NYT Reporter: Wolf’s “Aunt Lydia” Line Not About Huckabee Sanders Looks
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/30/2018 4:07:06 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Disingenuous, or just clueless? You be the judge.

On today’s Morning Joe, New York Times reporter Nick Confessore, apropos of Michelle Wolf’s line about Aunt Lydia and Sarah Huckabee Sanders at the correspondents’ dinner, said:

“Mika, actually the joke was about lying and not her looks. I think the reference to Aunt Lydia was a reference to the character on that show. That’s my opinion.”

Can a New York Times reporter really be this clueless - - or was he just flat-out fibbing?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Drawing the wagons into a circle to protect one of their own.

By tomorrow the leftists will be crying that Wolf is the real victim here.

“Wolf is the real victim here.”

Just like Joy Reid.

The whole “Handmaid’s Tale” concept is super-dramatic liberal propaganda idiocy. They took an image manufactured from hate to use as a hate hammer.

“...flat-out fibbing...”

The jokes were about hatred.

That’s always bad, and she’s little more than a political slut whore.

.Why Michelle Wolf’s Worst Attacks Were Worse Than You Think
PJ Media ^ | APRIL 29, 2018 | BY TYLER O’NEIL
Comparing her to Aunt Lydia in any way was worse then attacking her looks.
“Wolf’s attacks on Sanders proved disgusting from about every angle, but only those familiar with the Hulu series “The Handmaid’s Tale” — or the Margaret Atwood novel on which it is based — could understand the worst aspect of this tirade.”

No joke about lying will be effective anymore until in reaches the press.

I think the Aunt Lydia remark had the usual ghetto homophobic aspect to it. Leave it to a yellow-spined New York Slimes faggot to ignore or altogether miss that.

someone hacked her performance, and them imitated her voice. She didn’t really say those things. It was the Russians.

LOL: exactly. That’s not who she is. Those aren’t her values.

Where I work, there are a group of women who watch the show and seem to think that [somehow] Trump is going to impose this. These are the same women who participated in the Women’s March last year and proudly wore their pussy-hats.

The truth is that its far more likely that Liberals will try to set up concentration camps for gun owners, Christians and anyone who doesn’t use the transgender pronoun of the moment.

I don't mind the insulting as much as the rest of us normal people do. I just care that it should:

1) Be funny. In the '60's, Laugh-in was liberal but they were hilarious as all-get-out. In the '70's they were merciless against Gerald Ford, but they were very funny about it. John Oliver and Bill Maher are funny people at times. This Michelle Wolf should've never gotten past doing The Comedy Zone in Hammond, Louisiana before 5 people on a Saturday night.

1) Go both ways. Just as many insults about Nancy Pelosi, James Comey, Chuck Schumer, John Lewis, Bill and Hillary, and Barry and Michael.

I once went on a date sate with a woman who urged me to watch this nonsense because “this is the way our country is going to be”. Needless to say, I have never seen her again.

The Handmaid’s Tale is the best fiction of the imposition of Islam in the country.
