Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, April 02, 2008

TROY -- 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.

I saw a guy in a late model Beamer pick up a street hooker yesterday - it was still light out! People are crazy.

" prostitution ring in a room at the Residence Inn near Big Beaver "

Of course!

It just goes to show you that the biological imperative still trumps ideology.

I suspect that this john was vocal regarding not "exploiting" women, while a conservative john would have defended her activity as a matter of "her" choice, and the operation of free enterprise.

I wonder what the interaction will be between the Senator and her liberal activist husband? Will she dump him for 1) exposing her to disease, 2) impacting her political carrer, 3) getting caught?

Of course, the lefties can rationalize this situation as the prostitute was a black woman, and he was attempting to set up interracial intimacy and understanding.

Besides, it wasn't sex according to the modern day definition. As Mr. Clinton observed, it depends on what "is" is. And today youngsters don't consider "hummers" sex. it's akin to kissing among older folk. It's like the Greek girls preserving their "vrginity," instead engaging in anal sex.

COYOTE, Cast Off Your Old Tired Ethics, as the San Fracisco organized prostitute's group used to say. Consensual sex should be freely marketed. After all, we should not discourage entrepreneurial behavior.

And in pretending that biological impulses do not impel and control our behavior, we are trying to convert a fiction into reality. All we do is get prominent political figures in difficulty by trying to thwart nature with legislation. We waste resources enforcing such restrictions, and our enforcement efforts are doomed as sex is pervasive.

Johnson, as laughable as all your posts are, I don't really recall any so-called "lefty" rationalizing the actions of Elliot Spitzer, do you? And he resigned, admirably and rightly, in a timely fashion. And no one will "rationlize" this either. Unlike a certain Senator Vitter from Louisiana who is (surprise!) a Republican. Another "inconvenient truth"

Senator's Hubby Bought Sex Near Big Beaver

RCADE, nice job with the headline! I bow down to your creative genius!

The Beave (Jerry Mathers), from Leave it to Beaver, came to town a few years back to dedicate that road when it was reconstructed, lol.

So the last campaign ads showing Debbie Stabenou as a cardboard stand up were accurate....according to Debbie's husband. Too funny. Just goes to show you....big beaver is not all it is cracked up to be.

"Ward, don't you think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night?"

Was the prostitute's name Winona by any chance?

"They arrested the woman, identified as Alycia Lorraine Martin"

Big Beaver? Eeeeeeww.

"Senator's Hubby Bought Sex Near Big Beaver"

Did he just pay her to look at it?

15 minutes...that's the real crime.

"15 minutes...that's the real crime."

Sorry Pancho, apparently she didn't charge by 2 minute increments.

Oh God.......

We all know how heterosexual activity pisses of those on the Right.

This ought to be fun.

Oh, and when it comes to Pussy for Dollars................Legalize It!!!!

Gee MP why the hetero reference....shouldn't Barney Frank's roomate be able to practice Dick for Dollars with male encounters? Are you suggesting discrimination?

Have you seen his wife? No wonder dude went to prostitutes.

Jo, I was alluding to Wynona's big brown beaver, albeit with a spelling error.

The only thing that gets me about this is that the guy admitted to paying $150 for 15 minutes with the hooker. What a cheap ass bastard. At least Spitzer had the class to spend the money, and it's not like this guy was hurting for cash. 15 minutes....cheap bastard.

Wynona's big brown beaver

Best. Primus .Vid. EVAR!!!

There goes that pendulum again. It DOES indeed swing both ways.

I'll bet more people have already commented on this thread, than the number of people who ever tuned in to Democracy Radio.

How big was it? Could you walk in or just poke your head in?

ROC......I am sure you are correct...

and

Ward, don't you think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night?"

Posted by Jomama at


good one....and I have always wondered if this was an inside joke and that show....or do you think they ever thought that it might be a double entendra.......in her day, ward probably wanted to pound her beaver......


and I guess this guy wants to be considered in the next governors race for almost any state around the upper east coast.

Hmmm - lots of great guitarists named Steve -

I thought you didn't have a problem with homosexulaity. "at least they are out there screwing Women." This clearly indicates that you see male on male sex as a bad thing. What exacltly IS your stance, Celisary? Oh, that's right, dems never have a clear stance on anything. Never mind.

The leaders of our country, what an example. They pass laws against prostitution and then they go out and break their own laws. I'm impressed.

If it's just sex, why don't they make it legal for everyone?

C'mon -- How stupid can anyone in the public eye be? Plus Stabenow is a smart babe! Why screw up a relationship with her for 15 minutes with a tawdry $150 slut? Not good.

