Dem Senator’s Hubby Caught in Hooker Bust
Hooker. Big Beaver Road. Exit 69. Could a Dem Senator’s husband have possibly been caught in a worse place during a prostitution sting?
If today was April 1st, I’d view the following story a bit skeptically. However. It’s April 2nd.
The co-founder and former CEO of the liberal-progressive Democracy Radio and husband of U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow was caught in February by a Troy police sting aimed at catching prostitutes, according to a police report.
Thomas L. Athans was stopped Feb. 26 by undercover officers investigating a possible prostitution ring in a room at the Residence Inn near Big Beaver and Interstate 75. Athans paid a 20-year-old prostitute $150 for sex in a Troy hotel but was not arrested, according to police reports obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by The Detroit News…
Hooker. Big Beaver Road. Exit 69. I’m not making this up.
Debbie Stabenow has been on my personal shitlist since she voted for the Indentured Servitude Act of 2005, and extended her stay on my list after voting for torture in 2006. Still, I don’t particularly wish her husband’s indiscretions upon her.

It is my understanding that Mitch McCaonnel has been seen trolling the restrooms at Big Bone Lick State Park in his native Kentucky. Just a rumor, and if anyone asks, I’m the one who started it.
Debbie is my senator–although she seldom represents my interests. There is no sense in pearl clutching when it comes to her husband. Prostitution is not going out of business because there is always a demand. He is one of the caught johns but there are many others who are not caught. My concern is that according to reports here in Michigan, the SOP is to arrest the prostitutes and let the johns testify against them. So, were these men intimidated into accepting a BJ? Come on, this is a two (or more) person offense, Why are only the sellers charged?
