Michelle Wolf appreciation thread

[vercetti2021]

While some didn't like her or she was mean. Yeah don't care if she annihilated Sanders or Conway, both deserve the ridicule for the crap they've done.

[chillfactor]

1. amen...n/t.

[Funtatlaguy]

2. Loved how brutal it was

They deserve it.
They are liars and con artists.
Call them out.
Good on you, Michelle.

[Plucketeer]

135. Another example of

comedians being the true media newsfolks!

[dembotoz]

3. I liked her

[calimary]

132. I did, too. She wasn't any more pungent than Colbert was. Maybe there's a little sexism going on?

Sometimes it was hard to say which was funnier - her jokes or the reaction shots of Kellyanne CONway and Sarah HB. Hey, if you don't want to be made fun of as a non-stop congenital liar in public, then all you really have to do is simply STOP LYING ALL THE TIME!!! I have very little sympathy for self-inflicted wounds.

[MattP]

4. She went after them for creating the monster

[lunasun]

26. Yes she said it to their faces

[Doodley]

5. Loved it. They all deserved it and more.

[jrthin]

6. I LOVED HER!!!! She was fearless.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

43. Thoroughly entertaining and relevant. All the while ms prude and pearls sitting next

to me wild... perched on her racist fake evangelical christian pedestal. Huckabee-sanders presence ruined the event. She mimicks her bosses' vitriol and demeanor--which I surmise was the point. Who the hell invited her? I know, I know she went in t rumpf's stead..since he's a chicken-shite coward.

Michelle Wolf pulverized everyone including Mr racist sexual-predator himself and his lovely lying press secretary ms pride&pearls (Huckabee-Sanders.)...she is a comedic genius.

[bluecollar2]

7. I liked her

She ripped the band aids off...

[Grassy Knoll]

8. MAGAt's Will Be Pissed...

[ProudLib72]

10. Who cares if they haz a sad

Couldn't happen to more deserving "people"

[EffieBlack]

9. Lots of things I didn't like, but I LOVE that she called Sanders a liar to her face and also called

out the press for their coverage of Trump.

But much of it wasn’t funny and I think she was too crude - the cursing and sex jokes were inappropriate and jarring.

[vercetti2021]

14. Some humor works for different people

I don't mind crude long as it's well deserved. I don't mind crude jokes or cursing myself, but each to their own

[bettyellen]

16. Agreed, but she was brutally honest and I love seeing that thrown in their face-

Hard to make abortion funny, but hell, at least she was honest. I think her punches landed, they can’t say shit about it.

[MaryMagdaline]

55. I am a total prude but I thought some of the sex jokes

Had good political truth.

I loved that she ended with "Flint still does not have clean water."

She shamed those people. Big time.

[EffieBlack]

84. Indeed

And that's why the same reporters who sit silently as Sarah Huckabee treats them like crap suddenly found their voice last night and are jumping to her defense to help beat up mean old Michelle Wolf for picking on poor Sarah.

You'd think they'd be embarrassed, but I guess not. Unbelievable.

[MaryMagdaline]

90. She lies to them everyday and they think it's just fine

[pangaia]

97. Well, well said.....

[still_one]

11. It isn't so much that they don't deserve it, will it generate sympathy for trump?

[vercetti2021]

15. How can it get sympathy for him when he does this shit daily?

His childish insults with little or rocket man. He deserves nothing. I hope he cries on twitter later

[ecstatic]

17. Any sympathy won't last long once he gets on twitter

Something tells me he's going to go berserk---especially because his precious Ivanka was attacked.

[Exotica]

130. Other than Trump himself, I SO hope Ivanka ends up in a world of misery and loss (prison too)

After the shitgibbon himself, she is the second biggest ratfucker of the lot. She is at the epicentre of the Trump global money-laundering scheme.

[bettyellen]

19. He is so much ruder than her. She was honest, and yeah it gave people pause-

but I think that’s a good thing. You can’t argue he’s not a chicken, or he’s as wealthy as he claims. People know she is right. Might be less funny, but I liked it.

[still_one]

20. good points

[bettyellen]

21. I cringed a bit, and felt it was uneven. But calling out the press was amazing and her

Talking about how Trump was too much of a pussy to be there- brilliant! I hate hearing that term but anyone complains about it has to admit why it’s currently part of our lexicon- Trump. So if people think it’s crude they should credit the WH.

[vercetti2021]

25. Well she isn't wrong

Trump is a thin skinned man baby who can't take the same shit he dishes out. I'm looking forward to the meltdowns from the right. My thoughts and prayers to them. Hope they have fries for all the salt they're about to produce.

