Because they picked an unfunny person to do the roast. Another One of Trumps fails

Trump did not pick her

Who did?

White House correspondents; the media.

She was funny I take it back. Why did she say you should have done more research then?

They're upset because she went at everyone from a pretty nonpartisan position. Conservatives are used to fighting the sjws, Michelle didn't come across as one, so now they just bitch and whine. Think it's more funny that media got all pissed.

She did a damn good job, bunched up more panties than a Russian trollbot.

it was funny and didn't seem all that mean spirited to me, a little fiery ok but it's a roast. The press coming to sanders' defense as if it was their job - that's gross and incestuous

news groups and pundits are upset because she rightfully shit on them for being ineffectual and behind the times. conservative politicians are upset because all the blabber about free speech they have is because they want to be really offensive and not be called on it without much else thought put into it.

Conservatives are quite wimpy when it comes to jokes and roasting. There's a fine line between solid jokes and just plain degeneracy. I think Wolf had some solid jokes and didn't need to descend to the level that the people did against Anne Coulter at the Rob Lowe roast. That was just pure vitriol and against the spirit of a roast.

The only thing I would worry about is the fact that a conservative cannot do what Wolf did against a democrat woman. Not a chance in hell. It's open season on Sanders and Anne Coulter. But if anyone tried this on a democrat woman pundit or a celebrity like Beyonce?

Yeah, have fun.

The party of equality does not want equality in the distribution of joke targets.

Rush Limbaugh - who is still gainfully employed and one of the most-listened to radio hosts in the country - called Chelsea Clinton a dog when she was 12

I know they aren't equal, I'm just saying that there would be no circumstance where a conservative person would be put in a position to roast any high quality democrat targets. And if a democrat woman was roasted, the roasters would not bend the rules. At the Rob Lowe roast, the comics were just going up there and calling Anne the c-word. These are otherwise very funny people and they lost my respect because of this.

I don't know what you're going for here. Some kind of jab at liberals? Michelle Wolf was nonpartisan and that is why everyone is up in arms. No one has any self-awareness or self-reflection. It's all fun and games until your team is the butt of the joke. The reaction to the routine just proves how fucked America is at the moment.

These are different environments and circumstances. Radio and concert ranting is off the cuff. The dinner is a controlled environment with writers and handlers.

If these people made those comments on their shows and somehow survived the fallout, good for them. I don't care for them. Doesn't mean I'm going to get OUTRAGED over it.

The Rosie comments were hilarious. Now I might not condone that type of public shaming, but I still laughed my behind off.

Rosie is a fat slob and a clown. So is the ole Donny.

I haven't seen anything beyond the eye makeup joke that Michelle did, which was pretty solid.

The crazy thing is that even that joke was too much for liberals. So at this point, it might seem that any woman shaming is just off limits to anyone.

^I think I can safely say that I was wrong when I said that. Because nearly every day on Twitter, I see horrible remarks about Sanders being retweeted by liberals and progressives and they think it's hilarious in those instances. But a smoky eye makeup joke gets twisted into shaming and all of a sudden it's an attack against womankind. These morons can't even decide what the rules are.

These idiots are eating each other.

It's dipshit media types in general who took offense to Wolf. Ostensibly liberal reporters who need to stay in SHS's good graces because she's totally definitely not an unnamed source they rely on in private in exchange for being lied to in public.

Just for example, CNN's Chris Cilizza, who is a moron extraordinaire

Anyone who said her jokes didn't get laughs is wrong. The only jokes that fell flat were the abortion joke and the Megan Kelly joke. The rest got laughs even when she stumbled over her words or botched the delivery sometimes.

This lol. She called them out for profiting hard off of Trump's election and then calling him out later when he obviously didn't do a good job. CNN and Trump definitely feel like they used to date. Actually a pretty clever joke in a wider lens view
