Michelle Wolf, guest comedian at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner, roasting some of her own kind (women) who are members of the current administration:

On Sarah Huckabee Sanders: "An Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women. Whose "smokey eye" makeup is made from the ashes of burnt facts."
On Ivanka Trump - "about as helpful to women as an empty box of tampons."
On KellyAnne Conway - "An inveterate liar. if a tree falls in the woods, how do we get KelleyAnne under it?"

Some of her more biting comments were aimed at those present. The reporters themselves. To include: "Trump has helped you sell your papers your books and your T.V. You helped create this monster and are profiting from him."

That I even read this article is another reason why I try to stay away from the news these days. Anyway, some in the media seem disappointed with Ms. Wolf's routine. About it being mean-spirited and tacky. Offensive.

Really? Maybe a little context will help: consider the environment set up by the current administration. Trump has done and said some of the skuzziest things of any president in history. He puts the "low life" in low-life. I'm even willing to give him credit for single handedly creating "trickle-down class-less-ness." He is a walking talking festering-sore.

And somebody is unhappy with a comedian having a little fun at our expense? This is her opportunity to make a splash. Her fifteen minutes. If that involves laughing at our stupidity for (almost) electing Herr Trumph president, then good for her. Seems to me it all fits quite nicely.

You have to expect things to become "tacky", if for no other reason than to keep up with the Prez. It's the new playbook. There is no longer any "too low" to go. No bar to lower. Comrade Donald has made very sure of that. Over and over and over again. He drained the swamp and opened the sewer and turned loose the diseased rats he surrounds himself with. We're all swimming in it now, every day. We are covered in icky sticky tackiness, used to the stench. It is the new normal.
And that, is truly sad.

And, exactly as helpful as an empty box of tampons.