[misanthrope]

51. I hope he found it "tough to watch"

He's a sack of excrement.

[bettyellen]

57. I hope some of it sinks in to the press - it was funny to hear Tweety talk about it as if

She was talking about other people, and not him. So yeah, maybe they’ll never get it. But I’m sick of everyone making light of Trumps bullshit and so overall, i give it a thumbs up. Lots of people should be uncomfortable.

[JI7]

35. They had no Problem with Grab them by the Pussy , Blood coming out of her, shithole countries etc

throw it back in their face if they want to feel bad for trump.

[still_one]

38. you nailed with that counter JI7, thanks

[MaryMagdaline]

56. Yes. Loved her side remarks: "he said it first"

And "should have done more research before hiring me."

[kacekwl]

81. I was starting to feel sorry for o'l Sarah

but after seeing trump performing in Michigan last nite not so much. "Are there any Hispanics in the crowd ? " etc. If you lay with dogs you get fleas. If you lie for dogs you get the consequences.

[kpete]

12. BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN

She will be called harsh, insensitive, angry


F that shit

kp

[pangaia]

39. I've also seen complaints about her voice.. right here.

[MaryMagdaline]

59. I thought the voice was part of her shtick

Her persona was sort of mean girl air hostess with the faux midwestern friendliness. I liked it. Can't really explain.

BTW she's young. People in my office that age are brutal!

[pangaia]

96. She commented on her voice right at the beginning.

Said something about she took an aptitude test and it said she should either go into comedy or be a mime. Then she said that with her voice maybe she should have been a mime.




I liked her.

[TheSmarterDog]

72. I saw that too. Sad & disappointing. But not unexpected.

[pnwmom]

40. No, I just thought the lame or mean-spirited jokes outnumbered the clever ones. n/t

[Atticus]

41. I agree, but we are obviously in the minority. nt

[pangaia]

98. I am on the other side on this one.

Those fuckers in the audience needed that, for whatever good it will do.

Did she cross the line? Differences of opinion, of course. But this time, I could care less. She let them have it right between the eyes.

[Squinch]

82. Yep. A similar set made Steven Colbert a household name and leveraged his fame

into the next higher level. It will be interesting to see what happens with Michelle.

[SunSeeker]

123. Exactly. Michelle Wolf may have even written some of his jokes.

She was a writer for the Daily Show.

[Squinch]

124. We loved it when he said Trump's mouth was Putin's cock holster, but if a woman calls out

SHS and Kelly Conway as liars, it might be too much for our delicate sensibilities.

[SunSeeker]

125. Yep. nt

[Stallion]

13. Enjoyed it so much-especially nailed the blatent Liars who deserve to be ROASTED

[greatlaurel]

18. Michelle Wolf was fabulous.

Hearing truth from a strong, smart woman of color was not well received by a lot of rich, white people.

[dalton99a]

22. She did a good job.

[OneBlueDotBama]

23. Say it Loud sister

to the rafters....

[Hawaii Hiker]

24. Michele Wolf was great

She was funny....I found nothing offensive about it....Most roasts are far more cruel...

[BigmanPigman]

27. Well done!

[MojoWrkn]

28. She was brutal and I loved it!

[Lint Head]

29. I want her autograph! If she wrote it she is genius.

[underthematrix]

30. Loved it

[mountain grammy]

31. Loved it. She's rough, but funny.

[Scurrilous]

32. K&R

[kentuck]

33. She was brutal !

[Clarity2]

34. I thought it was funny

And they deserve every bit of it, as much as trump is trying to discredit the media, and how he has plunged us all into hell. They are all nasty, lying grifters.

And I was absolutely shocked when I saw Huckabee was there. Looked like she wanted to walk out. Cant say I feel sorry for her.

But I cant help feeling like they/we are all going to pay for it.

[TeamPooka]

36. mic drop. Michelle killed it. nt

[jalan48]

37. Great job!

[Sailor65x1]

42. Now I know who's been fighting Meg Tilly

For all the helium...

[Maraya1969]

44. I say, "You go girl" This women appreciate you!

[onecaliberal]

45. Loved every second. Epic takedown. Well deserved.

[JohnnyRingo]

46. She was right in the administration's wheelhouse

...for better or worse.

Trump may actually gain respect for her ruthlessness and hire her as a speech writer. Certainly he has little right to criticize her style.

I had a good time.

