Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Michelle Wolf at the White House Correspondents' Dinner

Two items of note, then I need to go back to ignoring the words and rhetoric, because I always feel that the words are distracting us from somebody's nefarious actions. First, an interview with Ms Wolf in the Hollywood Reporter prior to the WHCD wherein she stated she fully expected to bomb.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Michelle Wolf at the White House Correspondents' Dinner

I agree - if Trump, or even Sanders standing in for Trump, had closed it would be different, because participation signals the kind of underlying mutual respect, even if grudging and institutional, that I referred to earlier. This is what provides the context that takes the mean spirited edge off.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Michelle Wolf at the White House Correspondents' Dinner

The point Kevin raises is worth exploring. If Sanders had opted to speak at the dinner, either before or after Wolf (I have no idea if this was even on the table, so this is very hypothetical), would the criticism/outrage be muted?  I don't know how funny she could be in this setting, as

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Michelle Wolf at the White House Correspondents' Dinner

This is not a big deal, but it is the kind of little detail that draws me down the rabbit hole. Here are the two jokes: “I have to say I’m a little star-struck. I love you as Aunt Lydia in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’ Mike Pence, if you haven’t seen it, you would love it.” (Joke 1) “I actually really

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Michelle Wolf at the White House Correspondents' Dinner

I am wondering why I am reading so much outrage by liberal white women that Wolf made fun of Huckabee’s looks. The maybelline joke was not particularly funny, but it was not a know on SHS appearance. I thought the Handmaidens Tale joke was better - both funnier and sharper - but also not a joke

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Michelle Wolf at the White House Correspondents' Dinner

Wolf’s set was exactly consistent with her act. What I never get about this show is how they howl (I just heard none stuffed shirt journalist all a titter that she used the word “tampon”) when comics use their well established voice. If you don’t like Wolf (like Dave, I do not - I don’t mute her

[TV orNotTV] Re: Michelle Wolf at the White House Correspondents' Dinner

I can't speak to Wolf's standup, but I invariably muted her appearances on The Daily Show. It wasn't just her incredibly-annoying voice; it was that I found her material particularly unfunny, and the combination made it time to turn down the volume. I'm glad, though, she called the
