Are Gay Rumors The Real Reason Behind Trent Lott's Resignation?
Earlier today, Senator Trent Lott (R-MS), announced that he would resign from the Senate by the end of the year. Lott, a former college cheerleader at Ole' Miss, claims that he would like to leave on a "positive note", " after winning re-election last year to a leadership post and fostering legislation for rebuilding the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina. However, one can't help but wonder if there is some other reason behind the abrupt decision.
Later on Monday, a Washington D.C. blog, Big Head DC, made the claim that Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt had uncovered a connection between Lott and an openly gay male escort by the name of Benjamin Nicholas.
Nicholas so far hasn't admitted to sleeping with Lott, but he hasn't exactly denied it either. “Here’s my public comment, on-the-record: Sen. Lott and I have no current affiliation with one another. I’m sure he would appreciate no further scrutiny,” said Nicholas.
If Nicholas' name sounds familiar, there's good reason. He previously spoke out against Ted Haggard's boy toy, Mike Jones, for airing the preacher's dirty laundry and "breaking" an unwritten escort code of silence and betraying his client's right to privacy.
Considering his feelings on the Haggard situation, it makes sense that he would not publicly admit or reveal any information. It is also very curious that Big Head DC mentioned that Hustler was working on this story, especially considering that Larry Flynt promised us a new GOP gay sex scandal coming soon.
At this point it is all pure speculation, and if Hustler is in fact about to reveal Lott and some gay romps with a male escort, well we're sure to find out soon enough. But consider this: who, after spending millions of dollars seeking re-election, leaves in the middle of their term for any reason other than a scandal, health condition, or personal situation?

Who cares?
Bah! Who cares? Let him leave and stay gone. "Oh my god, gay senators!" is something that should be far-removed from the minds of well-adjusted Americans.
The GOP base cares. They are
The GOP base cares. They are the party of "family values" and don't practice what preach.
Yeah
Yeah; "Who cares?" was a rhetorical question meant to signify the futility of worrying over the sexuality of someone. Gay or straight, everyone's an idiot in some way-- myself included.
Time for republicans to support gay rights
So they stop looking like closeted gay hypocrites.
Lott has been one the most
Lott has been one the most vocally anti-gay Republican Senators.
"It is [a sin]....You should try to show them a way to deal with that problem, just like alcohol...or sex addiction...or kleptomaniacs." - Senate Republican Leader Trent Lott, Associated Press, June 15, 1998.
Oh really?
Wow, now I see what the fuss is.
Hypocrisy much, Mr. Lott?
Wow. Not to gloat, but I
Wow. Not to gloat, but I really hope this is true!
Heh.
First there's the guy in the airport and now this guy; the Conservatives should just leave their closets behind.

Lipstick?
Does my screen deceive me or does it look like he is wearing lipstick?
All Credibility Lost
The right wing of the Republican Party has lost any and all credibility they ever had. And to think they impeached Bill Clinton because he lied about having sex with an intern.
Remember...nobody died when Clinton lied.
They Spy On Your Phone Calls And Talk About Privacy?
I'm sure Trent Lott has not done a great deal to protect our privacy over these last few years, whether those privacy rights involved reproductive rights, who you marry or who you sleep with, is one thing. But Telecommunications firms have been illegally handing the government all of our communications, and yet, Republicans scream about privacy when someone asks questions about GOP hypocrisy. Incredible.

Trent Lott is a lesbian!
Trent Lott
That would explain the lipstick.
Queer!
“In homosexual sex you know exactly what the other person is feeling, so you are identifying with the other person completely. In heterosexual sex you have no idea what the other person is feeling. The only possible ETHIC is to do what one wants to do. How I hate those who are dedicated to producing conformity. Smash the control images. Smash the control machine.” Trent Lott needs to put on his lil' cheerleader Tu-tu and pixy dance down the capitol steps home singing "Tip-toe through the Mint-Julips with me!".
Leave him be, he has a lobbying career to look forward to!
...but I do think that the repubs should go after Lott if he paid for services and did not withhold taxes, no difference than hiring household help and not reporting payments. My how soon the hypocrites forget.
I don't care...
I'm a part of the Republican base, and I don't care if he's sleeping with farm animals. As long as he stands against Hillary Clinton, I'll take deviant over evil anyday!