[arthritisR_US]

47. I totally enjoyed it, very cathartic.

[njhoneybadger]

48. Holy fuck that was brutal

[torius]

49. She was awesome. Cerebral

and speaking the truth. Can't sugarcoat a turd like Trump. Better to just say it as it is, and she did.

[misanthrope]

50. I thought it was a thing of beauty!

Best I've seen since Stephen Colbert roasted George W. Bush to his face in 2006.

While the majority of shots were aimed at the current administration, Wolf did a good job in skewering Achilles heels across the Beltway, including media. I've always found the WHCD to be a self-congratulatory circle jerk and the chumminess between these journalists and politicos is sometimes unsettling.

[gopiscrap]

52. exactly

[grantcart]

53. Didn't offend me and I am a prude

[BannonsLiver]

54. This was a flame thrower job.

And she brought a fucking flame thrower. Don’t like it? Avert your eyes. Simple as that.

[MaryMagdaline]

61. That she did!

[Kali]

58. Guts.

Comedians have WAY more than the press or the politicians.

[ochem]

60. Yeah

The GOP, the party of "fuck your feelings stop being so politically correct can't you take a joke?" - Is now pretending to be upset at - jokes?

I have said this before. The only thing GOP believes in is being gigantic hypocrites.

[awesomerwb1]

62. Two thumbs up!

[pansypoo53219]

63. loved her tapper joke.

[Atman]

64. Sadly, they'll be going all Kathy Griffin on her today.

Rule #1: Republicans can say or do anything they want without consequence, but Democrats must pay with their careers.

[vercetti2021]

65. Hopefully we learned

If they hit back we hit twice as hard

[treestar]

80. Which is what the Dotard claims to do

ten time, I believe it is.

[elocs]

66. I found the performance like tripping the blind and congratulating yourself on being clever.

It's too easy to mock and taunt the Trump administration and its lackeys but is what they have done and will continue to do to America really ha-ha funny?

[vercetti2021]

67. No course is it isn't funny what they are doing to America

But I'm happy someone least had the balls to call these assholes out for what they really are.

[elocs]

68. "But I'm happy someone least had the balls to call these assholes out for what they really are."

Odd because I read, see, and hear this done multiple times every single day.
Actually it's pretty routine.

[malaise]

70. Sometimes mean is necessary

Rec

[Sunsky]

71. She was awesome

This is what good roasting looks like. She was kicking ass (left, right and center) and taking names. You go girl!

Her foul-mouth monologue was done in jest. However, the pResident uses foul language in everyday speech. He makes fun of people and name call, daily. Where are all the whiny ass tweets from the media then?
Isn't it ironic that the media, before the event were saying that the pResident is incapable of laughing at himself, and now they are the ones whining and complaining about being roasted?

[blueinredohio]

73. I didn't watch the WHCD but the "jokes" I read here on DU

sound truthful to me. You know the old adage the truth hurts.

77. Don't forget the Al Smith Dinner

Trump attacked HRC and opted not for humor.

[Paladin]

78. Nice to see our side dishing it out, instead of just taking it.

The battle lines are already drawn, no need to worry about losing hoards of voters to trump on account of a few rough (and hilarious) comments. Nice job, Michelle Wolf.

[Kirk Lover]

79. Support here. Not every joke lands. Not every joke is appreciated or liked..doesn't mean folks

should stop telling them. Hasn't stopped me.

[Ninga]

83. She was fearless!

[coeur_de_lion]

85. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kellyanne Conway's faces

Made it so worth watching. Michelle wasn't perfect but she nailed everybody. But good.

Almost felt sorry for Sarah and Kellyanne but naaaaahhhhh. Nope. They deserved it.

[Rorey]

103. I didn't feel sorry for them.

I can't even imagine a situation in which I'd have any compassion for either of them. Too late.

[honest.abe]

86. It should be our duty to insult anyone supporting or enabling a potential dictator.

[ancianita]

87. Right On to The Thrasher!

[Gothmog]

88. She had a few good jokes

[HAB911]

89. +++++++++++

[Bettie]

91. I didn't see anything particularly objectionable

a few places where the jokes just weren't funny, but every comic has those moments. Not everyone likes every joke and sometimes delivery is just off, but the majority of it was quite good.

[MarianJack]

92. Hell, f**k YES!

Piss on the rightist poor little hurt feelings!

PEACE!

[gibraltar72]

93. Why did she go easy

on Sarah Huckabee Sanders?

[floWteiuQ]

94. I enjoyed her jokes

Now I'm laughing at the losers who feel so offended.

