Big news here, folks. Another Democrat has been caught with a whore. It’s the husband of Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow.

“The husband of US Sen. Debbie Stabenow told police he used the Internet to make a date with a prostitute and paid her $150 for sex at a hotel, according to a police report.”

Hundred and fifty bucks? I guess maybe that’s what it is in Michigan. I forgot, economic times, Michigan taxes, etc., even the whores have had to drop prices.

“Thomas Athans, 46, cofounder of the liberal Talk USA Radio network was stopped by police who were investigating Internet-based prostitution at the hotel.”

The Detroit Free Press put this story on its website today.

“The newspaper said they obtained the police report through the state Freedom of Information Act. The Associated Press left telephone messages for Troy police on Wednesday. Stabenow, in a statement, said it was ‘very disturbing and serious. Obviously it’s a deeply difficult and personal matter.’ — does this remind anyone of the 90’s, or is it just me?

Police stopped Athans’ car after he left the Residence Inn in Troy on Feb. 26. They ticketed him for driving with a suspended license, but did not bring any sex charges against him. He was very cooperative. He didn’t tell officers who he was. He didn’t ask for any special treatment. Police arrested Alycia Martin, 20, of Westland in the hotel room on a charge of prostitution and confiscated a cell phone, laptop…”

They went after the whore? They went after the whore this time?

Normally, our culture makes celebrities out of the whores. They end up being invited on Donald Trump shows, Playboy wants ’em, all these other cable networks, everyone makes starlets out of these prostitutes.

By the way, somebody said to me, about David Paterson when he was having the affair. “Why at a Day’s Inn? Of all places, why a Day’s Inn?” I said, “He can’t see. He’s legally blind, it doesn’t matter to him so of course cost will be a factor.” I don’t think it’s true of Stabenow, he can see, so no excuse for him, other than the economy, these are hard times. I know, David Paterson may be legally blind and can’t see that he’s in a Day’s Inn, but this Athans guy can see.

But I’m not going any further than that, folks, because people are so depressed with the rotten economic times, they might not appreciate the humor, so… reining it in here for the economy.
