If the Kwame case hasn’t been enough to pique your interest in the sordid affairs of Detroit’s political royalty, we bring you another that’s just at juicy. It seems a certain U.S. Senator’s husband has a taste for bargain-priced prostitutes!

Tom Athans wasn’t all about the $4500/night sessions in swank D.C. hotels like Eliot Spitzer. No, he was more into $150 15-minute quickies in the women’s room at the Residence Inn.

And just when you think he’s about to face some serious charges, we get to my favorite part of the story: “Athans was not charged with soliciting prostitution, since he agreed to testify against the woman…”

Today’s lesson: If you get caught soliciting a prostitute, sell her out A.S.A.P.!
