This has crossed so many lines, using p-word for a sitting POTUS, accusing media lof loving him and such harsh words for Sarah Sanders and Ivanka. Even worse than Snoop's recent mocking of Kanye West or Obama's mocking of Trump few years back.
Could be due to rising poll numbers?

Michelle Wolf Does Unto the White House as It Has Done Unto Others

“Women attacking conservative women for their looks and their jobs It’s shameful. #WHCA.” Those angry words were tweeted (https://twitter.com/mercedesschlapp/status/990429291925196801?s) by White House Communications Director Mercedes Schlapp at 11:15 p.m. on the night of the White House Correspondents’ Association’s annual dinner.

It was wise to begin her tweet with the caution that the shame was attached to women attacking conservative women. In any other case, she might have been asked about this (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/trump-seriously-20150909?page=13): “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?! I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?” Those words were spoken by then-candidate Donald Trump about then-rival Carly Fiorina, just one of his countless streams of attacks on the looks of women, conservative and otherwise. Trump also retweeted (https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/712850174838771712?lang=en) a photograph mocking the appearance of Heidi Cruz, the wife of then-candidate Ted Cruz.
One of the defining features of the Trump White House is that its staff members demand for themselves decencies and courtesies that they habitually deny to others.

It is bit odd that Trump attended White House Correspondents’ Dinner when Obama (with fake birther certificate?) was in the White House but was no show when he himself occupies White House after a legit non-colluded win.
And sending poor Sandra alone to face media like this is almost cruel, the way she was mocked sitting there alone was horrific.

I haven't watched the routine, and I'm sure she hates trump for all the wrong reasons, but I literally can't think of one thing somebody could say about a child-murdering President of the United States of America that would embarrass or offend me, unless it was something complimentary to him.

"ROAST???"

Literal roasting is too good for the latest murderous kingpin of the gang of thieves writ large.

Now that you got that out of the way, go ahead and watch it. She doesn't spend too much time on Trump, and does seem to spread it around a bit. Not that it's good, but there was one good joke about CNN...

I feel comedians were always left wing but now it is getting ridiculous. Every single late night how is unwatchable. And SNL is just not funny.

Think about just the generation before. Leno could play to any crowd. On SNL Sandler, Farley, Spade, Macdonald, Victoria Jackson, Rob Schneider were all either Republicans or at least sympathetic.

Well, I watched it and did not hear the roast I was expecting to hear after reading the OP. She said pussy a few times and about another 1/2 dozen curse/dirty words, nothing to make me clutch my damn pearls.

Also, she landed a few good jabs at the Russiagate obsessed liberal media, congress, the press in general and of course Trump and the republicans.

The Slow, Awkward Death of the White House Correspondents' Dinner

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2018/04/what-happened-at-the-white-house-correspondents-dinner/559232/

Michelle Wolf’s biting mockery of it was only the latest reminder: The annual event’s contradictions have become too heavy to bear.


Aaron P. Bernstein / Reuters

MEGAN GARBER APR 29, 2018 CULTURE

The first White House Correspondents’ Dinner was held in 1921, at the Arlington Hotel in Washington, D.C., a couple blocks north of the presidential residence. The event’s purpose was practical: to inaugurate the new officers of the group that had been formed to advocate for the interests of the journalists who kept the public informed about the doings of the American presidency. The dinner involved just 50 guests, who, in addition to the business of the evening, sang songs and made jokes and managed to have, as one attendee put it, “such fun as the Prohibition Era afforded.”

RELATED STORY

A Century of Feuding Between Presidents and the Press

The event, like so many other things in Washington, has since expanded: Today there are many more participants—some 3,000 people, a mix of journalists, politicians, and assorted power players, of the Beltway and beyond—and also more pomp, and also more circumstance. (Much more circumstance: The thing, all in all, clocks in at more than 3 hours.) The dinner has also expanded thematically: It now bills itself as a general celebration of the First Amendment—and of the broader fact that “freedom” and “freedom of the press” are effectively the same thing. In the process, the WHCD has become its own kind of media event: a reliable source of cable-news clips and Saturday-evening Twitter fodder and Sunday-morning conversation, often by way of the comedian who is invited to roast the journalists and the people they cover with the twin efficiencies of a cavernous ballroom and a live cable feed.

The Correspondents’ Dinner that took place on Saturday evening—the last Saturday in April, as per longstanding tradition—was, at least from the media-event perspective, the biggest one ever. That was in large part because the event’s invited comedian this time around, the rising star Michelle Wolf, took her “roast” mandate to a new extreme: She mocked, among others (CNN kept count): Mike Pence, Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Kellyanne Conway, Reince Priebus, Michael Cohen, Scott Pruitt, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Chris Christie, Democrats, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Vladimir Putin, multiple anchors and correspondents from CNN, Fox News as a whole, Bill O’Reilly in particular, MSNBC, Rachel Maddow, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, print journalism, television journalism, journalism in general.


