De Niro tells White House Correspondents' Association to "strap on your balls"

[Va Lefty]

“There was a lot of truth in Michelle Wolf’s jokes,” De Niro said at Monday’s Lincoln Center gala honoring Helen Mirren, according to multiple outlets. “And the bullies and the liars are still intimidated by the strength and the truth. Where we run into trouble is when we allow the bullies and liars to dictate the conversation.”

"He then had a message for the association itself: “Shame on them. Stand up, strap on your balls and deal.”

1. Oh no! Sexism!

Quick, more victim's mantles and fainting couches. An entertainer has once again said mean things about the supine press corpse. Did I spell that right?

2. So, the left has DeNiro, the RW has James Woods...

the left has "the Boss" Bruce Springsteen, the RW has Ted Nugent...

the left has Merle Streep, the RW has Pamela Anderson...

the left has Tina Feye, the RW has Victoria Jackson...

and on and on and on.... Hmmm am I seeing a trend (rather unfortunate for the RW?)

3. From his mouth to everyone's ears!

Note to journalists: if you do your jobs... you know, all that Constitutional Free Press shit you learned in college, and do all the crazy stuff that once well respected Fourth Estate was famous for, comedians will not ridicule your lack of effort and laugh at your misplaced umbrage.

4. Grand advice from De Niro, WHPC!

7. And the bullies and the liars are still intimidated by the strength and the truth.

Where's the apologies and corrections? A large number of correspondents lied about Wolf's joke, the WHCA owes her an apology. Wolf did the job she was hired to do, journalist need to do their job and correct the record.
