7. The bigger laugh?

She spoke even more about Kellyanne Conway lying, and even mentioned getting a tree to fall on her, and yet no one is saying anything about that!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. She was careful to say "get stuck under a tree", not injure her. . . . nt

[colorado_ufo]

12. True dat!

But, no comments re: the jokes about her lying? Kellyanne looked pissed!

[Hulk]

We need to stand for her and not let anyone "demand an apology" or any other such nonsense for a single word of what she said.

[bsiebs]

14. Yes. Absolutely!

[JohnnyRingo]

15. I applaud the Handmaids Tale reference.

I don't know about everyone else, but I did what Sarah did when she got home... I googled it:

Character Analysis
Agony Aunt
There are plenty of unlikable characters in this dystopic nightmarescape, but we have a special reserve of hatred for Aunt Lydia. A lot of that comes from the fact that she's a woman... and yet seems totally happy to be an agent of a Republic that is organized around the systematic repression of all women. Who does that, Aunt Lydia? Ugh, we hate you.

Sometimes Aunt Lydia seems to be the voice of the Women's Center and the voice of the Republic of Gilead. It's her voice the narrator hears over and over explaining the rules and consequences of this new lifestyle. Her words shape the manipulation and brainwashing at the Center, lead the women in remaking themselves as Handmaids, and twist Biblical passages to provide justification for this new lifestyle.

One of the narrator's key observations about Aunt Lydia is this: "Aunt Lydia thought she was very good at feeling for other people" (8.27). This says a lot both about Aunt Lydia and the way the narrator sees her. Aunt Lydia believes one of her strengths is "feeling for other people," but from where we're standing (via the narrator's vantage point) this is hardly true. The only people Aunt Lydia seems to feel for are Commanders' Wives. She tries to manipulate the Handmaids into feeling compassion for the Wives:

Try to think of it from their point of view she said, her hands clasped and wrung together, her nervous pleading smile. It isn't easy for them. (3.18)

This statement reveals Aunt Lydia's qualities as a master manipulator. She "pleads" with the Handmaids, using body language like "clasped and wrung" hands to signify entreaty, while "smil[ing]" at them and seeming to act "nervous." Yet are we supposed to find any of her rhetoric legit?

[ollie10]

16. Michelle accomplished the impossible

She made me sympathize with Sanders. And I hate Sanders.

So many ways she could have intelligently roasted Sanders. What a flub up!

It ain't kool to be a bully and call it funny. It ain't funny either...

[JenniferJuniper]

18. Sanders is a lying POS

I thought the smokey eye make up stuff was great.

[S.E. TN Liberal]

20. Sanders is a significant part of undermining democracy in America due to her constant lying.

I can't feel a bit sorry for her.

[TexasBushwhacker]

29. Michelle waa a bully because she called Sanders out on her lying?

Please explain.

[ollie10]

31. Making fun of someone's physical appearance is school yard crap

[Scarsdale]

32. Someone should explain that

to the Toddler-In-Chief, he mocks people constantly. Look at HIM. he is grotesque.

[ollie10]

33. Yes, trump is grotesque. He has poisoned the environmnent. I get it.

He has done worse.

But we can do better.

We wallow in his mud hole we will get muddy too.

We are better than that.....aren't we?

You know you have a losing argument when you try to justify your behavior by saying Donald Trump did it too.....ugh....

[JenniferJuniper]

34. How'd she make fun of her appearance? -

“I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. But she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye. Like maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies.”

She was complimenting her perfect makeup - makeup made from the ashes of burned facts.

[ollie10]

35. You really believe that?

Really?

You think she was complimenting her makeup?

Really? OMG

[JenniferJuniper]

36. Can you not read?

Where in her comments did she "make fun of her appearance"?

Specifically quote it, please.

[ollie10]

37. Her makeup is part of her appearance

[JenniferJuniper]

38. Oh, please. A perfect smoky eye.

Do you know what smoky eye is? Sarah's is perfect.

Quote the insult, please, or stop the Huckabee love.

[JustAnotherGen]

81. She complimented it

And she told no lies unlike lying SHS.

