get Trump elected!
Spare me the hypocracy now!

(61,712 posts)forget recent history, like how tough trump and trumpies act when they are calling out others, then how flaky they get when on the receiving end. Trump, trumpies, M&J always count on us to take the high road and back down, while they gather more support calling us weak or indecisive and lose power. Sometimes fighting back is good for the relationship.

(14,249 posts)wife and mother Hillary Clinton felt when she was trashed nonstop - not just for her politics but for her looks, her clothes, her expressions, her voice, her marriage. She said not a word in defense or sympathy.
So, Mika, please stfu already.
Me.
(35,454 posts)I have not forgotten when she said HRC needed to get down from her high horse. The hypocrisy is beyond billionaire rich.

(6,402 posts)It wasn't a singular focus and there was a good bit of praise for a lot of other jokes. The takeaway I got was that the dinner itself is problematic and has been for years (true) and that these are not normal times and it shouldn't have happened.
I came away from the routine thinking that Wolfe basically played the role of Trump at the dinner and called out everyone in his style.

(61,712 posts)when I heard Mika whining about this. The Handmaids Tale reference was about her being an "Uncle Tom" to women.
Sure, the media needs to get it right now more than ever. But this was a comedy routine.

(2,954 posts)They are too far up their own ass's . Michelle wolf said a lot of home truths and they have chosen to ignore them in favour of righteous indignation in defence of serial liar from the white house podium.

She was on her game and she spoke the truth.

(17,995 posts)They pushed the Iraq war. They belittled Gore,even his change of clothing style.
They pursued Hillary,repeated every lie, shoved Trump down our throat 24/7. They are still doing it today.
I have tuned them out. Elite toadies.

(18,124 posts)I am so glad I watched this stress relieving comedienne. I laughed out loud. Then was very happy, a high profile snubbing of the liars, cheaters, robbers, con artists, male and female, one con stands out among many, grifters, racists, sexists, homophobes that are so-called leaders of the GOP and of the WH who is a depraved evil human being. I double down!!!!! "Bravo Michelle Wolf" and to your truth also.
Bravo indeed

(17,995 posts)The Media are the worst hypocrites of all. Bunch of power sucking toadies.
They need to praise the real Journailists who actually give us real news while they spend their time being self important toadies sitting in air conditioned offices.

(28,283 posts)They're just a bunch of trump-enabling suck-ups.
And anybody that considers Joe and Mika to be journalists is an idiot.

(2,671 posts)When Stephen Colbert provided the after-dinner entertainment at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner, he spoke in the character of the clueless right-wing pundit he portrayed on his Comedy Central show. In my opinion, Colbert's well developed material and finely honed delivery contained more than enough clever set ups, witty twists and humorous punch lines to earn his performance high marks.

(17,995 posts)She emailed me right back,that it was nice to have friends.
That was when Republicans removed her from her front row seat.
President Obama even came out with a Birthday cupcake for her.
What a grand Journalist she was.
RIP, Helen!

(17,995 posts)Rachel? She is fearless, but also a pundit.
Even Ari Melber gave Kenya West a long time. I heard from friends,they all turned Ari off that night
