      That's because the WHCD - esp during the Obama years - involved a comedian, the president, & the media all ganging up together in a festival of groupthink. The problem isn't mocking conservatives, it's being monolithic & cloistered about it. Don't dish what you can't take.https://twitter.com/JimSwiftDC/status/1214228582970667009 …

      I only point this out not to dunk on Peter (good guy) but a lot of people who liked what Ricky had to say last night about dumb Hollywood celebs were extremely butthurt when comedians at the WHCAD ridiculed them.

      I'd venture a guess that there are more conservatives in the room at any WHCAD dinner in the last 30 years than any Golden Globes in that same time period, Dan.

      President Trump chose to forfeit his bully pulpit instead of #hefights. I don't know the reason! He's not usually one to be restrained by better angels and can often be funny.

      I mean, there's a huge and obvious difference between mocking the titans there to be revered (at either function) and the schmoes at home watching on TV. But I don't recall the butthurt being over mocking "them" anyway. Wasn't it over mocking *him*. And also Sanders?

      Also, Trump has not always been the president.

      That's true I remember the brutal mocking of Obama as being too nerdy and smart, and also Bill Clinton as being too smart and cool. OUCH.

      I seem to recall comedians finding plenty of well-deserved material for Bill Clinton. It's nothing short of fiction that Clinton wasn't regularly and severely mocked by comedians.

      I'm shocked - SHOCKED - at the constant subtle shift in the topic and point in order to have dunks to deliver. I thought Twitter was better than this.

          This is improv, never question the premise.
