Design error? Whatty what what?

It will come as no surprise that I don't have a lot of respect or affection for Sarah Huckabee Sanders. 

When she was Trump's Press Secretary, I found her to be duplicitous, a willing conduit for Trump's incessant spew of lies. As Governor of Arkansas, I find her to be preposterous, posturing about social hot button issues when her state is rock-bottom when it comes to most measures of health and welfare. 

Sure, your state may rank 48th in health, and 47th when it comes to education, but by all means, let's crack down on drag shows.

Turns out she's not just duplicitous and preposterous, Sarah Huckabee Sanders can be downright ludicrous.

The state was looking for was an up to 500 word essay answering this prompt:

 "What is an accomplishment of the Governor’s that you admire the most?"

In contrast, a question that asked "What book have you read that would best define your life and why?" only had room for a 250 word answer. 

Five-hundred words on Sarah Huckabee Sanders' biggest and bestest accomplishment?

Yikes!

I could probably come up with 500 words on her recent response to Joe Biden's State of the Union, in which she did manage to tell one truth when she said:

“The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left; the choice is between normal or crazy,” she said.

Only Sanders was positioning the right as the normies. 

Yes, there are indeed crazies on the left, and there are plenty of ludicrous fake woke-y things going on out there, but when it comes to normal v. crazy... 

Come on, man, as arch normie Joe Biden might say. 

Anyway, I've been asked dumb things when I applied for jobs, but no one ever asked me to write about how fab the CEO is.

Turns out that the Sanders' administration has acknowledged that this silly question was out there, but chalked it up to a "design error."

"Design error"? How could something so ludicrous be a "design error"? Somebody wrote that essay question. That's not a "design error." That's a content  error. 

Oh, I guess if you asked some lower lever employee to come up with the application form - maybe someone young and naive; maybe someone who's just a true blue, natural born, dedicated ass-kisser - you could say that was a "design error." 

And I guess picking such a person could come under the broadly defined category of "design error." Sort of. It may just be me, but I usually think of including bad UI, clumsy navigation, paths to nowhere, etc. 

According to Sanders spokesperson Alexa Henning, that question was intended only for people applying for summer internships, not official positions on state boards. (Source: Raw Story)

 What? Whatty what what?

It would be okay for young folks applying for summer internships to be required to do some apple polishing? 

What? Whatty what what?

How about asking the young folks to write an essay about some great Arkansan that they admired? Sure, the most ass-kissing of the ass-kissing applicants would have found their way to writing about Sarah Huckabee Sanders or her father, the former governor, Mike Huckabee.

Or they could have picked Johnny Cash. If they were a bit righter-than right leaning could have thrown their application lot with a paean to Douglas MacArthur. 

Someone with guts, but who really didn't want the internship, could have written about Bill Clinton.

What someone admires most about Sarah Huckabee Sanders???

Stupid, stupid, stupid idea. 

Design error? Nah...

Just a really flawed way of thinking. Guess that what happens when you throw in with cults..
