Hmmmmm....

Let's see, Playgirl last time I checked was considered porn (maybe wrong don't read it, but from what I have heard).

Now the GOP wants to crack down hard on porn.

So would it make sense for a business to keep and to promote someone as a leader of that company, that publicly admits to voting for people that would censor and fine your company?

That would be like Smith and Wesson having a VP admit and talk openly about how he votes for Democrats.

Well, the public perception rightly or wrongly is that Dems. favor gun control.

That shows a conflict of interest, and could very well harm Smith and Wesson's business.

So while she had the right to vote for anyone she chose to, publicly stating she voted for the party that would harm you, would be grounds, in my mind for dismissal.

Exactly the same way that in my example the VP for S&W should lose his job.

The email she sent to Drudge sounds more like a disenfranchised former employee that has an ax to grind. Not to mention, Drudge is sooooo very non partisan that he wouldn't try to take swipes and post letters that only slam one party while trying to make the author look totally innocent.

It would be like my example S&W guy going on talk shows and talking about why he was fired.

I'm sorry but companies have the right to protect themselves, and dismiss anoyone that publicly shows a conflict of interest and this is an example... nothing more nothing less.
