A mayor was fired in Oregon after posting pictures on myspace....the myspace album was only visable to her friends. So what do you think- should she have been fired?

 

 

TO read more you can see a article here:

Town abuzz over mayor’s racy MySpace page

edit: you can also see a video of her being interviewed on the NBC "Today Show" on 3-3-08 

Too Sexy To Be Mayor? on the Today Show

Re: Mayor fired after pictures on myspace

Yes, she should have been fired.  If you're mayor or in politics at all, you're a public figure, and everyone knows that anything on the Internet is never completely private.

Re: Mayor fired after pictures on myspace

Hmmmm well in Britain London has just voted in a Mayor who in my opinion has done worse things...not that I'm biased or bitter about it!
I don't know the full story. She posted sexy pics right? Well surely she would know they would get out, even if only her friends could see her album. Maybe she wanted the pics to get out because she's proud of her appearence, it just backfired really bad!
Either way I think it's a bit of a risky and stupid thing to do.

Re: Mayor fired after pictures on myspace

i dont thik she should have been fired, someone probably contacted her friend, and said, "hey, get anything we can use against her" so the person did, but thats my idea,

The only stupid question is the one that remains unasked

Re: Mayor fired after pictures on myspace

I didn't read the links posted here, but I heard about this on the news last week. I could be wrong, but I thought the pics had something to do with a charity? I don't remember. And I thought it was a relative of hers that put the pics up...? Either way, it probably wasn't something she should have been fired over. Anyone wanting to live in the public eye really needs to be careful about this kind of stuff.

Re: Mayor fired after pictures on myspace

The pictures were taken before she was mayor. Should she have taken them down? Probably. Should she have gotten fired because these were up? I don't think so. Nowhere in the article does it mention what kind of a job she was doing as mayor. Maybe they were just looking for a reason to fire her.

Re: Mayor fired after pictures on myspace

if she's dumb enough or has such poor judgement that she wouldn't know better than to remove those pics on myspace, i wouldn't want her running my town making important decisions and handling the budget

Re: Mayor fired after pictures on myspace

She wouldn't look bad if she'd take a day off (okay, a few months off) from the tanning salon... that and put on makeup that didn't look muddy.

I think she's an idiot for posting any pictures like that as a mayor... 'friend's only' doesn't mean crap if you're a mayor and have the entire city on your friend's list. It's a stupid reason to get fired, but that's how it works nowadays.

Re: Mayor fired after pictures on myspace

I dont think she should have been fired.

That being said, I think shes an idiot. Anyone who is a public figure and chooses to post those sort of images on a public domain should face the consequences of their actions. If you dont want someone to see it, dont post it on the internet.

Re: Mayor fired after pictures on myspace

I agree she is a idiot.  At first I thought give me a break - it's a private profile and she is a adult.  Plus is this any more revealing than what you would see in a bikini.  THEN I noticed the truck (see the engines lights) and read it the article:

where at one time anyone could see photos of her on one of the town's fire engines

OK that does make her a HUGE idiot.  Posing on the town's fire engines did cross the line and I can see why they took action.  Should she have been fired - I dunno I didn't see all of the pictures.  At the very least her stupidity of posing on the fire engines should have gotten her in trouble.

I chocked on my coffee reading that - I am now sporting coffee on my blouse at work - LOL...........off to the little girls room to clean up.  I don't know what will be worse a coffee stain or getting it wet (white blouse) - either way I'm a mess now but that was priceless! Surprised

Re: Mayor fired after pictures on myspace

I think it was wrong to fire her.  From the pics I saw she was not doing anything wrong.  So what, she was a beautfful woman who had a sexy pic taken.  We didn't impeach Bill and he got a ho lot more IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

"That's my personal life," she said. "It has nothing to do with my mayor's position."

 

nothing wrong with the pic. she's hot! except she is using public property in her personal life.

 

Tuna...the other white meat!
