OK, listen, I was FINE with the Wolf jokes UNTIL she went after ERIC! The red line has been CROSSED!

During her nearly 20 minute appearance at the dinner, Wolf ridiculed the White House, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and even the press, telling the assembled media: “You guys are obsessed with Trump. Did you use to date him? Because you pretend like you hate him, but I think you love him.”

“I think what no one in this room wants to admit is that Trump has helped all of you,” she added. “He couldn’t sell steaks or vodka or water or college or ties or Eric. But he has helped you. He’s helped you sell your papers and your books and your TV. You helped create this monster and now you’re profiting off of him. And if you’re going to profit off of Trump, you should at least give him some money because he doesn’t have any.”

He only cares about himself. I kinda doubt he'll even notice the "Diaper Genie" joke about Ivanka.

I am sorry, but that description seems accurate. Since her Republican Convention speech, I have pretty much so thought she was full of shit. She is like a fairly good shit salesman. I know she is full of shit and I am not buying her shit, but she has a good presentation.

The thing is, she's not only full of it, she's also just not very bright.

While I was waiting in line to see Hillary prior to the election, I had the pleasure of talking to someone who had gone to college with Don Jr. Someone else in our conversation group had said something about Ivanka (aka Diaper Genie) being smart. This guy disagreed. He also said that Don Jr. wasn't always the jerk he is now. He said that 45 never gave any money to the kids. He paid what he had to pay to Ivana, and any money they got was from her. This guy said that he often covered Don Jr.'s share when they'd go out to eat or something.

I am tired of the attacks on Eric simply for his unfortunate looks. He's fair game for what he's done, but Jesus I'm tired of having it pointed out that he is unfortunate in the beauty department. And I'm not someone who objects to people's looks being made fun of; it's just that this has gone on and on and on, and I'm tired of it.

That glazed, vacant stare is mocked because it reflects his soulless stupidity. No one is saying he is ugly, just stupid.

Again, this is mocking behavior/stupidity, not his physical attributes.

They all got off lucky. If their external appearance accurately reflected their souls every damn one of them would be "bag over their head" ugly. Instead, they are kinda like candy coated roaches.

I never get tired of hating on that entire group of miscreants, and I fully intend to keep it up until they are either in jail or out of the limelight.

I had a French teacher in elementary school who used a Tampax box to hold vocabulary flash cards. She had cut off the top of the box that had the big Tampax logo and it only said Tampax in tiny lettets on the bottom; the rest of the box was covered in a cute blue fleur-de-lis pattern (very French!). I guess she figured 5th graders wouldn't notice. The kids snickered, but it was perfect sized for 3×5 cards. True story.

Ivanka, on the other hand, serves no useful purpose. She is worse than useless. She is harmful. When she is not busy violating the emoluments clause, she offers glossy packaging to sell her father's anti-woman agenda.

The thing is, if we didn't hate the whole damned family so much we probably wouldn't even mention his looks. I wish the focus would be on actions, not looks. I wasn't fond of what Michelle Wolf said about McConnell and Christie either. McConnell didn't choose his neck. I will never approve of some of the things he has said. His "make sure Obama fails" statement is inexcusable and unforgivable. Sure, Christie is the one who puts the food in his mouth, but obesity is a huge problem in this country and it's a difficult battle for many. Christie is crooked as hell. That's enough to focus on, without making comments about his girth.

As far as Sarah HuckaSanders goes, I didn't hear anything disparaging about her appearance from Wolf. She mentioned the smokey eye thing. That's makeup. I didn't think Wolf crossed any line with that. Conway's name? Well, if she wasn't so free with "alternative facts", she wouldn't get ridiculed for it.
