Hey Joe Scum and Mica

Last edited Mon Apr 30, 2018, 10:13 AM - Edit history (1)

All you so called journalists and hosts took part in the Hillary attacks and that was not at the behest of a comedienne. And Don the Con goes after everyone. Go Cheney yourselves! Bravo Michelle Wolf.

Of course she thinks they are insults because she's such an out of touch rich twit who thinks the Aunt Lydia reference is about the appearance of the actress who portrays the character.

The smokey eye is about the burned truth used to create a perfect smokey eye makeup - not an appearance dig

Aunt Lydia again is about the torture with lies whispered in our ears every effing day- not an appearance dig.

Not everything is about looks, Mika. The comedian was being deadly serious. About the truth. Something journalists should spend their lives uncovering, rather than covering the poutrage over appearances. The truth about SHS and her boss is very ugly.

If being preternaturally thin, having symmetrical features and no original thoughts in your head are the prerequisites for a media/TV gig as a sidekick, she hit the lotto. Now turn slight to your left Mika so the breeze whipping through you head will hit Joe and tussle his hair...smile wider please....good job!

keep trashing her and Joe when they are now all about trashing trump et al? Maybe folks here do not ever forget the past and ignore what is going on in front of them now. My point is that we need all the help we can get.

12. Why?
Mon Apr 30, 2018, 08:58 AM
Apr 2018

I will tell you why!

Joe and Mika went on and on about our good friend, Donald, sucking up to him, bragging about how they played golf at this courses!

They allowed Trump to call in every morning during the campaign, even when other stations began to refuse his calls.

They did not turn on Trump until he threatened to expose their affair and made fun of Mika showing up bleeding from her latest face lift.

Then they turned on him. So spare me, Joe and Mika! You worked hard to get Trump elected!

Spare me the hypocracy now!

forget recent history, like how tough trump and trumpies act when they are calling out others, then how flaky they get when on the receiving end. Trump, trumpies, M&J always count on us to take the high road and back down, while they gather more support calling us weak or indecisive and lose power. Sometimes fighting back is good for the relationship.

“wife and mother” Hillary Clinton felt when she was trashed nonstop - not just for her politics but for her looks, her clothes, her expressions, her voice, her marriage. She said not a word in defense or sympathy.

So, Mika, please stfu already.

I have not forgotten when she said HRC needed to get down from her high horse. The hypocrisy is beyond billionaire rich.

It wasn't a singular focus and there was a good bit of praise for a lot of other jokes. The takeaway I got was that the dinner itself is problematic and has been for years (true) and that these are not normal times and it shouldn't have happened.

I came away from the routine thinking that Wolfe basically played the role of Trump at the dinner and called out everyone in his style.

when I heard Mika whining about this. The Handmaids Tale reference was about her being an "Uncle Tom" to women.

Sure, the media needs to get it right now more than ever. But this was a comedy routine.

They are too far up their own ass's . Michelle wolf said a lot of home truths and they have chosen to ignore them in favour of righteous indignation in defence of serial liar from the white house podium.

They pushed the Iraq war. They belittled Gore,even his change of clothing style.

They pursued Hillary,repeated every lie, shoved Trump down our throat 24/7. They are still doing it today.

I have tuned them out. Elite toadies.

I am so glad I watched this stress relieving comedienne. I laughed out loud. Then was very happy, a high profile snubbing of the liars, cheaters, robbers, con artists, male and female, one con stands out among many, grifters, racists, sexists, homophobes that are so-called leaders of the GOP and of the WH who is a depraved evil human being. I double down!!!!! "Bravo Michelle Wolf" and to your truth also.

The Media are the worst hypocrites of all. Bunch of power sucking toadies.

They need to praise the real Journailists who actually give us real news while they spend their time being self important toadies sitting in air conditioned offices.

Mon Apr 30, 2018, 09:19 AM
Apr 2018

When Stephen Colbert provided the after-dinner entertainment at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner, he spoke in the character of the clueless right-wing pundit he portrayed on his Comedy Central show. In my opinion, Colbert's well developed material and finely honed delivery contained more than enough clever set ups, witty twists and humorous punch lines to earn his performance high marks.

She emailed me right back,that it was nice to have friends.

That was when Republicans removed her from her front row seat.

President Obama even came out with a Birthday cupcake for her.

What a grand Journalist she was.

RIP, Helen!

Rachel? She is fearless, but also a pundit.
