Jan Brewer To Skip Governors Dinner At White House On Sunday

WASHINGTON -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R), in town for the National Governors Association conference, will skip a White House dinner Sunday honoring the nation's governors, telling staff she does not want to participate in a "social" event.

The dinner, an annual event hosted by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, is one of the conference's highlights. Brewer's decision comes a month after she dramatically confronted the president at a Phoenix area airport over his response to her portrayal of him in her book.

"I'm not," Brewer told The Huffington Post when asked whether she would attend the dinner.

The Huffington Post overheard Brewer telling gubernatorial staffers prior to Saturday's opening NGA session that she would skip the dinner because it was a "social" function, but that she would attend Monday's White House meeting between governors and Obama because it was a "policy" event.

1. Good

Her very presence could curdle vinegar..

[southernyankeebelle]

9. She'll be curdled enough herself I am sure.

[FSogol]

2. That's ok, Brewer won't be missed. n/t

[Enrique]

3. "I don't eat with you"

[Lochloosa]

10. In the South..that is considered the ultimate insult.

[Ian David]

15. What is? Refusing to eat with someone? n/t

[Lochloosa]

29. Yes. It's like saying "i won't drink with you"

[Little Star]

4. Yeah, she certainly wouldn't want to socialize…

with this president and first lady. What an ass!!!

[Siwsan]

5. That should help a lot of appetites

She looks like she might reek of nicotine and way too much old lady perfume.

[bluestateguy]

6. These things tend to be remembered when a natural disaster strikes that state

and the governor then comes hat in hand, asking for federal money.

These things tend to be remembered .

[New Yawker]

18. Arizona is prone to wildfires

I'm sure the FEMA will be there in three to six months for Brewer only. The rest less than a day.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. That's certainly good news for the other attendees. n/t

[MarianJack]

8. Good Riddance!

PEACE!

[Fuzz]

11. The emotional maturity of these people is so stunted.

[appleannie1]

12. She is the only one missing something good. Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

[benld74]

13. Shes got too much to do, with running AZ into the ground and all,,,,,

[HopeHoops]

14. Yeah. It might be vegetarian - EWWWW!

Note: I can joke about that because I AM vegetarian.

[Turbineguy]

16. Being a dumbfuck

may not be as easy as many might suppose....

[NYC Liberal]

17. As if she'll be missed...

[Thinkingabout]

19. Now they can celebrate

Wonder what it would take for her to leave the USA. She made a complete ass out of herself before and she probably was not promised a photo op this time.

[msanthrope]

20. She strikes me as the type who drinks lunch, and doesn't make it to the dinner table, anyway. nt

[tanyev]

21. It's OK, Jan. President Obama is way too classy to throw a bucket of water on you.

[Historic NY]

22. She heard cold shoulder was on the menu.

[Ichingcarpenter]

23. Its a social event she likes to drink alone

because she knows she can't handle social settings.

Her Gut is a dead giveaway.

[WonderGrunion]

24. The governor of one of the last states to recognize MLK Day won't dine with our 1st black President

I wonder what the reason for that could be. I bet she worked on the Evan Mecham campaign.

[jsmirman]

25. I don't mean to offend

but her resemblance to a cheesy Halloween decoration is just stunning.

It's like someone needs to drop a house on her.

[CTyankee]

28. It's her unfortunate chin. You can see it in the photo the OP provided...

[JNelson6563]

26. At least she won't stink the place up.

[spanone]

27. perhaps her invitation got 'lost in the mail' ?

[11 Bravo]

30. She heard prunes were on the menu, and she feared that someone would mistakenly chew her face off.

[Obamacare]

31. Good, she is one fugly sonofb*tch inside and out!!!

[Jello Biafra]

32. Sounds like she doesn't do social events...

with black people. But she's not a racist.......
