Oh bullshit, there’s a reason she could barely choke out the joke.

The comment is irrelevant to me. The selective outrage is what bothers me.

The Test Accounts I make are usually at 123 Main St, New York,NY 10001, but I like to give them diverse names like Juan Test or Sheila Test. They are real people with real test scenarios dammit.

I did a good job blocking Arkansas and this woman out of my brain to where I’m only seeing all of this today. Wild stuff

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ kickoff party for the Arkansas Razorbacks 2023 football season cost over $13,000, according to public records obtained by the Arkansas Times.

Sanders’ party – unironically dubbed the “Undefeated Party” – took place at the Governor’s Mansion on Sept. 1, the night before Arkansas’s football season officially started at War Memorial Stadium. The invitation-only soiree boasted head Hog Sam Pittman, three mascots in full costume, the University of Arkansas cheerleaders and dance team, and members of the brass section of the school band.

According to records provided by the Department of Transformation & Shared Services, the Governor’s Mansion Commission shelled out at least $13,081.36 for this party. (The Governor’s Mansion Commission is a publicly funded department of the State of Arkansas.) This price tag includes:

 

  • $1,429.22 in gingham-checked tablecloths, purchased from Amazon. You can see one of the tablecloths in the background of this photo that Sanders posted;
  • $812.50 in bamboo plates of various sizes and white and red-and-white pompoms;
  • $778.50 in flowers, candles and tablescapes from Tanarah Luxe Floral;
  • $760 in additional help;
  • $733.25 for 2.5 hours of a photo booth;
  • $600 for a DJ;
  • $500 for balloons from Brooksie Balloons;
  • $434.91 for rental of lighted letters spelling out GO HOGS;
  • $210 for giant inflatable footballs for decoration;
  • $124.92 for 24 junior-size footballs from Five Below.

Also of note in the party’s expense tally: $449.88 to Jennifer Bethel for 600 buttons, half of which said “WPS+SHS” while the other half said “Best Coach, Best Gov, Best State.” Bethel is also the vendor from whom Sanders purchased nearly $2,400 in personalized shirts and $1,000 in personalized jackets earlier in the year. Bethel appears to be an Area Sales Manager at Dillard’s Inc., with a degree in Art History, rather than someone who runs any kind of actual design/printing business.

By far the largest expenditure for Sanders’ event, however, was food. Nearly $4,500 in food was ordered from Ben E. Keith between Aug. 25 ($1,399.44) and Aug. 29 ($3,086.09). These orders included $203 in soft pretzel sticks, $242 in cheese dip, $362 in pre-made sliders on buns, and $439 on disposable cutlery. The pretzel sticks from the Aug. 29 order are even visible on Sanders’s Instagram.

 

Spoiler

Mansion staff ordered an additional $1,031.88 worth of goods from Sysco, which included coffee, dessert toppings, assorted fruit, spices, spoons and herbs. Another $297.86 went to an unidentified vendor for salsa ($55.78) and miscellaneous micro greens and other last-minute vegetables ($242.08).

Throw in $121.38 in trash bags, $159.64 in pizza for the folks who worked all day and evening to make the party happen and $78.85 to rent a cart, plus a few odds and ends like $60 for red napkins, and it is easy to see how the total for this party quickly climbed north of $13,000. (Receipts and records provided also did not list any alcohol purchases, though it is unclear from the few photos posted of the event whether any alcohol was served.)

As for the game, Arkansas defeated the Western Carolina Catamounts 56-13, though the on-field performance was largely overshadowed by ticketing issues, lack of available water for fans in 90-degree heat, and pre-game boos for Sanders and her husband. 

Ironically, if somewhat predictably, the whole “Undefeated” party theme and the “Best Gov/Best Coach” buttons would not age well. Lecterngate was in full swing by Sept. 15, while Arkansas lost the first of six straight games on Sept. 16. That is hardly an outcome that would justify spending $13,000+ of other people’s money.

Based on the pictures, and the final food bill tally, I assume this event was just for Sander's immediate family. Hard to imagine $242 in cheese going much further than SHS jowls.

Isn't this the kind of official stuff the governor of a two-bit state like Arkansas does? But maybe this was more of an intimate affair for just her and some of her friends/family.

The other shit described further up the thread is far more egregious IMO -- such as personal travel to Europe on private planes, $1400 payments to obviously-bogus businesses, etc.

You do have to admit that throwing an undefeated party before the season starts is a good idea.

Probably. But at the same time, using public funds for a get together involving the band, mascots, cheerleaders and the head coach---at the governors mansion---probably isn't allowed.

She's an unredeemable and vile person. She's a thief and anti-republic.

The tiny little molecule of a favorable comment I can make about her is that she has done remarkable well losing weight.

It's not easy to do. She looks okay.

She should be in jail or on a gallows, but she'd be less strain on the rope now.

"entertaining some governor from Pig's Knuckle, AR."

 

Can somebody do a mockup side-by-side or meme or whatever.  When Jerry finally gets to the Super Bowl seats and he realizes he's ending up sitting next to peak-fat Newman on Seinfeld.  There was somebody that paid $9k for a ticket to the game only to realize they'd be sandwiched in next to fucking Sarah Sanders pouring over into their seat.

Who cares if it's ozempic?

If it's ozempic, and it's literally taking a shot and doing nothing else to Lose Weight, then I'd say it fuckng mitigates the whole concept of her working to lose weight. "Doing a good job losing weight" to me means changing your diet, working out, you know, life changes.

Something else to consider is the timing of her weight loss, after she was elected governor, and lost a ton of weight while she's also been accusing of abusing state funds in several other scandals/questions. You don't have to squint to hard to plausibly say that SHE hasn't done anything to lose weight, but the Arkansas Taxpayers may have...

As much as I loathe her, her grifting, and everything she stands for, she did have a cancer a year or so ago.

Womp womp.

How come only the bad famous people ever seem to overcome cancer?
