Michelle Wolf is a runner!

You would regret it more if someone were to attack your looks and demean your achievements. The way you #Democrats attack women of achievement is abominable. Shame on you. You and your event are headed for the dustbin of history. Save your breath for the Unemployment Office.

What was the alleged jab at SHS's physical appearance?

Hard to make it brief, as it was in a (much) longer context.

Here's one synopsis:

Michelle Wolf mocked Sarah Sanders as Aunt Lydia in the Handmaiden’s Tale, a bull-dyke gym teacher and attacked Sanders over her ‘smoky eye’ look. Wolf concluded with the racist, sexist attack in which she called Sanders a traitor to ‘white women.’

Prior to that, she stayed more in-bounds, merely spinning on for 10-15 seconds about Sanders being powered by lies.

What a dumb synopsis. Here's the actual joke:

“I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. She burns facts, and then she uses the ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies.”

Also the Handmaid's Tale joke:

“I have to say I’m a little starstruck. I love you as Aunt Lydia in The Handmaid’s Tale”

(Aunt Lydia is not a "bull-dyke gym teacher." That's some editorializing by whoever wrote that synopsis. She's a stern headmistress type representing an oppressive administration who corals/enslaves women to use their bodies for receptacles of procreation only.

Don't hate on her, hate on her writers. She was just reading the jokes.

And she read it like she knew that they were horrible. Even distasteful jokes can have comedic effect if delivery can cut, but she is just bad.

I give leeway to Haberman for saying "physical appearance" rather than "looks" because she made one jab at Huckabee's makeup: her smoky eye. But the joke was based on the lies she tells. And the smoky eye is not a judgment call. Girlfriends dons a smoky eye pretty routinely. Fact. Neither good nor bad, If it were all about Hope Hicks's smoky eye, no one would be saying she insulted Hicks' looks. People are reading their own neurosis and judgments into this.

Mika B. is all faux outraged: "Watching a wife and mother be humiliated on national television for her looks is deplorable. "

The only one going on about looks is our friend Carrot Top poster. As if Michelle Wolf has never gotten that before. So original!

To be fair, I had never heard of her or seen her before today so it was original for me.

Why are you wasting such a great opportunity with dishonesty? Or potentially ignorance? She didn’t attack Sarah’s looks - it doesn’t help to attack Wolf for something she didn’t actually do. There was enough actual bad about her “roast” that you can bash her performance without having to lie.

Knee jerk reactions based on being ill informed (or stupid) take away from those of us who condemn last night’s crap for legitimate reasons. Please stop it.

Michael Loftus: ... It’s boring and it’s sad… I have more fun watching a Trump rally than I did a White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Trump is a better comic.

Let's compare:

So we started the wall, and it’s being built in San Diego — beautiful job, they’re doing a great job. And I said, you know, “We stop that wall, all the people in San Diego are gonna put a lot of pressure.” And I said, “Well, let’s see about that.” So I said, “How much would it cost to stop the wall?” “Sir, it’ll cost seven million in extras.” I can’t pay the extras. I hate extras. (laughter)

She ran 60.3 at her very best? You will see faster than that in any middle school meet.

Love the B.S. about an injury forced her to stop. No rehab? No dedication to the sport?

Pretty obvious that when she got a look at what real college athletes do, she QUIT.

It's what libs do.

Nice try, even Bob Hope (1944) read the jokes rather than ad lib.

"You guys are obsessed with Trump. Did you use to date him? Because you pretend like you hate him, but I think you love him. I think what no one in this room wants to admit is that Trump has helped all of you. He couldn't sell steaks or vodka or water or college or ties or Eric, but he has helped you. He's helped you sell your papers and your books and your TV. You helped create this monster, and now you're profiting off of him.... "

She gotta run from them and the media since she went after them all. If they can run longer than 10 sec.

I gotta give her credit — she went after everyone with no mercy.

I don’t know how these events work, but I’m surprised they don’t look over speakers’ remarks first. I guess that’s inthe spirit of the whole “free press” thing ... or what’s left of it.

Lotsa of non-white reporters there it seems:
