...would do it again...

By a vote of 142 to 138 the Arlington Oregon mayor who posed in her skivvies on MySpace and then was stunned that a)her voters would find out, and b)that they would care was recalled.

Firmly grasping non-reality she still believed the recall vote had more to do with her firing of two workers from the municipal golf course...

Some of her defenders on message boards this morning are claiming this doesn't rise to the level of offense of Billy Jeff's bad behavior in the Oval Office. The argument is since what he did was "worse" and he didn't lose his job...

(eyes rolling)

Acting on a hunch I've also been scanning the internets all morning to attempt to decipher her party affiliation - which strangely is quite the secret. That puts it squarely in the realm of being a liberal democrat... if she were a conservative, and caught all this heat - she would be the poster child for "hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite" all over the nation.

not brains
She probably figured she wasn't elected for her brains in the first place. And she probably wasn't.

I'd say it must have been a slow news day, but if that were true there would be no excuse for your not actually reading the articles. Apparently you just looked at the picture and the headline, saw the vote total and made up your own version.

A) the pics were taken, by a female firefighter, with the fire chief's permission, years before she was elected mayor, B) she didn't post them on myspace - an internet-savvy [read ''younger''] relative with 'good-intentions' did, hoping to pep up the now 42-year-old single mother's social life, and that ALSO occurred years before she was elected to, C) the non-paying mayor's position.

You're stuck on finding out her political party (I bet she's a republican, myself... and the drive to kick her out was probably started by Larry Craig sympathizers), but I'd rather know how it is a town of 500 people that can't afford to pay their mayor a salary has the funds for a ''municipal golf course.'' I'll bet THAT's a real cash cow. [Sarcasm intended, in case it was too subtle.]

wow
We'll give a two faced backstabber like John McCain a promotion where he can do even more damage with his stupid policies and forgive him for turning his back on his party and principles, but let's kick an unpaid small town mayor out of office for posing in her underpants. Yeah, we've got some really savvy people in our voting bloc.
