Mayor Kontur-Gronquist...

1. Her political career will not survive this.
2. She will collect a nice check from Hugh Hefner.
If Jesse Ventura finally decides to take a crack at fixing this country, he should have her as his Vice President. Anybody in politics with the cajones to tell her constituency to "Get over it.", I'd vote for.

Mayor's Racy Lingerie Photo on MySpace Upsets Residents
ARLINGTON, Ore. — Mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist's name is sure to be mentioned when Arlington holds its annual town meeting Wednesday.
Some of the mayor's roughly 500 constituents will want to know her views on the issues affecting the Eastern Oregon community; others will want to talk about her underwear.
The mayor's lingerie is a hot topic here, with some residents upset that she posted pictures of herself wearing only a black bra and panties on her MySpace page. She was on one of the town's fire engines.
Kontur-Gronquist's MySpace page is blocked to all but her friends, but the pictures were at one time available to all users. In an interview with the (Pendleton) East Oregonian, the mayor said she did nothing wrong and those who are offended need to get over it.
"That's my personal life," she said. "It has nothing to do with my mayor's position."
Kontur-Gronquist, who is also the fire department's executive secretary, said the photos were taken before she was elected mayor three years ago, and she saw no reason to remove them from the Internet after taking office.
"I'm not going to change who I am," she said. "There's a lot of officials that have a personal life, and you have people in this community who have nothing better to do than scrape up stuff like this."