[ollie10]

83. Calling that a compliment ain't exactly....er....honest

Saying a woman's makeup looks like ashes is NOT a compliment no matter how hard you try to spin it.

Next thing you are gonna say is that wishing a tree would fall on Kellyanne was a wish for her welfare.

[JenniferJuniper]

89. Smokey eyes are meant to look like ashes

Look it up.

[JustAnotherGen]

99. Nonsense

[ollie10]

100. Why is make up an issue?

Oh...because Wolf made it one

[JustAnotherGen]

105. Actually - Scaramucci did it first

You are the second one to make it an issue. Why are you so bent out of shape about this? It's ridiculous. Sister Sarah Huckster has her 'daddy' to defend her lying racist UNAmerican ass. Why do YOU do it? What's in it for YOU?

Like seriously - who is worse? Sister Sarah or Michelle Wolf. Who tells lies so people will die?

[George II]

109. Exactly. For three days I've been trying to find his comments right after he was hired....

....can't find them, but he said something to the effect about how he wants to improve her appearance and was hiring a makeup person.

[JustAnotherGen]

112. Here it is

https://thinkprogress.org/anthony-scaramucci-advises-sarah-sanders-on-her-hair-and-makeup-d62aa6a6f7a7/
Anthony Scaramucci advises Sarah Sanders on her hair and makeup

The White House communications director mentioned Sanders’ appearance after talking about her job performance.

“I think Sarah does a great job. She’s incredibly authentic, and what I told Sarah on Friday is you take the big office … For Sarah Huckabee, I want to do everything I can to make her better at that podium. I think she’s phenomenal there now. But like every athlete that is training for the Olympics, every day we have to make ourselves incrementally better,” Scaramucci said.

After his noting how press secretaries can be “incrementally better,” Scaramucci focused on Sanders’ appearance.

“The only thing I ask Sarah, Sarah if you’re watching, I love the hair and makeup person that we had on Friday, so I’d like to continue to use the hair and makeup person,” he added.



Scaramucci’s comment on Sanders’ appearance is in keeping with the Trump administration’s habit of commenting on women and how they should look. Trump himself is incredibly focused on women’s appearances. When the president criticizes a woman, he almost always focuses on their looks. And when the president praises a woman, he zeroes in on their appearance.

[ehrnst]

107. Why is makeup a trigger for you?

Oh... because Wolf made a joke that involved mentioning makeup.

[ehrnst]

114. You insult Sarah Huckabee Sanders more than Wolf with your "concern" that a "working mother"

needs you to stand up for her against a comedian.

Do you have that little respect for the ability of mothers to deal with being a public figure? She's not in the spotlight reluctantly - being pilloried for no reason.

Save your disrespect for Sarah, and leave the rest of working mothers out of it.

[tonedevil]

46. In what way did...

Ms. Wolf make fun of anyone's physical appearance?

[OriginalGeek]

86. Yes it is

Fortunately Michelle didn't do that.

[yardwork]

101. Where did Michelle make fun of Sarah's personal appearance?

[ollie10]

54. leading question....and misrepresenting what I said

so no need to answer.

[S.E. TN Liberal]

56. ollie10,

I think your view will change if you read this article,

https://notmypot.us/2018/04/29/no-idiots-michelle-wolf-did-not-attack-sarah-sanders-appearance/

I don't mean the pejorative to be applied to you. It is simply what the writer put in the article.

[ollie10]

57. She said....

"In short, it was probably the only compliment Sanders has ever received about her looks."

Now....step back. The author is saying that Sanders has probably never received a compliment on her looks! Again....who the hell cares about Sanders' looks?!!!! /When you start with this sort of bias and attitude, pardon me, it just ain't very convincing!

Women have to play by a different set of rules in the work place. You have to be more than competent, more than do your job right....women are judged by their appearances. A guy can go to work in sloppy attire, he can have a beer belly and be totally out of shape...but if a woman does the same thing?

I don't like Huckabee Sanders at all. But her looks, her smokey make up, this sort of stuff is simply not relevant. If you want to roast her lies, fine.....that should be easy enough to do without distracting everyone's attention to her make up.

