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…

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.
