Stabenow's husband tells police he had sex with prostitute

CNN ^

[Notwithstanding]

The husband of U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow told police he used the Internet to make a date with a prostitute and paid her $150 for sex at a hotel in Troy.

A police report says Troy officers stopped 46-year-old Thomas Athans on February 26th during a stakeout of the hotel. They ticketed him for driving with a suspended license but didn't file any sex charges. They say he's cooperating with investigators.

Police arrested a 20-year-old woman in the hotel room on a prostitution charge.

Athans co-founded the liberal TalkUSA Radio network two years ago. So far, there's no comment from the office of the Democratic senator.

Keeping Up Appearances is a good show.

Since there was no early mention of party affiliation in title or first paragraph, I assume she is a dem?

Good assumption! You are correct!

Now that I see the wife’s picture I still can’t condone what the husband did.
But I DO understand.

Well he might be a little less bone crushingly stupid than eliot Spitzer.

Spitzer had a good looking wife and paid 4 grand a pop to get laid.

Another good old feminist double standard.

They arrested the prostitute but not the john, a situation which feminists have (rightly) railed about for years.

But you won't hear a peep from the feminists on this. I guess, as long as you're a Democrat senator and you vote reliably Communist, everything is forgivable.

She’s 57 and looks more like 67

[tobyhill]

Debbie Stabenow should have a press conference and demand her husband be arrested because it's not fair that the woman gets the raw end of the deal.

[societygirl]

Well, they call her Debiie StabeCOW in the Senate.

[societygirl]

Maybe they arrested her for having bad taste.

[tobyhill]

You're probably right because after all he does work for liberal Radio.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Not even with Al Franken’s.

[societygirl]

But look WHAT he’s married to. You have to feel for him. But the RESIDENCE INN, and $150? And CRAIGSLST? ROTFLMAO!!!!

[Holicheese]

At least he is buying the $150 hooker instead of the $5000 hooker.

Your dollar goes farther in Michigan

Stabenow, Gov. Grandholm, Major Kilpatrick and his Mom Congresswomen Kilpatrick, are all super delegates for Hillary.

Ouch, I bet Team Clinton is looking for some spin-control for all of the above.

Especially if things get as bad as I think they will for Kawame.

lol

[martin_fierro]

Guilty.

[cmsgop]

She looks like the S&M type to me.......

...After NY’s Client-9 and Client-Blind this helps makes Dem look like pervs!!!

Don't forget the "Hip Hop" Mayor of Detroit!

[strange1]

Whew! I'm sure Debbie was relieved that it was a female ...

to coin a quote from Jack Nicklson "now who'd have thoughth that would be a bright spot"?
