"The president of the United States is the one pussy you're not allowed to grab."

Wow.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I don't think Michelle Wolf is especially funny,

and her voice could curdle gin. She's just throwing out insults, and not clever ones.

[spooky3]

2. I think she is trying for the Colbert 2006 impact

And some of the lines are good, but some seem really inappropriate for this event (vs. a late night Comedy Store type of performance).

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. More of a lounge act, not appropriate for this occasion.

Colbert had some biting but funny satire; this is just crass and gross.

[lame54]

10. What could possibly be inappropriate...

About roasting the Trump administration

[BannonsLiver]

12. Exactly

They should be in jail.

[meow2u3]

3. I don't think she's very funny either

Call my old-fashioned, but I think her jokes are too inappropriate for a black tie event.

[politicaljunkie41910]

13. That makes two of us then. She's standing there reading from her notes like she wrote this stuff

on the way over in the car. How unprofessional. Note to future comedians; jokes about aborted babies are never comedy material. Next time try your material out on your own mother first; if she gasps, leave that joke on the cutting floor.

I really feel sorry for the woman who was in charge of the program. She seemed disappointed at the end and rightfully so. Their cause is a noble one and I'm sure that they worked hard on this dinner for most of the year. Now the P'grabber will feel vindicated in blowing off for the past two years what has been a long tradition where reporters, politicians, and celebrities could get together for a worthy cause and laugh at one another, without taking themselves too serious. For the record, I thought that the comedians from the last two WHCD were very funny. I guess the guys have been at it longer and know how to strike the right tone without having to be vulgar. We just might have seen the last WHCD until Trump is out of the White House. That's too bad.

16. Not so sure the intermingling of celebrity, journalism and politics

has been a good thing for this nation in the last 70 years. It was particularly galling during the Dubya administration when the Fourth Estate's lickspittle approach to Dubya's transparently falsified rush to war was a surrender of their duties to the nation.

5. Who the hell is...

...Michelle Wolf?

[mainstreetonce]

6. He deserves that one

Bigly

[highplainsdem]

7. That was playing off her earlier comments about Trump being cowardly for not attending.

She said she would have grabbed him to get him there, but...

[NoodleyAppendage]

8. Trump was just eviscerated, and some complain?

What gives?! That was the best 20-30 minutes of TV I’ve seen in years. She cut Trump to his knees.

[SharonClark]

9. What gives? She wasn't funny. She was supposed to be funny.

Was it the 'best 20-30 minutes' on TV because she attacked someone you didn't like? That's a pretty low standard for a comic.

[lame54]

15. I heard laughter

[BannonsLiver]

14. Use of the p word in that context is becoming more and more verboten

I suspect that’s what they’re really mad about. Personally I loved the joke. These scum deserve the most brutal crude humor possible.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

17. She was brilliant! Pulverized everyone in her path. She held a mirror to every bigot

racist, mysoginist, hypocrite that spews hate propaganda and lies about non white, nonChristian, lgbt, immigrants, refugees and women..well everyone really; thos very same persons (trumpf, gop) that implement and support policies that hurt every American; the poor, sick, disabled, and elderly while they stuff their pockets with money that they stole from the American taxpayer, then disguised it as a tax cut.

I've read in other online news/chats/tweets and on some du threads that MIchelle Wolf was was crude, crass, vulgar and offensive. That it wasn"t the right venue for such crassness, vulgarity, yet the presidency is? We have a vulgar sexual predator a 'monster' (wolf's apt description of trumpf) in the white house. It sure as hell was the right time and place!

So NO. NO SHE WASN'T offensive, rude or vulgar (sorry didn't mean to shout) trumpf is offensive and,vulgar, pence is offensive and vulgar, the gop is offensive and vulgar ..with their racist, bigoted, hateful and hurtful propaganda and policies. (insert: the wealthiset American oligarchs/corporations --theyre offensive and vulgar as well. They hord their wealth, pay low wages, cut health care and pensions of working Americans ) Wolf made people feel uncomfortable? Good! Anyone need a mirror?

[kentuck]

11. It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it.

Trump's speech at his rally was more debasing and vulgar, even though he didn't use the "f"bombs or use the "p" word.

She warned them: "I guess you should have researched me more?"

Deplorables can't be snowflakes.

Look at what they are willing to accept up 'til now.

At what point do we wish to stop "free speech"?

Why do we find it offensive?
