This is about all we need to know about last night's dinner:
(https://www.bizpacreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/GettyImages-952528568.jpg)
Scion Kelly (L) and Parkland shooting survivor and activist David Hogg attend the 2018 White House Correspondents’ Dinner at Washington Hilton on April 28, 2018 in Washington, DC.

Story at BizPac Review (https://www.bizpacreview.com/2018/04/29/comedian-crosses-way-over-line-at-wh-press-dinner-sarah-sanders-endures-mean-sexist-attack-629238): Comedian crosses way over line at WH press dinner; Sarah Sanders endures mean, sexist attack.

Too bad that guy on the left had to wear his little brother's suit.

There is tremendous irony to the fact that Michelle Wolf, in making the media look nasty and Democrats spitefully awful, will be hailed as a hero by precisely those groups.

michelle wolf reminds us that denigrators of women, are often women who use politics as an excuse for physical ridicule. the media calls that a "roast." if it were a conservative doing so, it would be called misogyny.

That @PressSec sat and absorbed intense criticism of her physical appearance, her job performance, and so forth, instead of walking out, on national television, was impressive.

Damn! That was horrible. I'm not talking about Sarah or Trump or anyone else. It was brutally unfunny. I couldn't finish it. I don't believe the 'laughs' on the video. I don't believe anyone found that crap 'funny'.

They had to have a laugh track machine connected to the speakers. They had to.

This Wolf woman, whoever she is, I never heard of her, is an anomaly. She has dark skin but looks White and has a Northeast Jewish accent. Where did all that come from? I'll bet her history is interesting, to say the least.

Trump was certainly right not to go. Next year there will be no one there from the White House at all. Now, it has nothing to do with 'correspondents'. It is just a Bash Trump meeting of Leftwing wackos. There is no point in attending it.

Let those guys all circle jerk each other. Make each other feel good and important. But leave me out of it.

Good people trust in civility. The Left trusts and honors nothing. They have no self respect. They no respect for anything at all. It is hard for good people to grasp how these animals live.

I'm sure they will not be there next year. And that is good. Let all these rabid idiots self-congratulate each other alone. Sarah and Kellyanne only validated the whole thing by being there. I do not think they will make that mistake again.

They had a point to prove, and they did.  They won't be back next year...let the Press bunch yuck it up all by themselves next year.  This used to be an event where the "Opponents" could get together and show what good sports they are, but the Press has reduced it to a mean-spirited two-hour hate.

Now everybody knows what we have known about the Press for a long time.

The "locker room talk" that Trump supporters defended was made in a public interview, and was definitely made for public consumption.

No Trump supporter who defended Trump's bragging about molesting women should care one whit about what is said about him.

The faux outrage about trash talking a trash talker is hypocritical from those who have stalwartly defended Trump's trash talk.

That's why I can't take any of this faux outrage today seriously. This has been going on for a while. Both sides are guilty of it and both sides feign outrage when it is done against them. We've been listening for over two years to vile things Trump has said and being told, "he just wasn't politically correct, he says what others are thinking...." Everything that was said last night could have come from Trump's Twitter feed about Rosie or Megyn Kelly. . . All those things could have come from a free republic thread about Michelle Obama or come from a DU thread before that about Laura Bush. This is what society has become and we only need a mirror to see the blame.

She does it for the paycheck. She got the job as a nepotism favor after her dad kissed up to Trump early and often. Which probably means she doesn't have a lot of good job prospects otherwise. You do what you have to do.

Besides, the job is White House Press Secretary, the most undignified job in Washington. Can you think of one such person in that position that has had one shred of respect? MAYBE Tony Snow. It is a darn near impossible job if you want to keep your self-respect.

If I ever got offered that gig (and at the rate the administration is going through staffers I just might) I'm using a pseudonym. (Preferably something ridiculous so that the reporters have to refer to me as, for example, "Turd Ferguson" —alas, that one is taken).

That's why I can't take any of this faux outrage today seriously. This has been going on for a while. Both sides are guilty of it and both sides feign outrage when it is done against them. We've been listening for over two years to vile things Trump has said and being told, "he just wasn't politically correct, he says what others are thinking...." Everything that was said last night could have come from Trump's Twitter feed about Rosie or Megyn Kelly. . . All those things could have come from a free republic thread about Michelle Obama or come from a DU thread before that about Laura Bush. This is what society has become and we only need a mirror to see the blame.
At this point it is turning into a game of ridiculous one-upmanship. Michelle Wolf has been doing this sort of thing for years. She writes for The Daily Show, which really kicked off this kind of "discourse." Perhaps that's part of Trump's appeal: after years of getting cheapshotted, a good chunk of the population rallied around the guy who shot cheapshots back, and they haven't let go.

