Don Imus. Remember that night?

He really went after Bill and Hillary for starters so fuck these RW tenderass sensitive motherfuckers. They’re about as sensitive as a toilet seat.

Michelle Wolf was right on point, funny, and truthful. Fuck the Rethugs who can’t take a joke.

4. And actually, the Clintons received an apology

From grantcart's link:

The remarks were deemed so insulting that the association sent a letter of apology to the Clintons yesterday, and Michael D. McCurry, the President's press secretary, asked C-Span, the cable network that routinely rebroadcasts Washington events, to refrain from retransmitting this one.


But C-Span both apologized and rebroadcast the event:

About 3,000 people in the Washington Hilton heard Mr. Imus, along with a live C-Span audience. Not many more than that would have been expected to hear him on C-Span tonight, if not for Mr. McCurry's calling attention to the rebroadcast. The cable network, the home of endless Congressional hearings, political speeches and policy discussions, does not typically attract a large crowd on Saturday nights.


But yes, this is all really nothing new for the event (comedians insulting politicians and media, calls for apologies).
