Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, billed as a celebration of the First Amendment and a tribute to journalists who “speak truth to power,” has to be the worst advertisement in memory for our national press corps.
Comedian Michelle Wolf, the guest speaker, recited one filthy joke after another at the expense of President Trump and his people, using words that would have gotten her kicked out of school not so long ago.
Media critic Howard Kurtz said he had “never seen a performance like that,” adding that Wolf “was not only nasty but dropping F-bombs on live television.” Some of her stuff was grungier than that.
The anti-Trump media at the black-tie dinner laughed and whooped it up, and occasionally “oohed” as Wolf went too far even for them, lending confirmation to Trump’s depiction of who and what they are.
While the journalistic elite at the black-tie dinner was reveling in the raw sewage served up by Wolf, Trump had just wrapped up a rally in Michigan.
The contrast between the two assemblies could not have been more stark. We are truly two Americas now.

Taking God out of everything. Your school's, goverment, our lives. This is the outcome of loosing our Godly way.
My pants were LOOSE and I thought I'd LOSE them.
The deep state undermining all things America especially Capitalism so they can replace it with a Communist style government to consolidate power.
Truly a horrible evening. Michelle Wolf crossed a line over and over again. The things she said about Trump followers is actually what she and the Democratic Party have shown themselves to be.
