Arkansas Gov app question: "What is an accomplishment of the Governor's that you admire the most?"


Sarah Huckabee Sanders blames design error for state board application question asking for compliments

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is now saying that a recent application for individuals looking to serve on state boards and committees that included a question asking them to note an accomplishment of hers that they admire was a "design error."

News outlets in Arkansas, including the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, reported about the cloying question earlier this week.

The form asked applicants to include an answer to the following question: "What is an accomplishment of the Governor's that you admire the most?"

The day after the news about the question broke, the application form went dark. When it came back online, the questions had changed.

Alexa Henning, Ms Sanders' spokesperson, said the question was not intended for the broader application, but instead was meant for summer interns looking to work for the governor, according to the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

The gracious and magnanimous way Sarah Huckabee Sanders handles personal criticism. Like a Marine drill sergeant whose shoes are too tight.

do you most admire?"

My answer: Gov. Beebe's expansion of Medicaid and his 70+% approval ranting.
