Comedian Kathy Griffin, who has herself been embroiled in controversy over her past comments about the president, took up Wolf's defense and responded to Baker and other critics.

"Then don't have a comic do a roast," Griffin said on Twitter, "If you want to focus on the journalism do a boring awards show. Journalism is all about the 1st amendment..If you don't see the import of what @michelleisawolf did tonight then you don't get it."

I suggest that Griffin and Wolf spend a little time watching the Dean Martin Comedy Roast.

Comedy doesn’t have to be vulgar.

The most cutting insult can be rated G and get a laugh.

Probably the most skilled comic to date Tim Conway could have the audience and the cast of the Carol Burnett Show rolling in the isles with out ever using a single vulgar word.

Maybe these two women simply do not have the chops.

"Michelle Wolf — and the WHCD — really played into Trump's hand tonight. Trump is vulgar and mean-spirited, but that doesn't mean that Wolf needed to be the same," tweeted D.C. fixture and longtime political analyst Stuart.

Trump never initiates vulgarity or mean-spiritedness. In every case, he has responded in kind to liberal bullies. The tone could be cleaned up immensely if so-called journalists and other liberals would tell themselves they are taking the high ground and act professionally.

These days, comedy is rare. What usually passes for “comedy” is basically when liberals try to outdo each other by being more abrasive and abusive (towards conservatives/ordinary people) than anyone else. True comedians base comedy on quirks of human nature, and are funny in that they get people to see the quirks with a fresh perspective. Griffin’s threat to kill the President was incredibly unfunny, much the way morgues are unfunny. That she considered that behavior as comedy revealed a profoundly disturbed personality.

I am glad to see that a few reporters seem to be coming to the realization that the outlandish and biased behavior of so many members of their profession really does reduce people’s trust in the media. Perhaps they will even decide to go back to basic reporting at some point.

The left is sinking deeper into depravity. Hopefully, people with any shred of decency will leave.

Call her a comedienne. Gender-specific job titles drive the Left nuts.

“Trump is vulgar and mean-spirited, but that doesn’t mean that Wolf needed to be the same,” tweeted D.C. fixture and longtime political analyst Stuart Rothenberg.”

It’s a disgrace that clownish rothenberg compares President Trump to a gutter diving trollop.

I had to google her name. I genuinely had no clue as to who Michelle Wolf was. Turns out she’s a writer for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah — which I’ve never watched, but at least I’m aware of it.

I guess the Democrats that run the roast known as the WH Press Correspodents Dinner would know who she is — Wolf probably ghost-writes a lot of their material.

These so-called “journalists”are lucky to have the skirts of the first amendment to hide behind, otherwise many of them would get a well deserved “vacation” in Gitmo. Traitorous slime.

Wolf act was proof that liberals have no idea about comedy.

She need not worry. There are millions of Americans who have the taste and morals of a porn star. Vulgarity and trash appeal to low lifes, and there are plenty of them, especially in Washington.

I have never heard of Michelle Wolf before. Her jokes about SSH were rude, but just that.
The abortion “joke” was beyond the pale. I cannot believe she said that. I did not watch- did anybody in the audience actually laugh at that remark?

Did any of the Journalists leave during the Raunchy Comedian’s Tirade (other than the White House staffers)?

...soul-searching about the annual event itself; and an effort by former White House press secretary Sean Spicer to pressure the leadership of the White House Correspondents' Association into answering for Wolf's vulgar, personal jabs leveled primarily at the president and his inner circle.

The liberal bitch didn't go after Trump's 'inner circle' she went after conservative white women in power. Martina Stewart needs to open her eyes... the 'entertainment' was a hate crime.

Republicans should have their own dinner, same day, same time.

Invite all the same people who go to the WHCD; have the President and his administration attend; control the podium; put on a much better show; and after the fact call out all those who attended the inferior event.

Some stiff competition would set things right.
