Still, Kiker insisted that Janke wasn't fired because of his wife's job.

"We didn't fire him because his wife was a porn star," Kiker griped, adding that the decision wasn't a "knee-jerk reaction."

However, the mayor also noted: "It was not his job performance. We all liked Scott ... He's a good guy."

Kiker said he learned of Janke's wife's job after receiving a telephone call from a reporter on Tuesday. He said he then spoke to Janke, who agreed "this was going to be a big disruption for the town and he was not going to be able to do his job well."

Within a few hours, Kiker had called an emergency town council meeting, and the group voted 5-0 to exercise a "no-cause" clause in Janke's contract, effectively firing him.

Janke said he married Anabela Mota Janke, who goes by the stage name Jazella Moore, in October. He began working for the town in March 2008.

Dan Miller, editor at the AVN Media Network, which covers the adult industry, said he had not heard of a similar case, but noted the adult film industry is "not necessarily widely accepted" in mainstream American politics.

Diane Duke, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry, said the firing could present legal problems for the town.

Duke said even with a "no-cause" clause in Jenke's contract, as a government employee he is still protected by the First Amendment.

"There may very well be a case here," she said.

Added Howard Simon, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida: "His firing may run up against Florida's law that prohibits discrimination based on marital status."

I read about the story yesterday. It sucks! I hope more people will do the same as Ryanair when it was discovered that one of their hostess did adult on the side a few months ago.

Yeah, it's stupid. Funny how everyone watches porn but they cannot know or have someone work for/with them that has any relation to it.

Jesus people are stupid. Hopefully his wife will get some good free publicity out of this.

Im sure her website is buzzing today.

Florida is so awesomely fucked up...

The southeast coast of Florida needs to secede from the rest of the state and become its own state.

Let me be the first to nominate Simon for governor of the Conch Republic.

Same with the entire state of Texas with the exception of my hometown of Austin lol...

Ok, New Texas and Southeast Florida can become the new Conch Republic.

Any other places want to secede and become part of the Conch Republic?

Maybe the Mud Flap Girl could become our flag. :D

Heh... actually my only problem with turning Austin into an island is we kinda need the rest of the state to protect us from the tornadoes and the hurricanes...

You're welcome. |hurricane

OH SHIT that's right... sorry Toby!

"he southeast coast of Florida needs to secede from the rest of the state and become its own state."

LOL, North Cuba, where New Yorkers spend the winter.

"Ok, New Texas and Southeast Florida can become the new Conch Republic."

New Texas is already named Kuwait. Iraq is New Oklahoma.

I dunno, LAJ. Hurricanes are probably the only way we're gonna see any rain around these parts for the foreseeable future. |hotjump|

We'll know we've finally turned a corner towards sanity in this country when the headline reads "Porn star fired for being married to politician."

I bet she got lots of traffic from that...
