And also reposts of his favorite lines from his own column (he is so fucking proud of that thing).<br /><br />And just for irony's sake, a clip of Bill Maher calling people "fragile."Andrew Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780648896926049012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-16493872563456876982018-05-01T11:38:53.730-05:002018-05-01T11:38:53.730-05:00My favorite line:

A guest at your dinner table like Wolf who profanely attacked other guests would be politely (or not so politely) asked to leave.</i><br /><br />Yes, it's so terribly gauche when you have a comedy roast and the comedian <i>dares</i> to mock people. The best take on this thus far has to be from Seth Myers, who compared this reaction to hiring a stripper for a six year-old's birthday party and then expressing shock at how dirty is was. Motherfucker, why have a roast if you're this thin-skinned?Andrew Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780648896926049012noreply@blogger.com
