Michelle Wolf was a huge success.

[leftyladyfrommo]

She has managed to get everyone talking about just about everything. That is what a great political comic does. And she did it in spades.

Good for her. We needed to be stirred up.

1. I loved her bit! It was a thing of beauty!

2. Michelle Wolf spoke truth to power and the powerful did not like it.

Michelle Wolf is absolutely brilliant. My favorite jokes were the call and response "How broke is he?...." She outed the Washington press corps' collaboration, corruption and enabling of fascism and corruption. They were shocked to be revealed for what they are doing.

The fact that people like Chris Cillizza, Mika and Maggie Haberman are calling Michelle a bully show just how out of touch they really are. They are using the word "bully" completely incorrectly. which falls in line with the tenets of propaganda straight from Goebbels. Tell a lie often enough and people will believe it. Cillizza, Mika, Joe, Milbank and Haberman etc..are all collaborators, not journalists.

I have edited to include the correct Goebbels quote:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

Thanks for your post.

3. She has gotten millions of dollars worth of promoting her new TV program on Netflix.

From the Daily Show to her own show is quite an accomplishment.

4. I can't get Diaper Genie out of my head.....

it is so appropriate

[democratisphere]

5. No apologies necessary or required.

Michelle Wolf did a great job and if the thin skinned redumbliCONs can't take a joke; we have to put up with their joke of a president, his family, his cabinet and administration everyday for more than a year. Get over it whiners?

6. I was thinking that, too.. The pundit press

is getting called out for their fauxrage

Link to tweet

trump's abuses are being re-hashed.. good to remind everyone so it doesn't get lost down the rabbit hole

Mahalo for your OP, leftyladyfrommo

[KPN]

7. What she said and did took real courage. She put her career and financial future on the line

to speak frankly and truthfully about the most powerful person on the planet (which the shit-for-brains is whether we like it or not). Unlike the piggish shit-for-brains who, given his position, shows nothing more than misplaced arrogance and cowardice by speaking his mind truthfully.

[Thekaspervote]

8. Yes she has.. great post!

9. Good Job Michelle - You Hurt A Few Deplorable Enablers Feelings

Keep it up.

[Cary]

10. Agreed.

And those who wish to silence her must be repudiated.

11. Now About That 4 Billion In Free Advertising You Gave Trump - Let's Talk

You created this monster, all to sell advertising.

Infotainment.

And to think of all the bad crap Trump has done his entire life YOU IGNORED 100% while you were crying "Hillary Emails" every second of every day like you were on some kind of witch hunt.

Our media as a whole sucks as bad as Republicans, and their god Trump.

[BobTheSubgenius]

12. Contrast the truth in the OP...

...with the butthurt of the easily-offended. F'em. They don't deserve to be comfortable. In fact, it's a patriotic duty to make them UNcomfortable.

As uncomfortable as possible, as often as possible, for as long as it takes.

[moreland01]

13. I feel like . . .

if I get any more "stirred up" my head is going to explode. I'd never heard of Michelle Wolf but I love how she stuck it to all the right people. As the trumpers said "She said what we're all thinking.". Good on her!

[SunSeeker]

14. K & R

[Bonx]

15. agree. I don't know why most of the press about it is so bad.

[ollie10]

16. An unqualified success!!! Or was it?

Andrea Mitchell, the NBC News correspondent, tweeted that an “apology is owed” to the press secretary. Her network colleague Mika Brzezinski wrote that “watching a wife and mother be humiliated on national television for her looks is deplorable.”

Several reporters who cover the White House approached Ms. Sanders in the Hilton ballroom to express sympathy in the immediate aftermath of Ms. Wolf’s monologue. Later, at a windswept after party hosted by NBC News, Ms. Sanders appeared in good spirits as reporters swarmed her. (She even took time to chastise one journalist for asking a question at a news conference that she disliked.)

Late on Sunday, Margaret Talev, president of the Correspondents’ Association, issued a statement acknowledging “dismay” from members about Ms. Wolf’s performance.

“Last night’s program was meant to offer a unifying message about our common commitment to a vigorous and free press,” Ms. Talev wrote. “Unfortunately, the entertainer’s monologue was not in the spirit of that mission.”

27. Yes, we know you don't think it was. But it was. Not least for the reasons listed in the OP.

[OriginalGeek]

29. Easy

they are all wrong. Ms. Wolf was right and right on target.

[niyad]

17. listening to her now.

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. I've watched some of her comedy routines. She is hilarious.

She is out there on YouTube for everyone to see. It wasn't a secret what her comedy was like.

They hired her and she just did what she does. Surprise.

There a lot of really good female stand up comedians out and about right now. They are really funny. And really honest. We need to support them.

[marlakay]

19. Every single woman on view

Including the republican one stood up for her and free speech.

They said Trump says worse!

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. I don't understand why Twitter lets Trump get away with the awful stuff he puts out there.

He calls people horrible names, he makes fun of people, he threatens. It is all against their rules.

[marlakay]

31. I know its like our side isn't allowed

To do anything slightly off but they can do or say anything and its ok explained away.

The fact that a good chunk of them are Christians is beyond the pale! I hold both the congregations and the pastors responsible for allowing this to continue.

If that huge part of his base had spoken out and said stop this or we will withhold our votes they would have.

But knowing they got them with the abortion votes they don’t care and will do or say anything.

[cbdo2007]

21. Agree. She just went from being a nobody to one of the top trending names in the US.

And doing so, highlighting how terrible the Trump admin is. It was a resounding success for all of us.

[Squinch]

26. I love that. Her career is made. I hope to hear more from her.

[MaryMagdaline]

22. Patriot act, not just comedic act

She did her job. The press needs to do its job.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

23. Absolutely

The dislike for what she did that is being expressed on here is disappointing.

Thanks for letting me see a positive one!

25. She told the truth about liars. I loved it.

[Anon-C]

28. Right! AND demonstrated where the Press is with 45.