“Should have done more research before you got me to do this,” Wolf said at one point, as a joke about pussy hats was met with a mix of shocked guffaws and stony silence by the live crowd.

The most striking moment of Wolf’s set, though, was when the comedian tore into the White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was representing the Trump administration on the dinner’s stage, and sitting just a few feet away from Wolf. With biting jokes like, “I love you as Aunt Lydia in The Handmaid’s Tale.” And: “Sarah Sanders burns facts and then uses them to create the perfect smokey eye.” And: “Like, what’s Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women? Oh, I know. Aunt Coulter.”

The event’s camera, magnifying the stage’s proceedings for those in the back of the ballroom, dutifully panned to Sanders, who remained notably stoic. A smattering of applause broke out at the jokes; there were a few gasps. Most of all, though, there was an enormous ballroom made silent by the power of awkwardness.



WANT TO HELP INSPIRE THE FUTURE? GIVE TO NNAM!

Overnight, accordingly—even more so than for previous events—Wolf’s performance became a matter of conversation, rendering the Correspondents’ Dinner into another kind of celebration of what the First Amendment is all about: debate. To some, Wolf’s set was evidence of the current impossibility of civility in American discourse—a series of jokes that bit with too much bite, that crossed lines, that misunderstood the distinction between “roasting” and “bullying,” that conflated “punching up” with “punching the person sitting right next to you.” To others, it was an inspired piece of comic criticism, operating in the manner of Stephen Colbert at the 2006 Correspondents’ Dinner: Wolf was speaking truth through comedy. She was addressing a ballroom full of black-tied grimace emojis, essentially, and the awkwardness of it all—the tension of it all—was the point. Because Wolf wasn’t, in the end, speaking to those 3,000 guests, or for them; she was speaking to all the people who weren’t in that room. She was the one, in her own way, holding power to account.

She was also highlighting the existential tension at the heart of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. During a time of anxiety about the fate of essential democratic norms, the dinner has served, in its awkward way, as evidence on the other side: as a reminder that some of those norms, particularly when they involve cocktail parties, can in fact have a remarkable staying power. The current president—who might well, the lore goes, have decided to run for the office after being mocked by his predecessor at the 2011 WHCD—has for two years declined to attend the dinner. (“Is this better than that phony Washington White House Correspondents’ Dinner?” Trump asked the crowd at the rally he held in Michigan as the Washington event was taking place.) The A-list celebrities who once walked the event’s red carpet (or, in this case, a step-and-repeat assembled near the escalators of the basement lobby of the Washington Hilton) have largely stopped showing up.


And yet the dinner carries on, expanded and expended, trying to answer that most loaded of questions: What does it mean to both hold power and, at the same time, to be charged with holding power to account?

On Saturday evening, in the International Ballroom of the Hilton, that question got an uncomfortable answer. Which was: Ask again later. There are two Correspondents’ Dinners, essentially, that take place each last-Saturday-of-April, and each conflicts with each other. On the one hand, there’s the dinner for the people in the room, the stuff of self-congratulation and ceremonial pomp. The United States Marine Band and the Joint Armed Forces Color Guard kicked off the dinner’s proceedings by marching down the ballroom’s central aisle with a presentation of the colors: flags, music, ritual. Ty Herndon sang the national anthem (while the crowd listened silently, hands over their hearts) and then “God Bless America” (while some in the crowd joined in). Margaret Talev, the current president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, gave a rousing speech that included the line, “We reject efforts by anyone, especially our elected leaders, to paint journalism as un-American.”

There were also roasted-beet salads with honeyed goat cheese, and dessert trays (panna cotta, cheesecake, tartlets featuring raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries) that formed a pretty assemblage of reds, whites, and blues. There were dinner plates featuring both monkfish and filets of beef: the surf and the turf, the this and the that, entrees suggesting that, despite the evidence to the contrary, it is possible to have it both ways. There was Aya Hijazi, an Egyptian-American social activist who was imprisoned for nearly three years for those activities, speaking passionately, via a pre-recorded video, about her ordeal—and the journalistic work that led to her liberation. There were journalism awards presented to reporters who cover the White house. There were announcements of the recipients of this year’s White House Correspondents’ Association scholarships—the college students who may come to serve as the next generation of White House correspondents. “This night is about you, and what you’ve accomplished,” Talev told them.


But then, there was also the screening of a satirical video featuring cartoonish renderings of President Trump and his aides. And another video, this one featuring Paul Ryan declaring, “Tonight, I say cheers to the First Amendment,” and then proceeding to make a joke about John Boehner and weed.

