Eventually, Democrats will blame this sudden burst of sexual activity on the Iraq war, global warming, and President Bush. Up next on the hooker parade, Senator Debbie Stabenow’s husband (and founder of liberal TalkUSA Radio, whatever that is):

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.

I’m really going to have to set a Google News Alert to +”prostitute”+”democrat.”
