This is what you call a “target rich environment.”

Just think of all the anti-Democrat election commercials that can be made out of this rancid, mean spirited performance.

Next, we have Kathy Griffin and her schtick.

Then, there may well still be Hillary to run against, and all of her increasingly unhinged statements about how it must have been a rare misalignment of the planets that caused her defeat, or perhaps it was that sexist, woman-hating “Man in the Moon” who jinxed her, or something.

We have increasingly demented Pilosi of the “crumbs” remark.

How about slimy, slippery Comey, Clapper, and Brennan, and it goes on and on.

It’s an embarrassment of riches, it seems to me.

“Yes, some of ’em said it went too far, that it was in bad taste; but how many of those said so only because of how demented it all looked?”

As HC68 implied, they are only sorry that they got caught.

“So now they’re in damage control mode. But it’s no use pretending that Wolf didn’t do what she was hired to do.”

I actually agree with Colbert on this one (and that’s rare). The WHCD people hired Wolf to do precisely what she did. If they didn’t know what she was going to do, they should have, and I have no doubt that they did know.

Now, in practice it played badly. Probably all of us have at some time or another in our lives said something we thought would be clever or funny until we said it, and realized it sounded lame or rude or stupid even to ourselves.

That’s where the press corps is today. She reflected their hate back at them, but spoken aloud it didn’t sound as funny as they expected, and they realized it made a really, really bad visual and audio, and as one reporter put it, more or less handed Trump a huge PR win.

So now they’re in damage control mode. But it’s no use pretending that Wolf didn’t do what she was hired to do.

Sex with your own daughter? Fists would fly in my world.

Southern Democrat world?

I didn’t watch it, but I have heard it included jokes about aborting and cannibalizing babies in effigy and inside abortion chambers. Or maybe the joke was about such jokes, which are common to the left.

We are living in truly insane times.

Maybe people will start to wake up.

Some people, at least.

I was waiting for Trump to finally walk-the-walk and punch one of these jokesters in the face. Any man would’ve done it….But not in Trump’s. He sat there laughing like a man who enjoys being drenched in pee. What a weirdo.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

So, they’re saying, (to paraphrase Cathy Newman,) insane, disgusting vitriolic, vindictive hatred with a side of leftist ideology is the alternative to Trump, um, eep… backs away.
