Members of the liberal mainstream media have expressed disapproval over some of Wolf's comments, saying she went too far. But I'm not buying it. This is what passes as liberal humor these days. Just watch Jimmy Kimmel, [[Bill Maher]] and [[Stephen Colbert]] and tell me their humor is less malevolent.