Agreed. The guy is a fucking loser.

Hope she kicks his ass to the curb over this shit PDQ. No wonder Air America failed with this guy as the CEO.

Be Well.

If Johns went to jail fer having sex with prostitutes rather than Vice Versa then it would be made legal so quickly it'd make yer head spin.

Johns are punished as well.

The problem with prostitution is the 'neighborhood effect'. A vast majority of people don't want to live near the culture that surrounds areas of prostitution.

The problem with prostitution is that is is illegal. To try to regulate human morality is the height of ignorance. Prostitution will be around forever. Dealing with FACTS has long been a republican problem.

FACTS are--prostitution will always exist, and laws punishing people for prostitution are against the welfare of society.(Don't even try to come up with the weak BS about Banks will always be robbed--should we make bank robbing legal TOO??? If you can't see the difference, have the decency to STFU before you kill yourself.)

FACTS are that if prostitution were legalized, the spead of STDs would drop dramatically.

FACTS are if prostitution were legalized money would be diverted from criminals enterprises.

FACTS are if prostitution were legalized, Johns wouldn't be beaten as often, and prostitutes wouldn't be beaten and killed as often.

Of course the republican way is to ignore Facts and keep on punishing normal human behaviour because you think that's what Jebus would do. It will go on this way until humans get smarter than a doorknob--in other words--forever.

What's the preferred "Libertarian" position on this? Is it male superior, or male inferior?

Dems are male inferior. Repubs are male superior.

On another tack, it's amazing how leftist celisary has exposed himself as a "closet homophobe." Isn't this against the tenets of leftyism? How will the lefties deal with this defection?

But then again, it appears that for lefties, party politics trumps sexual orientation as a cause. A righty homo is cut no slack. The political sharks circle for the feast.

"A vast majority of people don't want to live near the culture that surrounds areas of prostitution."

Don't buy a house near a cheap motel....duh!

"Dems are male inferior."

I prefer the doggystyle.

EVERYLONG....HOMOSEXUALITY, is clearly no problem for me. If you have read any of my comments in the past you know that. My point about the Republicians an Homosexuality is that they almost to the man in Congress have fought against Gay rights all the time they an there supporters seem to find the male rear end to there liking!!!!

JOhnson

Finish the statement.

Righty homos that vote against gay rights are cut no slack.

from the article:

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.

Wonder why Rcade's headline read:

"Senator's Hubby Bought Sex Near Big Beaver"

instead of

"Senator's Hubby Bought Sex Near Interstate 75"?

I wonder if he ran into Colonel Angus?


(Any Walken fans out there?)

Well, that's my point, Celisary. You said 'at least they're screwing women', as opposed to men. And, like I said, this shows nothing else other than you would want guys screwing women as opposed to men.

You wrote it that way, not me.

Come on EVERLONG....that kind of posting that CelaryDick(tm) made is simply the hypocrisy of the DR left...nothing less, nothing more.

Should prostitution be legalized?

www.myfoxdetroit.com

Take the poll.

I voted yes.

So the Repubs vote against gay rights, but some have a propensity for gay sex.

The Dems on the other hand vote against prostitution, and some have a propensity for hookers.

Seems the same...

And this guy is no prince--ugh..

And he is on the payroll working with Stebanow, or near her.

Vote them all out and start over.


Murphy

Should prostitution be legalized?

Yes.
No one is ever going to stop the world's oldest profession.
Better to have prostitution legalized so it can be controlled and regulated. Prostitutes can then work in a safe environment -- much better than being picked up off the street by a total stranger and getting in his car. It's also better from a health vantage for both the prostitute and her customer as the women would get regular medical check-ups to make sure they're passing on no diseases and the ages of the women who work there can be verified so no underage girls can be exploited.

Legalizing prostitution would also free up the local cops to go after real criminals instead.

Nice Beaver!

Thanks, I just had it stuffed.

15 minutes....cheap bastard.

Maybe men had it right all along: It doesn't take long to satisfy a woman in bed.


A survey of sex therapists concluded the optimal amount of time for sexual intercourse was 3 to 13 minutes. The findings, to be published in the May issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, strike at the notion that endurance is the key to a great sex life.

I wonder if he ran into Colonel Angus?

"Why, yes, we welcome Colonel Angus in this house!"

Get a look at the wife...paying for sex with a beaver was a step up.

would be a step up!

15 minutes....cheap bastard.

According to her ad it was $100 for 15 minutes, and he paid her an extra $50, so how does that make him cheap?
