Governor dipped

This article was published on 01.21.10

Sheep Dip, a show spoofing Nevada events, was held last weekend in Sparks. Gov. Jim Gibbons became the first Nevada governor in the 46-year history of the program to refuse to participate—his staffers said Sheep Dip had previously treated him badly—prompting producers to make his refusal a focus of the show. Former first lady Dawn Gibbons, fresh from her divorce from the governor, participated and was warmly applauded. Above, Jackie Ford impersonates Michael Jackson.