Make no mistake about it: this didn't start with Trump, and it won't end with Trump, either.

I think the fuse for the vileness we see today was the 2000 election. All that pent up anger came at just the time the internet really boomed and people started acting differently thinking they were anonymous. Before that, all of this was 'shock jock' territory. Now, we've accepted it as normal and the jokes the shock jocks told in the 90s seem mild by comparison.

Now, your average grandma says wise things about political opponents than Andrew Dice Clay said in 1992.

Trump, Wolf, the lot of them are just a symptom of reflection of society, not the cause.

I didn't vote for Pres. Trump because I didn't like the bullying and outrageous lies he told during the primaries. Today I wish I had voted for him. For all the brash, rough, mean attacks he makes he at least has consistently tried to fulfill his campaign promises. We can't say the same for the "genteel" Pubs.

My outrage with the WHCD is not due to the attacks on Pres. Trump, other than the claim he's a racist and supports nazi's. I'm outraged by the attacks on Conway and Sanders. I am especially outraged by the comment by the "comedian" about Sanders being a white Uncle Tom.

Imagine you were on a bus.  Engaging in some locker room talk and unbeknown to you the other guy was recording it.

Then released it for national news. 

Now that would suck

But everyone on the bus would have their phones out and would be staring at them.  Unless you talked loud enough to wake them from their stupor, in which case you would be recorded and posted on the Net.

The "locker room talk" that Trump supporters defended was made in a public interview, and was definitely made for public consumption.

No Trump supporter who defended Trump's bragging about molesting women should care one whit about what is said about him.

The faux outrage about trash talking a trash talker is hypocritical from those who have stalwartly defended Trump's trash talk.

@musiclady   Maybe you should have lunch with @Rivergirl

No one that I know of on THIS forum has defended Trump about truth or rumors of his past behavior about sex or women.

@musiclady   Hey, I would be remiss if I didn't appreciate your attempts to clear things up with me.

But the point is, people defending Trump's so-called locker room talk are few and far between.  I don't know of anyone here who does.  Maybe you do.

I'm an old-fashioned woman who doesn't like smut in any form or by anybody.

However, a lot of people are inured to all that stuff.

At any rate, I don't judge Trump strictly by his past or his tweets and, as far as I know, he has not made public statements or even tweets, using profane language.

I'm trying to judge Trump by his Presidential actions a lot of which I like.  That's all.

I'm also 'old-fashioned' and don't like any form of profanity or obscenity, nor degradation of women.

That's what puts me on the receiving end of ridicule by a few of the boys here on TBR.

But that's OK.   When you have standards as we do (I mean that seriously), we aren't driven from them by internet ridicule.

There are lots of us here on TBR, and that's why I like it here.

And I appreciate that.

A couple of others have not been so kind.   I have been on the receiving end of some not so nice "pokes."

But that's OK.  I'm a big girl.  I don't have either of them on Ignore because I can handle myself and their mockery just fine.

Not the innocent ones at least.  If they degrade women, I call them on it.  (Only occasionally).

That's it.

(And most of the time I ignore them, because I believe they have the freedom to express their 'values,' or lack thereof, whether they believe in my freedom to express mine, or not).

When the behavior warrants it, the word is appropriate.

I would never use the term to describe the vast majority of the males on this forum who handle themselves as men in all circumstances.

When a male belittles women on a regular basis, it is not the behavior of an adult.

Now, I fully agree with getting this thread back on topic, and apologize for anything I said that got it off course.

Leftists are creeps who have, for a very long time, said vile, ugly things in public.

No one should be surprised at vulgarity coming from a leftist.

Back to make one more comment about this false charge........

I have never ever seen a comment by @driftdiver that I would consider to be degrading to women, so I'm not sure why he was offended by my use of the word "boys" to describe those who are not adult enough to treat women with respect.

I stand by my comment that those adult males who feel the need to treat women in a degrading fashion are not behaving as men, but as boys.

I'm pretty sure everyone here (including driftdiver) actually knew that I was not coming even close to "degrading men" in my post, and that the accusation was not made because a defense of men was actually required but for some other reason known only to him.   :shrug:

I'm sorry, @RoosGirl , but it shouldn't be that complicated, and you're bright enough to catch the difference between the two concepts.

So I'll restate my point and leave it alone.  My calling men who belittle women on a regular basis "boys" is not "degrading men."  It is specifically referring to a subset of men who haven't grown up yet.  The vast majority of men don't do that, so I am not degrading men as a group.  Just (accurately) describing the boys among them.

There are also plenty of women who haven't grown up yet, and you may freely call them "girls" without being guilty of "degrading women."  Get it?

Once again, my comment referred to a small subset of the male gender who are so insecure that they feel the need to debase women in order to feel better about themselves.   

