By Sunday night, the drumbeat of criticism had grown so loud that Margaret Talev, the head of the White House Correspondents' Association, released a follow-up statement saying Michelle Wolf whose name she didn't repeat undercut the point of the dinner.
Wolf delivered harsh and stinging remarks about Democrats, Republicans, President Donald Trump's adult children, Kellyanne Conway and WH Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
C-SPAN radio stopped broadcasting her performance more than halfway through Saturday night and replayed an episode of "Washington Journal," instead.
It wasn't funny at all.