95. I support her on principle.

It's about time somebody kicked sand back into the bully's face!

[heaven05]

99. +++

she did NO WRONG...truth hurts hypocrites, you can see it in the face of the huckster of trump BS.

[debsy]

100. The correspondent's dinner is supposed to be a "Roasting"

Michelle Wolf did a fantastic job, IMO. Her comments about the media loving Trump are spot on. All those feigning outrage, whatever their party affiliation, need look no further than the behavior of the person occupying the WH - not to mention his minions - to find more abhorrent actions that actually have a negative physical effect on real people. Give me a break, you pathetic whiners. It took a strong moral constitution to stand up there and say what we have all been thinking for the past few years. Kudos, Michelle!

[PubliusEnigma]

101. If the truth is embarrassing, so be it.

[Rorey]

102. I loved every bit of it, except for two things:

As much as I despise both McConnell and Christie, I wish people wouldn't focus on the appearance of either. The joke about Ryan getting circumcised and getting his balls taken was priceless.

[Greybnk48]

104. I LOVED HER! AND I'M PROUD OF HER AS A WOMAN!

What a fucked up country we live in to think that what she said was coarse, or vulgar, or inappropriate--

but what Trump and the Republican Party does to the lgbtq community, Blacks, Hispanics, women, Muslims, Jews, the environment, etc., DAILY--that's NOT 1000 times coarser, more vulgar, and inhumane?

I love Michelle Wolf!

[SunSeeker]

105. K & R

[Perseus]

106. Agree

She has my vote...

[lillypaddle]

107. She was spot on nt

[benld74]

108. What little I've read or heard 110% support

[SleeplessinSoCal]

109. she gave everybody there and the elephant in Michigan what they deserved.

I watched it on Youtube. They know they can rely on their ugly fan base to attack her. She did about the same level of "in your face" roasting as Colbert did with Bush on the dias about 10 years ago.

Carry on Michelle Wolf. The sky's the limit.

114. thought i'd just put this in here

since i don't get cnn and this was the first time i watched the clip

[D23MIURG23]

115. I'm glad that she used the dinner to skewer the "alt facts" crowd.

Being a pathological liar is not an alternative perspective on reality. She called Sanders, Conway and Hannity out for being liars and that needs to happen more often. Lies are lies and liars are liars. Having a white house that lies more often than it tells the truth isn't normal or acceptable.

A few of her jokes were on the petty side, but they weren't even the "mean" ones. It seems mean when she talks about Sanders being a pathological liar or says "ladies cover your drinks - Fox News is here" but those aren't actually cheap shots. Those are jokes that don't gloss over the ways that disgusting people are disgusting. The people who got it the worst at the dinner got it because the are disgusting and deserved it.

[bitterross]

119. Loved it a lot. Honesty is brutal.

It was great. She said everything I would liked to have said to them. Both to Dems and the GOP and, especially to the media that enabled 45 and continues to give him far too much deference.

[Paladin]

120. I never walked away from Kathy Griffin. Same goes for Michelle Wolf. (nt)

[usaf-vet]

121. Sanders and Conway lie to the American people everyday. The don't deserve respect.

You want respect. EARN it. WE THE PEOPLE! Deserve the truth. Deserve realist reporting of what the con man in the WH is up to.

If it means losing your job. SO BE IT. Your kids must be prou..... embarrassed!

History will not look favorably on either one of the paid liars.

[bucolic_frolic]

122. Her entire presentation

Offensive? Yes, for sure. Look at the faces on the crowd. But more than anything else she was a caricature of the Trump administration, its policies, agenda, demeanor. She threw back exactly what it has put out. It will make those attending very uncomfortable indeed. They should look at themselves, how they have enabled, how far the US has fallen, and what a trashing of decorum, procedure, precedent, and mores looks like. She rubbed them as raw as Trump has rubbed America.

[stopbush]

126. She was GREAT!

Loved every second of it.

After all these people have said and done to private citizens, Dem leaders, world leaders.......... all the lies, insults..... all the horrible legislation that is killing Americans........... I'm supposed to clutch my pearls and shed a tear because someone finally gave the bully a bloody nose? Kudos to Wolf for giving them a taste of their own medicine for once. I'm sick and tired of every punch to the gut from these slime only getting a "thank you sir, can I have another?" from the media.

Wolf is a comedian, not a politician, and she did the best job she could, with a president and staff that is a JOKE. Is the likes of Sanders and Conway weren't upset when they left, then she didn't do her job.

And if anyone thinks we should be worried about their feelings, let's just remember what this administration was built on......
