Loud and not funny jokes that had no punchline with his production crew in tow. Everybody was laughing unconvincingly on cue except us. We didn't stick around to hear the rest. No surprise - he really is an asshole.

They were discussing the fact he included Jews and Latinos in his screed and Wolf asked his interlocutors if this was usual...


I know that many white supremacists refer to Hispanic Americans as mezistos and consider Jews apart from the white race...

And, he's an intentionally loud, obtuse asshole in his reporting as well as someone who pulls his punchlines and slurs his words when trying to be funny. But, none of that should be the least bit surprising.

How do such turds survive?

It used to be the policemen and the treatment of beggars and criminals that you judged a country by.

Falling ratings and standards as an excuse only goes so far as an explanation for Wolf's on-air survival. I think he's got something on someone. Extended plan job security for useful idiots. There are others like him in other lines of work in DC. How else do you explain Hastert's prolonged career?

I wonder if that coward was making sure that no one had the ability to return fire?
