Vulgar attempts at humor fall flat at DC dinner

A writer for "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" performed at the White House Correspondent's Dinner on Saturday night. Little known and less talented Michelle Wolf predictably went after the Trump administration, but where it had been done somewhat tastefully in the past, Wolf's so-called comedy had no taste. It was disgusting, vulgar and not funny. And her voice was as annoying as Jessica Tarlov's.

Now we know why Trevor Noah isn't funny.

Some members of the White House press corps refused to stay for the extremely offensive and crude display. They got up and walked out.

"President Trump isn't here, if you haven't noticed," Wolf began. "I would drag him here myself, but it turns out the president of the United States is the one p**sy you're not allowed to grab."

That reference was to the notorious "Access Hollywood" tape from 2005 which went public just prior to the 2016 election. Many in the audience didn't appreciate that anemic attempt at humor.

Like he did last year, President Trump skipped the dinner but White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was invited as a guest of honor and was seated at the dais.

Wolf, who is definitely no feminist, attacked Sanders for her job performance, her looks, and even for her Southern roots, effectively attacking all southerners by so doing.

She later took to Twitter to defend her leftist humor against Sanders after New York Times' Maggie Haberman commended Sanders for remaining at the dinner despite her taking the [cowardly] "intense criticism of her physical appearance, her job performance, and so forth."

What courage leftists have when attacking conservatives while their cohorts look on and cheer.

Wolf responded to Haberman on Twitter: "Hey mags! All these jokes were abut her despicable behavior. Sounds like you have some thoughts about her looks though?"


Perhaps it's time for this administration to call it quits with these dinners. If Hillary Clinton was the president instead of Trump, and some comedian told the same jokes, he or she would have hell to pay.

There are plenty of places for conservatives to get their news and the mainstream media is the worst place. 

One thing is certain: the president of the White House Press Corps owes Sarah Huckabee Sanders a heartfelt apology.
