For the second time in as many months, our “Sphincter Spotlight” is a town of prudes. In January, we told you about how the folks in Duncanville, Texas were trying to rid their city of a swingers’ pad called The Cherry Pit. This month, we bring you the story of a tiny community with a super-hot mayor and a population of über-conservative bluenoses and rumormongers.

Since early January, Carmen Kontur-Gronquist, the town’s first female mayor, has been under attack by the citizens she serves – without pay – because of some tastefully revealing photos on her personal MySpace^® page. There has even been talk about removing her from office via a petition and recall election.

The pictures in question were taken in August of 2004, several months before Kontur-Gronquist was elected. They were taken after a day at the beach with a friend who happened to be a volunteer firefighter. With the permission of the fire chief at that time and at her friend’s urging, Kontur-Gronquist posed for a now infamous picture on a fire truck while donning a black bra and panties.

Had her picture been taken while on the beach in a bikini, we doubt her critics would have much to fuss about, even though the amount of skin showing would be roughly the same. But because the picture shows her in underwear and on a fire truck, they want to run her out of office.

Since the hullabaloo first erupted, Kontur-Gronquist has restricted access to her MySpace profile so that only her approved friends can access it. Unfortunately for the buff, 42-year-old, single mom, that judicious move has not abated the torrent of criticism flowing from her constituency.

Arlington resident Lorena Woods said the photos reflect poorly on her city. “This isn’t the way we want to be portrayed,” Woods told the Associated Press. It seems Woods would prefer to have a fully clothed, fat slob for a mayor rather than be led by a hard-bodied MILF.

It’s not surprising that it took three years for Arlington’s enlightened, web-savvy electorate to discover the pictures on the internet. If they thought the pics of their mayor were salacious and tawdry, just wait until they stumble upon 2girls1cup.com.

The idiots calling for her ouster are not only a bunch of old maids, but they’re also quite shortsighted. If they were smart, instead of calling for her head, they would capitalize on Kontur-Gronquist’s rock-hard bod and gorgeous looks. Imagine the economic boon that could be created by marketing Arlington as the city with the hottest mayor in America.

Furthermore, if the people of Arlington were truly concerned about their town’s image, they would be less concerned about changing their mayor and more concerned with changing their slogan. Last time we checked, it’s still “Home of the Honkers.” Just take one good look at their mayor’s picture and you’ll see why.