The take away of this is in the real world, most people are giving sympathy to Huckabee Sanders for a cheap shot and few people are even noticing her portrayal of Trump lies. That is how unskilled Wolf's skewering was.....she skewered the wrong target, her make up!!!!

[S.E. TN Liberal]

59. Now, you are switching to attacking what the author said, not what Michelle Wolf said.

What Michelle Wolf said was not an attack on LyingSarah's "Smokey Eyes".

It was an attack on "Burning Facts" and using the "Ash" which then is used to create the smokey eyes.

[ollie10]

63. so when your wife wears makeup, you tell her it looks like ash?

please report back what she says if you say it looks like ash!

[MrsCoffee]

64. Lol.

You really have to stretch to get to where you are, but I applaud your flexibility.

[S.E. TN Liberal]

65. ollie10,

You are showing yourself to be confused.

The "ash" reference came from the "burning facts" part of the joke.

Burnt things often leave "ash" behind. That "ash" from the "burning facts" is what Michelle Wolf joked was used to create the "perfect" "smokey eyes" that LyingSarah often wears.

You might want to check what was really said and stop trying to insinuate something else has been said.

[ehrnst]

93. Ollie has been told this several times on several different threads

And just goes to other threads and proceeds to trash the very idea that a comedian would comment on Huckabee's makeup.

Ollie has referred to Wolf as "Trumplike" repeatedly/

I think that at this point, we can safely say that this poster is trolling.

Not sure if they are a right winger, or simply want to disrupt.

[ehrnst]

92. For the third time....Here's the response to your posts that say "report back." Makeup named Ash....

111. Smokey eye is an eye makeup technique:

https://www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com/how-to-do-a-smokey-eye

[ehrnst]

115. One again - here's a your report:

Women LOVE the idea of ashy eye makeup!

https://www.amazon.com/NYX-Glam-Shadow-GS11-Ash/dp/B00BFJ0IVQ

and they even search for "SMOKEY EYE MAKEUP!" Where there's smoke there's ash, honey....

https://www.sephora.com/buy/smokey-eye-makeup?om_mmc=ppc-GG_665038729_31365272782_aud-290129071147:dsa-261415660075__144343586553_9008135_c&country_switch=us&lang=en&gclid=CjwKCAjwoKDXBRAAEiwA4xnqvw1L5Nrf3R6xMkPDUcW5RUTpeEEXmKt-c8pejevKlNxPdUt3sLr9hhoCUREQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Now why don't you stop with the insulting infantilizing of working mothers, and go scold people that you're being made a "victim" somewhere else, before your options on where to complain start to dissapear.

[ehrnst]

94. Yep, Ollie is doing this on several threads where Michelle Wolf is praised.

[ehrnst]

113. So you think that women can't handle being in the public eye and being joked about like men

are joked about?

Who is "most people" that you claim are 'giving her sympathy" other than your misguided assumption that women and mothers can't handle public life?

I know that Wolf triggers you for some reason, but that's a really demeaning thing to say about women in the public area - even Sanders.

And since when do you know what is "in the real world" when you keep saying "nobody heard of Michelle Wolf before?"

When you start with this sort of bias and attitude, pardon me, it just ain't very convincing!

[Oppaloopa]

62. You did this crap today on another thread.

[ehrnst]

91. You are all over DU trashing Michelle Wolf.

You keep changing the reasons that you are offended when you are called out on not thinking male comedians who have been MUCH more confrontational at this event were "going low," and you keep changing your objection from to say that she "attacked Sarah Huckabee's looks!" then it's "she has set the pro-choice movement back, and is helping Trump," then, "She's profiting of this more than the media profits off Trump because NO ONE EVER HEARD OF HER BEFORE, and now she has all this publicity for her OWN SHOW.

You have been corrected and challenged on your ever-changing and contradictory reasons why she is a clear and present danger to progressive ideals, and you just pout and call anyone who points this out as "being childish, and I'm not going to talk to you anymore" five or six times....

What is your issue with her?

