Attacking a person’s physical appreance is so Trumpish. Fortunately, Michelle Wolf can’t be accused of having gone that low.

i guess they couldn’t get an A list comedian. i have never heard of Michelle Wolf and she doesn’t sound very funny to me.

That is ironic considering Wolf has been criticised for negatively commenting on Huckabee-Sanders’ appearance.

Wolf did not criticize Huckabee-Sanders’s appearance.

But you have heard of her now, which was exactly the point of her performance.

so she didn’t criticize her eye shadow or make up?

No.
"I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. She burns facts, and then she uses the ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies.”

This seems like a compliment on her eyes, and a criticism of her lying.

A good tweet on the matter:

Okay, fair enough. I thought she had done, because I’d seen some of the comments criticising her for going too far. Doesn’t seem too bad in reality.
 
That tweet was a slam dunk assessment.
Sign her up for the WNBA.

The abortion comments - apart from themistress part - made me cringe. The jokes about Trumps wealth, had some good moments. Her comments on the the complicity of the press in the Trump fiasco were what really burned.

It is interesting that the criticism has been framed as though she attacked Sanders’s looks. It would be clever, if it were not so transparent.
 
That’s how I interpret that joke to mean.

I didn’t see it. I understand she was crass.

I don’t understand complaining about her performance as being crass when she’s a comedian and not the leader of the free world.

and she will quickly be forgotten. i will pay as much attention to her in the future as
i do Kathy Griffin.
 
Lucille Ball was a comedian - i don’t really have a name for Kathy Griffin or this lady.

lol this is such a weak burn. She’s ugly and not famous! I’m sure Wolf will never be seen in the spotlight again after this withering barrage of wit.

Excellent points and great suggestion. However, for many anti-abortion extremists, they regrettably will not or cannot see the big picture.

And discredit to those that walked out when she did not?

I didn’t say that did I? Not anywhere in my response. Good for those that left. However, at the time of my initial post the headline and story dealt largely with issues regarding Ms. Huckabee so that is what I responded to… The others left because Wolf’s comments were cruel and vulgar.

My response was how I saw her comments on Huckabee. I can’t imagine why anyone would find the things she said funny. I could see where someone who didn’t like Trump would find a sad pleasure in watching him or his staff be ridiculed. Wolf appeared to be reading all her lines and her delivery I felt was poor. Most of the posters supporting Wolf on this thread are the ones who routinely speak negatively about Trump and his staff.
 
Could everyone just take a slow deep breath, say a prayer and count to 10 before another post?
