I literally learned the news of SHS's White House departure from this tender farewell message on Facebook. 😎 💅 😂
And from—where else—The Hollywood Reporter:
Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders Leaving the White House
Many of her deputies, including Raj Shah and Lindsay Walters, have already left the administration. And the White House has been working without a communications director since Bill Shine abruptly announced his departure in March. That position has previously been held by Hope Hicks, Anthony Scaramucci, Spicer and Mike Dubke.
One of Sanders' legacies will be the disappearance of the daily White House press briefing, which was must-see TV during the Spicer era.
For those not familiar with Beach Blanket Babylon, it's the world's longest-running musical review. Started in San Francisco in 1974 and now in its 45th year, the show recently announced plans to close for good at the end of 2019.
Known for its up-to-the-minute topical humor, BBB has gleefully skewered pop culture icons and politicians across the political spectrum—but, to be honest, mostly Republicans, because they continue to be the most ridiculous.
Here, from 2017, together on one stage with La Huckabee Sanders, are: Sarah Palin, Bill Clinton, and Jeff Sessions. (I saw the show recently with one of San Francisco's favorite out-of-town guests, belinda ridgewood, and SHS's bit in the show was one of the most screamingly funny parts of an evening overflowing with laughs.)