Or is it just women comedians in general?

[ehrnst]

108. Why do you accuse anyone that calls you out or corrects you "misrepresenting?"

If so many people are "misrepresenting" what you say so often on this topic, maybe you need to look at the common denominator in each of those many, many interchanges.

Hint - it's not them.

[LanternWaste]

52. Seems yours is the bullet-point hand-out for the week.

Seems yours is the bullet-point hand-out for the week. A handful of variations on the same theme only works when no one knows about the theme.

You're right.. it ain't funny either.

[niyad]

75. as most people have understood, Michelle was calling shs out for her LYING.

[nini]

95. When you sympathize with the enemy you lose

And Sanders is indeed an enemy of the State for enabling the take down of our democracy and rights.

She does not deserve once ounce of pity - she is a traitor.

[ollie10]

96. Soooo....lock her up? Sounds familiar.....

I guess when Trump talks that way it is dangerous because it is authoritarian, and authoritarians call political opponents "enemies of the state. So it is scary this tribalism that has little/no respect for the rule of law

[nini]

98. there are actual reasons to lock those people up.

She's covering for him lying to the press and God knows what else. If that 'what else' isn't lock up worthy then so be it but I'd bet she's deep into all this like the rest of them.

Give her a day in court because I do believe in the rule of law, but fuck that shit that you can dare equate what they did to Hillary to this stuff.


Again. she's helping a cabal kill our democracy but all means spend your time feeling sorry for that 'snowflake'.

[ehrnst]

110. When you have no reply, you have to make up something that someone said?

You won't get much respect throwing around strawmen like that.

What is it about Michelle Wolf - and people thinking she's funny - that triggers you?

Comparing Huckabee to HRC is just trying to pick fights on DU.

Perhaps you should go cool off for awhile.

[Thekaspervote]

17. Thanks Michelle for putting it to words so elegantly

19. K & R

Thanks for further explaining the Handmaids movie.

That's one I've avoided.

[Silver Gaia]

22. It's a television series on Hulu, and is well worth watching!

Season 1 is out on DVD and Bluray now. It's based on a 1984 novel by Margaret Atwood, who is involved as a producer and writer. It has won a ton of awards, all well-deserved. It stars Elisabeth Moss as Offred/June, with Ann Dowd as Aunt Lydia, and Joseph Fiennes as Fred (among many other stellar performances).

Is it sometimes hard to watch? Yes, but it is worth it. This is not mindless TV. It will make you FEEL and it will make you THINK. I highly recommend it.

[Paladin]

44. I agree. Meanwhile the WHCA is donning kneepads and groveling before trump.

We really are on our own in terms of bringing trump down. It's pretty obvious the "free press" isn't going to be of much help.

[greatlaurel]

45. Michelle Wolf is a brave woman and a true patriot.

I cannot believe the number of posts attacking Michele Wolf on DU. Michele Wolf was speaking truth to power. Her joke about using the ashes of burned lies for eye shadow was brilliant. The outrage is that Sarah Huckabee Sanders lies to the American public every day and the news media does not state that she is lying every time she lies. When the news media are stenographers of lies, the republic is in great danger. Every person in the media who criticizes Michele Wolf are enabling fascism and are outing themselves as collaborators.

[lunatica]

47. I agree!

[kentuck]

48. She did what every reporter in the room wanted to do.

Call out Sarah Sanders on her lies.

[uriel1972]

That they want to call her out? More than a few are complicit.

Huckster and her boss can go to hell.

[meadowlark5]

79. I wish she had spent a little more time roasting the originator of lies and made up shit...

Kellyanne Conway. She should have gone after that thing more. Sanders exists and is allowed to do what she does because of the originator of and normalizing of out and out lies, Kellyanne Conway.

Both deserved roasting. She should have thrown in a little about Paul Ryan too. What an ass kissing hack he turned out to be.

I absolutely LOVED that she called out the media. They had a great deal in creating Trump and now profit handsomely off of his idiocy and vulgarity. That's probably more why they are siding with Sanders. They all got a smack down and didn't appreciate being held accountable for their role in all of this.
