Loathsome and Unfunny By Rich Lowry
Most comedic acts at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner are unfunny, but last night’s performance by someone named Michelle Wolf set a new standard by being both loathsome and unfunny (I wasn’t there, by the way, and haven’t gone in years). Here’s the video of her vicious riff on Sarah Huckabee Sanders:

“Core problem w/ #WHCD & Wolf comedy routine is not that it was cruel (it was) or unfunny (it was) or disrespectful to women (it was), but that it revealed yet again that the agenda-setting national political media holds an annual event reveling in angry Democratic partisanship”

“Every caricature thrust upon t he national press—that we are culturally elitist, professionally incestuous, socioeconomically detached and ideologically biased—is confirmed by this trainwreck of an event.Journalists, the joke’s on us.”
Some in the press whine about Trump skipping these dinners. Last night showed he is right to do so, and in the future everyone at the White House should as well.
