WTF???

What? Really, she said that? I watched first few minutes, and once she started, how broke is he... it was so boring and stupid, like preschool I stopped. How is joking about abortion acceptable even among liberals? Abortion might be accepted by people, but there is not a single woman in the world that would ever joke about it (clearly apart from this idiot), whether she had it or not. Making that decision is without a doubt the hardest decision any pro or against woman can make. She doesn't have kids, yet that is not an excuse. No mother would ever joke about abortion, pro or against.

That's the thing though, MANY Liberal women are pushing for/joking about abortion like this/openly advocating for people to have more abortions. Lena Dunham wishes she'd had one. Etc. I've had Liberal women (mothers themselves) I personally know say it.

It's absolutely INSANE and exactly part of the reason why I think the Left has gone bonkers and why no longer call myself left-leaning.

LOL. Yeah, I bet you know so many women who wish they had abortions. Even if you think it is nothing more than a medical procedure, no one goes around wishing they had a roof canal. This is why no one takes you seriously. You are either lying or stupid.

I'm pro-choice and I completely agree.

I am a mother and think her comment about abortions for mistresses was spot on. And you can either laugh about it or want to throw up about the hypocrisy of the GOP pushing their nonsense on the rest of us.

Also pro-choice and I was appalled by that "joke."

That wasn't the end of the joke. That line was to get the reaction from the crowd, and set up the punchline: "And, yes, sure, you can groan all you want. I know a lot of you are very antiabortion. You know, unless it's the one you got for your secret mistress."

I think people are really overreacting. I don't think the routine was that funny, but was amused by moments. I think it's okay to say it was not funny.

I don't think it was too offensive. And I am disappointed in the statement by the head of the WHCA.

Right, I was offended initially (I'm prochoice), but by the end was amused.
It's funny cuz it's true.

Right? I read a bunch of people complaining about her mocking SHS's appearance, and I didn't hear it at all. Maybe they don't know that "a perfect smoky eye" is actually a compliment? Or they just assume that because they would mock SHS's appearance, that must be what Wolf was doing? It's projection or something, because it wasn't in the routine.

Has she had a stroke? Her face and eyes does not look normal. One side of her face droops. Her eyes point in different directions. Is she a stroke survivor? Her physical appearance could be because of illness.

I'm 95% certain the abortion joke is aimed at Donald Trump, who may or may not have paid off the Playboy playmate to have one (and let the RNC guy take the fall for it). See the thread about this in Politics.

Agreed. Michelle Wolf even responded to this via tweet to Maggie Haberman: https://twitter.com/michelleisawolf/status/990483756883628032

Probably Bill OReilly or the likes as well.

The same party that’s always blathering on about how sensitive and PC people are couldn’t take a few jokes

It looks more like Bell's Palsy. But honestly, speculating about this is revolting. Leave it alone. I don't really care what she looks like -- and when you attack her for her appearance, she gains sympathy, which makes it easier for her to lie to the country with impunity. Stop it.

Yay for Michelle Wolf.

She makes Trump and his cronies look so pathetic. Well, more pathetic than they already are.

Yup. She accomplished the comedian's equivalent of Sherman's March on that room. She burned down the house and many in the media are pissed off that Wolfe had the temerity to show that Media Emperors truly have no clothes. She called out their complicity and the money they are all making off Trump. The last two minutes of her act were a full voiced trashing of the MSM, including CNN and Fox.

The entire point of the comedy sketch at the WHCD is that it celebrates the 1st Amendment. People from the Administration come and have to taking their lumps. Unfortunately for SHS and this White House is that they provide a wealth of material due to their unethical behavior and hypocrisy. They could easily give Michelle Wolfe less material by acting like normal human beings with an ounce of morality.

PS - Maggie Haberman's defense of SHS is PATHETIC. SHS is a known leaker and source for many "anonymous Administration official" news articles. Anyone in the media defending SHS can safely be assumed to be relying on SHS as a source. It's so, so, SO pathetic to watch them grovel.