If you still can't discern the clear distinction I am making, and have made repeatedly, please take it to private messaging, as the point was clear from the beginning, and I see no reason to continue to publicly defend something you obviously already understand.

You are absolutely correct, @EasyAce .   Thanks for the reinforcement.

What I said was not even remotely controversial, as the evidence for such behavior is clear.

No doubt about that.
I can think of things said about Nixon and moving forward, about all presidents, but I think it was more fringe and less mainstream.
I think it has become more mainstream as time has gone by.

I was reading something the other day, I think it was an article by Jonah Goldberg.
It mentioned that as Americans, we long to be outsiders, rebels, it's our history since the Declaration of Independence, the founding.
Rock and Roll, Tattoos, swearing, all the way to things like lately the acceptance of several sexual genders are ways to rebel, shock, not be a square, etc.
The funny thing is, now doing the right things is out of the norm, rebellious.
Straight, married, homeowners, with kids, working full time, is portrayed as being "way out there".
Everybody is vulgar, so it isn't cool anymore.
Hopefully, it will go back to the fringe.

The controversial White House Correspondents Dinner comedian Michelle Wolf has deleted thousands of offensive Twitter messages – after tweeting jokes about Serena Williams having a penis, calling Eric Trump an 'abortion,' and claiming she wanted to have sex with Bill Clinton.

Wolf, 32, has faced heavy criticism for her performance on Saturday after skewering White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders and aide Kellyanne Conway in an act that journalists and politicians widely denounced as mean spirited and vulgar.

On Monday, Wolf's Twitter account showed she has currently has 376 posts on the social media site. In June 2017, the comedian had over 20,000 tweets.

Although the White House Correspondents Association suggested it was caught off guard by Wolf's coarse jokes about the Trump administration, the comedian's Twitter feed shows years of animosity toward Donald Trump and praise for Hillary Clinton.  ...  Read more: Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5675113/Michelle-Wolf-called-Eric-Trump-abortion-one-thousands-deleted-tweets.html#ixzz5EBrrKkuk)

@mystery-ak

Neither had I.  I just read this thread; had to do Bible study for a class I teach and haven't been on the forum long enough to post.  Studying Bible and this Wolf woman's presentation at the same time, is an oxymoron - total opposites.

As a few do here, this Wolf woman used bathroom/body function words.  A person consumed with using these words, including passing waste and reproduction part words, didn't pass potty training.  She would lower her voice at the punch line, so sometimes I didn't get those words.  She did that with the Sarah Sanders' "joke" so I didn't get the "joke" until I saw it in print.  Poor joke, didn't make much sense.  Felt sorry for Sanders after I saw it in print.

Essentially, she used the body part/function words so much, those were supposed to be the shocker to get laughs.  One will remember those words, but what came before or after?  Not much.  Maybe comedians could have a contest with only saying body function words/parts, and people can vote for the most/worst words and that person is the winner.

To their credit, the White House Reporters Assn. has issued a denunciation of the Wolf woman's performance.  I doubt there will be a bathroom comedian the next time.

I read five reporters were killed today somewhere in the middle east, think it is Afghanistan.  Reporters are our ears/eyes on the world.  I denounce Trump going after the press, calling them a public enemy.  He would shut them all down so the people could only hear him - mass hypnotism.  His ability to hypnotize people into believing whatever he wants them to, is working.  Sheeple, Leemings.  The next person/group he goes after, his followers will do the same.

Did you sleep through the entire primary season in 2016?  The culture has been degraded so as to be unrecognizable from just a few years ago.  The name calling, the lies, insults that continue from the white house are at the root of this debacle.   Complain all you want but be honest about the genesis of her taunting of the president.  As for Sarah, how she lives with herself is beyond me. 
@Rivergirl

What you say is true.  The Trump method of holding rallies cause some people to act out.  I have said this is a mass hypnosis technique and it works for him and still does now.

I have also watched Sarah Sanders and wondered how she keeps up with the double speak to get out of answering questions about what he says/does.  I have also wondered how she lives with herself, knowing what she is doing.  I kept thinking she will quit, but she doesn't.  Wouldn't surprise me if she has or develops a stomach ulcer.  I can imagine her esophagus/stomach crunching in on itself by what she has to say.

Of course not.  I'm saying reporters are our eyes/ears of what is happening around the world and they get killed doing this important work.  My son was in Bosnia filming that war; hiding behind trees to film battles.  He said after that he would not film another war, because people would see it on TV, then go to their kitchen to get something to eat or go to the bathroom, and he could be dead for making that film - it was not worth it.  He also said he had a small son and said he wanted his son to have a father, not a dead father for making a film.

You do realize her job position, right?

I would hope you treated Ari Fleischer, Scott McClellan, Tony Snow, Robert Gibbs, Josh Earnest and Sean Spicer with the same level of disrespect. White House Press Secretaries lose their own voice the moment they take the job. They HAVE to say what their bosses say in order to keep their paycheck. That's probably why Mrs. Sanders didn't leave the dinner: she knew when she took the job that it required a total loss of dignity.

I rarely view MSNBC out of choice, but I believe I have much more respect for President Trump than any MSNBC host.  You may know the hosts better, but I doubt any applauded the President of the GOP for taxcuts, Gorsuch, and moving the Israel embassy to Jerusalem, as I have. 

I participate in public debate to help form my opinions.  I offered a contrasting point to the reaction over the White House Correspondence Dinner with examples of the President's speech and behavior as well as the reaction of his supporters.  I was looking to find some recognition of the hypocrisy that is see.

@jmyrlefuller
I can think of one White House press secretary who refused to stick around long enough to lose his dignity---J.F. terHorst, who walked after one month over Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon. Whatever you do or don't think of that pardon, there's something admirable about a man who refuses to defend what he thinks is the indefensible. (terHorst decided to resign when he learned of the pardon the night before Ford was to announce it publicly; he once said he "stayed up most of that night just formulating a three-paragraph letter of resignation.")

You have constructed an excellent argument.  You present your interpretation of my post, and a forceful counter argument, backed up by logic and facts.  It is honest and is designed to illicit a response, without belittling me.  That is a skill.

I respect Ari Fleischer, Scott McClellan, and Tony Snow greatly because of who they chose to represent.  I had a lot of sympathy for the job they did.  I had that sympathy because President Bush IMO was by his speech and actions a President of all the people.  I believe he had rules and standards of conduct.  I believe he wouldn't publicly make fun of elected officials, media figures, groups or individual Americans because of their looks, gender, race, religion, or intelligence.  YMMV but I would like to hope none of President Bush's Press Secretaries feel the damage to their dignity wasn't worth the reward. 

Still I have found fault with all 3 at some time and I would not be shocked if I have insinuated or outright proclaimed each as apologists in the past.  I imagine I have found times when I treated them with the same level of disrespect.     

You have invited me to disparage or defend rats Robert Gibbs, and Josh Earnest.  I decline.  The only nice thing I feel compelled to say about Josh Earnest is I love his name.  Obama sucked and I don't need to convince you why.

I respected Spicer's resignation most, but I respect Spicer because I like Spicer.  It is human nature to defend the people we like, Thank God.  I excuse his propaganda because I knew him from twitter a year before he became Press Secretary.  I at least know who he wants me to think he is.
 
He is wicked funny and smart as a whip, but when called to regurgitate the President's BS he said "largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period."  First day.

I know a Press Secretary has to say what she is told.  That does not require me to respect her position.

Thanks for giving me an opportunity to clarify my opinion.

Those were probably the most admirable qualities about George W. Bush.

But if he was "president of all the people," then it should have called the people's wisdom, never mind his, into serious question.

Those were probably the most admirable qualities about George W. Bush.

But if he was "president of all the people," then it should have called the people's wisdom, never mind his, into serious question.

Dubya failed at many things.  I am not embarrassed to say I voted for him twice.

I voted for him once; then, seeing precisely what the aforementioned book describes take place, and seeing concurrently the corruption of the Libertarian Party presidential candidate Harry Browne in 2004, I changed my registration to independent and cast a write-in vote for Groucho Marx, on two grounds:

a) I remembered Artemus Ward's counsel that if we couldn't find a live man who amounted to anything, by all means let's have a first class corpse. (And, if the dead could vote in Chicago, the living should be able to vote for the dead.)

b) Any man who could say as Groucho Marx once did, Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and misapplying the wrong solutions, showed more political wisdom than anyone running for office alive and well.

I've lived in Nevada since 2007, and there is no write-in vote allowed here, so the only viable option for me since has been "None of These Candidates." I cast it in 2008, 2012, and 2016, and I still think it was the only reasonable vote I could cast without robbing me of the ability to sleep at night.

You do realize her job position, right?

I would hope you treated Ari Fleischer, Scott McClellan, Tony Snow, Robert Gibbs, Josh Earnest and Sean Spicer with the same level of disrespect. White House Press Secretaries lose their own voice the moment they take the job. They HAVE to say what their bosses say in order to keep their paycheck. That's probably why Mrs. Sanders didn't leave the dinner: she knew when she took the job that it required a total loss of dignity.

@jmyrlefuller   The fact that it's difficult to retain dignity while dealing with a room full of total idiots is a huge tribute to Sarah Sanders.  She does it every day and I have never seen her lose dignity.  I think she may be the most universally admired member of the administration.

If Nikki Haley isn't.
