Yesterday, in a spectacularly misguided display of cuteness, we engaged in … baby lamb blogging. Thank the FSM we’re back on track with another Republican hooker-fucking post:

(The Politico) When a car carrying an aide to Sen. David Vitter nearly collided with a parked police cruiser outside the Hart Senate Office Building last month, Vitter spokesman Joel DiGrado complained to our Politico colleague Anne Schroeder Mullins that it really wasn’t a story.

“The Politico must be really desperate for a scoop if they want to write a story about the near-misadventures of a senator’s staffer, especially when the member wasn’t even in the car,” DiGrado said.

Fair enough.

Unfortunately for DiGrado and Vitter, the member, as well as the member’s member, was in the car. Jump … now.

Here’s the Stabenow husband hooker - Alycia Lorraine Martin (view her ad here). Not only is Mr. Athans no Eliot Spitzer (or Bob Allen for that matter), she’s no Ashley Alexandra Dupré. New York - we’re still number one baby!

$150 Hooker for Senator’s Husband [The Smoking Gun]

Let’s see - a new scandal where a Senatorial spouse paid a hundred fifty bucks for a blowjob - how does it rate?

TROY, MICHIGAN — 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.

Did he go to a Days Inn ? Oh wait … he met his hooker at a Residence Inn “near Big Beaver and Interstate 75.”

Athans told police he stopped at the hotel to see a female friend he met online. After calling her on his cell phone, he was given a room number and met the woman at the door. Once inside he placed $150 on a counter top. The woman collected the money and performed oral sex on him, Athans told police.

Officers entered the room and found sex toys, condoms, $431 in cash and a laptop computer. They arrested the woman, identified as Alycia Lorraine Martin, and charged her with prostitution. She was released on a $100 bond and has been ordered to appear in Troy District Court for a pre-trial hearing April 22.

Analysis after the jump.

A hearty Cynics salute tonight goes out to Judges Thomas Morrow Reavley and Edward Charles Prado of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (in Texas) who Tuesday published a brilliant and prescient opinion that ought, by all rights, propel them to the Supreme Court. The gentlemen in question decided that the Texas law that criminalizes the sale or promotion of sex toys in the state of Texas is violative of the 14th Amendment right to privacy enshrined in our great Constitution.

One of America’s sexiest mayors, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (son of Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick), didn’t learn a lesson from Bill Clinton’s minor troubles caused by perjuring himself to avoid saying that Monica had been polishing his knob. Or, if he did, he promptly forgot it as soon as he took an oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth in a recent lawsuit brought against him and his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty. Both denied on the stand that they’d been bumping uglies back when they fired some police guy who then sued, but it turns out that, yeah, they were totally doing it. Kilpatrick’s wife stayed with him, but Beatty’s now divorced, and both cheaters could be brought up on perjury charges. How did everyone find out? Naughty little text messages on Detroit government pagers talking about both firing the police guy and how great the sex was. Oh, and like the other sexy philandering mayor Gavin Newsom, Kilpatrick was supposedly friends with Beatty’s husband. Why are the cute ones always such pricks? [Detroit Free Press]
