Carmen Kontur Gronquist Posed in Black Bra & Panties!
Carmen Kontur Gronquist is the Mayor of Arlington,and is now in trouble for her racy MySpace lingerie photos. Read more details below.
Carmen Kontur Gronquis upset the residents of Arlington because she posted pictures, wearing only a black bra and panties on her MySpace page. She was on one of the town’s fire engines. The MySpace page was blocked and only available to her friends, but the pictures were at one time available to all MySpace 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.
“It’s a picture of her in bra and panties on a rural protection fire truck in a rural protection firehall,” said Lorena Woods, a longtime resident. “This isn’t the way we want our city to be portrayed.”
She responded:
That my personal life,” she said staunchly. “It has nothing to do with my mayor’s position.” She said the photos were taken before she was mayor, but saw no reason to remove them from the Internet after she took 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 … and if this is all they have to do, there is nothing they can do about it.” The mayor also refused to provide a fuller context about the photos. “I’m not going to answer that,” she said, seconds before hanging up the phone.
Carmen 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.
The Councilman Jeff Bufton mentioned that he heard a lot of negative comments about the pictures, but declined to say whether the council plans to address the issue.
As soon as we will locate the racy lingerie pictures we will post them here.

Digital Billboards To Broadcast Iowa Caucus Results
As numerous writers have noted, Iowa polling data doesn't tell us much of anything because of the complexities of the variables involved. 
So the best "poll" to watch this evening would be the actual caucus results, which will be broadcast live online and on digital billboards in Iowa.
"We expect the bulk of the results to be in by 9.30 pm to 10 ," says Chris Allen, the Iowa Democratic Party's press secretary. (A Republican party representative couldn't be reached at the time of this posting.)
Both the Iowa Democratic party and the Republican Party of Iowa have partnered with Google to broadcast the phoned-in results visually online via Google Maps. It looks as if the Democrats' site will report the phoned-in results of its precincts live online, while the Republicans will report aggregated county results.
All this means that instead of watching the yammering pundits on television all evening, you could just check in online -- after all now you have the same access to the real-time data as the press does.
But if you feel that you must check in with some of the bloviators, and that you'd like a different take from CNN and Fox News, you could check in online with lefty bloggers and others who will be reporting in from Iowa at Air America's The Young Turks show.
I'm still looking for conservative bloggers at large in Iowa. Please feel free to e-mail me, or share your plans with our readers in the comments section below if you're a conservative blogger planning on reporting from the scene.