And, then: There was Wolf. She, on her own, was the other Correspondents’ Dinner. She was the public face of the event—the element of the dinner, apologies to the strawberry tartlets, that will be talked about and remembered. She was the star of the show. And she was the one who emerged, whether you loved her set or hated it, as the person who could most obviously claim to have engaged, that evening, in journalism’s enduring mandate: to afflict the comfortable and to comfort the afflicted.

If one person can eclipse an entire evening’s worth of celebration—the military show, the scholarships, the awards, the urgent discussion of the profound necessity of press freedom—that’s a good sign that something should change about the evening. There’s the Correspondents’ Dinner as an event, and the Correspondents’ Dinner as a norm; both would benefit, at this point, from scaling back to become something smaller, more intimate, more meaningful—less about celebrity, less about comedy, and more about journalism. A smaller dinner would be more boring, definitely, but also more in line with journalism’s own best vision of itself: as a watchdog, as a safeguard, as an extension of the curiosity of the American people.

The Correspondents’ Dinner, after all, has long been a matter of controversy, an event criticized by press critics both professional and amateur for its tendency to erode, in its flurry of glad-handing and elbow-rubbing, the lines separating journalists from the people they are meant to hold to account. What the critics are acknowledging implicitly is that journalism has expanded in another way since those first White House correspondents gathered in 1921: The press has become, also, the media. CNN anchors and New York Times reporters do their work within a vast system that mingles news and entertainment. They exist in a world in which many journalists, by default—many of the journalists, at least, who gather in the International Ballroom of the Washington Hilton every April—double as celebrities. It’s time to acknowledge that and proceed accordingly. Power and victimhood, jokes and seriousness, steak and fish: You can have it both ways, until you can’t.

One of the defining features of the Trump White House is that its staff members demand for themselves decencies and courtesies that they habitually deny to others. Can’t we disagree without being disagreeable? they wonder—and then tweet that the former director of the FBI is a “slime ball” and that Hillary Clinton should be jailed.
President Trump calls the press “enemies of the people.” His wife, then the future first lady, shrugged off (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/apr/28/julia-ioffe-journalist-melania-trump-antisemitic-abuse) murderous anti-Semitic abuse of a Jewish journalist as “provoked” by the journalist’s reporting on Melania Trump’s Slovenian origins. Trump regularly shares (http://money.cnn.com/2017/07/02/media/president-trump-cnn-video/index.html?iid=EL) on Twitter images of fantasy violence against the press.

Let me guess? Wolf is jewish? I don't know what pumps through the veins to produce such a fervent admiration for the state.

Dunno, but I bet it is the opposite of that which pumps through the veins of every other type of people who are staunch statists. Btw, you do know that she lambasted the mainstream media, power elite and the congress for doing such a poor job at running things in her routine? I would ask you to give it a try but your prejudice would block you from actually giving it a chance.

Then again, if you had problem with Jewish people, then why did you support Trump in the last election?

[Kilrain]

Not really a fan of potty humor, but I also don't really have a problem with it. I listened to the whole thing while playing solitaire, and my only real problem with it is that it wasn't funny. I remember that I chuckled a few times, but I don't remember a single punchline. It came off as lazy writing.

Overall, I think comedy has gotten political to the point that it forgot to be funny. Comedians seem too busy attacking whatever "the other side" is, and less busy coming up with material that actually makes you go ha-ha.

On Sunday, Netflix aired a “Salute to Abortion,” hosted by “comedian” Michelle Wolf, who closed the segment with a star-spangled, flag-waving, drum corps declaration: “God bless abortion!”

On her weekly Netflix program, “The Break with Michelle Wolf,” Wolf used Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s announced retirement to tout abortion rights and demean pro-life Americans, with “jokes” like:

“And, I know, some people call themselves ‘pro-life’- but, ‘pro-life' is a propaganda term that isn’t real, like healthy ice cream and handsome testicles.”

Wolf closed by marching out on stage in a majorette’s costume, accompanied by a drum corps, and a huge banner reading, “The Break’s 10th Annual Salute to Abortion.” She then threw confetti after each of the following declarations:

“Abortion, I salute you!

“Women, if you need an abortion, get one!

“If you want an abortion, get one!

“If you’re not pregnant but you think you eventually might be and want to order a future abortion, get one!

“If you’re pregnant and you want to be pregnant, don’t get one!

“It’s up to you, and it doesn’t have to be a big deal. It’s actually a great deal. It’s about $300 – that’s like six movie tickets. Movie tickets: a big deal!

“And women, don’t forget: you have the power to give life and men will try to control that – don’t let them!

“God bless abortions and God bless America!”

Wolf made national headlines and sparked outrage as this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner host, when she personally attacked White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was in the audience.
