BTRTN: Who's Really the Awful Comedian? Michelle Wolf, or Rudy Giuliani?

Born to Run the Numbers asks who deserves to be called out for going over the line... Michelle Wolf, or Rudy Giuliani?

http://www.borntorunthenumbers.com/2018/05/btrtn-whos-really-awful-comedian.html

Excerpt: "If you did not have the time to watch the full nineteen minutes of Michelle Wolf’s performance, probably all you know is that she made a joke that appeared to be a harsh insult about Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ physical appearance. In fact, it was actually a joke about how often, how effortlessly, and how relentlessly Sarah Sanders lies to the citizens who pay her salary. If Sarah Sanders was offended by the portion of the joke that made light of her heavy-duty eye make-up, then the White House Press Secretary is packing even less intellectual voltage than we had previously presumed, which was somewhere between dental floss and frozen pizza.
Just for the record, every time I see Sarah Huckabee Sanders flinging her bulbous, odious, self-righteous, and pompous brand of bullshit from the White House podium, I am visually reminded of Ursula the Sea-Witch in The Little Mermaid....I have wanted to use that joke a number of times, but a small voice in the back of my head always reminded me that liberals don’t make jokes about physical appearance. That’s something that only the President of the United States is allowed to do.

"Please tell me why Donald Trump is allowed to vilify the physical appearance of campaign rivals, physically handicapped reporters, and women who accuse him of sexually predatory behavior, and liberals are crucified for even stepping near this territory."

Here are the last two paragraphs:

Maybe the Washington Press Corps should invite a comedian that doesn't represent competition... you know, one of those old-fashioned clowns who tries to make people laugh by appearing oafish, lacking impulse control, ignorant, and completely out of touch with reality.

Maybe next year they should hire Rudy Giuliani. Now that guy is a joke.
