The "land of the free"? Yeah, right.

(AP)

A town manager who married a porn star last year was fired at an emergency meeting after the mayor and council members learned about it.

Fort Myers Beach town council voted 5-0 to fire Scott Janke "without cause" after Mayor Larry Kiker called the Tuesday night meeting.

He should be fired. That is not the example your representative should support.

I'm not that judgmental. If someone can do his job well, I don't see why his personal life should play a role in whether or not he's allowed to keep his job.

You're serious??? Give me a fricking break! Tell me something, how does his porn star wife have any bearing on the job he performs? I 'd really like to know.

It's these kinds of examples which have taught our youth to have little to no respect for adults.

Yeah, and it said the town council had an "emergency meeting" just to fire him. They probably paid themselves overtime for the meeting.

I would sue the bast**ds that fired me using this for an excuse for many, many times my salary and then insist in getting my job back. What a man's wife did or does for a living is none of the town's business.
