How did you decide on Michelle Wolf to entertain at this year’s dinner?

I liked the idea of someone who is not known as a political comedian, someone who is known more as a cultural comedian. Her brand traditionally has not been American politics. Many of her jokes are about the differences between men and women, but as you might have noticed, 2017 was a pretty important year to raise awareness and questions about the standing of American women in society, and in the media as well as politics and Wall Street and entertainment. I think she is an interesting person, too. She had all of these other careers before she fell into comedy.

When he hires them they are wonderful, only the best. When they leave after a couple months, they are worthless scum.

But seriously, some people need to own their decisions. She made the decision to have Wolf. If she feels that strongly about it, she should resign.

The boorish unfunny routine from the comedian has brought us all one step closer to fascism.

A dumbass 'celebration' of two professions, one that's SUPPOSED to be holding the other one accountable.

Yet they show us once a year they're all in the same elite boat

WTF?

And when organizations demonstrate their willingness to be bullied, they're counting their days to extinction. To bad - WHCD was always a seasonal must see. Looks like from here on out it's going to be an annual suck-up-fest. Hope the food is good cuz nothing else about it will be worth the ticket.

Unity over truth .
Ok at least the WHca put it in print they will change the dinner format if needed to appease certain groups

Maybe next year having a magic act seems appropriate (all the illusions accepted as pure magic )
(or kimmel suggested hire a juggler )
A taped message from the president perhaps would be thier idea of unity perhaps a story

Most are already ridiculous going to the pressers and acting like it is a normal WH that they are reporting about.
