The Farcical Fury Over the White House Correspondence Dinner


Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes 04 seconds


There has been much ado made about the White House Correspondence Dinner this past Saturday night. The scuttlebutt is about comedian Michelle Wolf's performance, which some deemed excessive and over the top. I for one want to unequivocally condemn Ms. Wolf's unseemly, mean-spirited, crass and vulgar attacks upon the assembled media and Trump administration officials who were her targets. Ms. Wolf incivility has diminished the press, the first amendment and our democracy and she should be ashamed. 

Just kidding. 

I think, if anything, Michelle Wolf went far too easy on the collection of sycophants and psychopaths sunning themselves on the radiance of their own self-importance at the D.C. Hilton. The fact that so many in the political and media establishment have their panties so tightly in a bunch over her performance is testament to Ms. Wolf's comedic success. Here is her performance in its entirety. 

According to the internets, D.C.'s elite were horrified at Wolf's verbal assault on White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in particular. Members of the Press Corps have said that they were shocked and appalled that Wolf had the temerity to make fun of Sanders to her face…which says less about the character of Michelle Wolf and more about the character of the Press Corps. 

The consensus among the narcissistically flaccid news folk was that Sanders is just a lady doing her job and it is in bad taste to aggressively roast her. I wholeheartedly agree…but then again I would as I am one of those people who also gets irritated because every single documentary or film about World War II always makes Hitler out to be the bad guy*. 

Sarah Sanders is a grown woman who took a job protecting and defending Trump out of blind ambition. The Washington Press Corps routinely tells us that Trump is an unstable, Russia-colluding traitor who is a dangerous threat to our democracy…so why is it out of bounds to assail Sanders who's job is to prop Trump up? If Sanders wants the job of Trump's press secretary, than the price she should pay for that is unending scorn from the public (and press) that think he is a danger to the Republic.

Hugh Hewitt, a man who looks like he compulsively sodomizes ventriloquist dummies, wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post today defending Sanders where he declared Wolf's performance "a fail", which sort of describes his every attempt to smile while not appearing to be a pedophile*. 




Andrea Mitchell of NBC News, tweeted in defense of Sanders, "Apology is owed to Press. Sec. and others grossly insulted by Michelle Wolf".  I also think Andrea Mitchell owes America an apology for being a mendacious shill for Israel who reeks of formaldehyde from fucking Alan Greenspan with "irrational exuberance", just like he fucked our economy. With all of that said, I must admit that I do deeply respect Andrea Mitchell as a news woman, most especially for Neil Armstrong's historic landing on her face*.

…Andrea Mitchell (NBC News)!

Another nitwit to speak up in defense of Sanders was lifetime nepotism award winner Mika Brzezinski, co-host of the dreadful Morning Joe on MSNBC. Brzezisnki wrote "watching a wife and mother be humiliated on national television for her looks is deplorable". Why is that so deplorable yet making fun of Trump's appearance on national television is alright? So much for treating women as equals. And why is it so much worse because she is a wife and mother, would it be cool if she were a post-menopausal, filthy whore* like…I don't know…Andrea Mitchell…or Mika Brzezinski? The real kicker in regards to Mika is that Wolf did not even make fun of Sanders for her looks…which is quite a show of comedic restraint since Sanders is such a target rich environment.

The problem, of course, is not making fun of Trump and Sanders, the problem is selective outrage from that collection of entitled buffoons of the fourth estate. Andrea Mitchell, Mika Brzezinski and Hugh Hewitt had no problem with Dubya joking about not finding WMD's, or Obama joking about drones, both of which caused the deaths of actual, living, breathing human beings, some of whom were even…gasp…wives and mothers!

Andrea Mitchell, Mika Brzezinski and Hugh Hewitt aren't up in arms that their colleagues at NBC, Brian Williams and Joy Reid, both exposed as bald-faced liars, Reid as recently as just last week, are still employed and in good standing at their "news" organization.

Andrea, Mika and Hugh have never called out NBC News for hiring Ken Dilanian to be their head national security reporter even though he was proven to be a stenographer for the intelligence community who, while working for the LA Times, routinely emailed his articles to the CIA for them to read, edit and approve. 

Andrea, Mika and Hugh also never cried foul over NBC's obfuscation and outright manipulation of the story surrounding Richard Engel's "kidnapping" in Syria. Engel lied about the details of that story in order to heighten the drama, and NBC blatantly lied about the actuals facts of that story. 

DOPPELGANGERS:&nbsp; John Kerry and...

And of course, the holy trinity of idiocy, Andrea, Mika and Hugh never decried the flag waving moronity of NBC News that blindly regurgitated the Bush administration line on Iraq, including Saint Tim Russert, who years after the invasion lamented that no one called him during the run-up to the war to tell him that the WMD story was bullshit.

Andrea, Mika and Hugh are non-plussed that NBC hired Nicole Wallace, who worked as White Hosue Communications Director for the Bush administration that shamelessly lied to start a war in Iraq, and used rendition and torture. NBC also routinely uses pundits, such as Bill Kristol, who were pivotal in arguing for the illegal war in Iraq and the war crimes of rendition and torture.

This trio also never cried foul over GE CEO Jack Welch demanding the NBC News division declare Bush the winner of the 2000 election on election night when the result was still in doubt, which quickly set the narrative that Bush was the legitimate winner in the public's mind.


It is ironic that Michelle Wolf made a joke about her working at Bear Stearns in 2008, because Andrea, Mika and Hugh also haven't demanded that the vacuous Jim Cramer of CNBC's Mad Money, who assured his audience that Bear Stearns was totally fine on March 11, 2008, and told people to not pull their money from the company, be fired. A week later Bear Stearns went under…sadly it didn't take Jim Cramer's career with it. 

Engel, Dilanian, Williams and Reid are all currently employed by NBC News and have suffered no major consequences to their careers for being opportunistic liars and journalistic frauds…but it is Michelle Wolf who has sullied the good name of American journalism by telling off-color jokes.

To be clear, I think Michelle Wolf did fine the other night, but don't confuse that with me thinking she is actually funny. The reason I don't think she is funny is that it has been scientifically proven that women are incapable of being funny*. I do think she was insightful though, which is also remarkably rare for a woman*. 

The National Press Corps have failed at their job, and they are angry at Michelle Wolf for calling them out on it. Wolf ended her remarks by declaring that the press created Trump and they actually love to hate him, which is entirely correct.

The media is pissed at Wolf because they have no interest in the truth, only in a "certain kind of truth". They also have no interest in really protecting the First Amendment, as evidenced by their unbridled glee at RT (and Al Jazeera could be next) being forced to register as an agent of a foreign power. 

The public knows the press is full of shit and is growing more and more fed up with it. The posturing and phony virtue signaling surrounding Michelle Wolf's performance only add fuel to the fire of the growing hatred of the mainstream media in this country….and I do not speak of hate lightly.

The mainstream press better wake up and soon because the only thing that Americans can agree on is that our media is malignantly awful. When the shit hits the fan, the blades will cut the media first, of that I can assure you. 

My piece of advice for the press corps is this…learn to take a joke…either that or prepare to take a punch. 

In conclusion, here is my glorious dream scenario for the next White House Correspondence Dinner…where that masturbatorial clusterfuck is turned into a bonfire of the elites! 

*denotes a joke….the jokes, including the Doppelgänger Game, were meant to show how being uncivil really looks, and that in comparison Michelle Wolf's material was rather tepid and tame.

*Also…If people are offended by those joke then my defense is the same as Joy Reid's, I simply do not believe I wrote all the hateful things contained in this article..so I cannot be held responsible for them. My best guess is that Russian hackers did it.
