UPDATE, 5:30: “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,” Benjamin Nicholas tells Big Head DC.
ORIGINAL:
Must credit Big Head DC:
Once upon a time, there was a twentysomething boy-next-door type with reddish blond hair and a brilliantly white smile. Not one to shy away from attention, he wrote a blog called “Fifteen Minutes,” and also became a freelance writer for various publications, including The Stranger in Seattle. He’d often focus on his non-traditional lifestyle as a gay male escort — a topic that often fascinated his readers, which, in turn, helped him to garner a substantial amount of powerful business acquaintances through the years.
Based in San Antonio, he would travel all over the world to meet his clients, which included high profile celebrities, businessmen and even politicians in the United States Congress.
Sometimes within his writings he’d give advice on how other males could become successful escorts. Other times he’d post videos of himself flexing on YouTube. Once, he even scolded gay escort Mike Jones for outing Rev. Ted Haggard as one of his gay escort business participants.
“You were paid for sex, Mike,” he wrote in 2006. “The most important rule you can follow when taking people’s money in exchange for sex is that—no matter what—their lives stay their own and whatever passes between the two of you remains private. Period.”
Many of his clients greatly appreciate his professionalism. In fact, according to one 66-year-old patron who reviewed him on a gay escort site, he is “a very reliable escort who keeps you informed.”
The boy happens to be real, and his “stage name” is Benjamin Nicholas. One of the politicos Big Head DC has learned he’s alleged to have been involved with is the married Sen. Trent Lott, 66, who unexpectedly announced his retirement on Monday. Lott is well-known to have been against a plethora of gay rights issues throughout his terms in Congress. He was also good friends with Sen. Larry Craig throughout his time in Congress.
Nicholas told Big Head DC today via e-mail that he didn’t want to go on the record to talk about his dealings with Lott, because, said Nicholas, “Trent is going through his fair share of scrutiny right now and I don’t want to add to it.” However, e-mail and other records confirm that the two have met on at least two occasions.
“All I can say at this point is no comment,” Nicholas told us. “It’s the professional thing for me to do.”
In a subsequent e-mail message, Nicholas confirmed that another publication is working on a story about a “possible relationship” between Lott and himself, but Nicholas also “politely declined” an interview for that story.
“As I said before, Lott has quite a bit on his plate right now and I don’t really want to add fuel to the embers,” Nicholas told Big Head DC.
Sen. Lott and I have no current affiliation with one another
Oh shit!
GOP is truly the Gay Old Party indeed!!!
YES!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHHAHAHHA
The whole sordid story is like a big hug from Jesus.
and Hillary and Huma get no media scrutiny at all - Hillary Hippocrate!
http://www.drudgereport.com/flashhh.htm
Obviously, Ron, since you can’t spell it, you haven’t checked out the definition of “hypocrite.” It would not be hypocritical for Hillary to have a lesbian affair because she hasn’t taken a highly public stand against either affairs or homosexuals. Trent Lott, however, has done just that, and also belongs to the party that holds the patent on morality. That’s why this rumor is so juicy! Oh my God … I just defended Hillary.
“no current affiliation with one another”
Ha! Does he realize that any gay escort affiliation is damning for sitting senator?

Typical GOP Senator schedule:
Monday: Squash Child Healthcare
Tuesday: Send an email to that rent boy
Wednesday: Smear a Democrat
Thursday: Lie to some people
Friday: Reserve hotel room
Saturday: F*#k a rent boy
Sunday: Praise Jesus
So, Benjamin is saying that he’s had no contact with our good (sic) Senator.http://www.benjaminnicholas.com/blogger.html All the blogosphere’s titillation about Lott’s gayness makes my stomach hurt. I mean, really, I get that he’s a hypocrite, but come on, let’s prove he lied about weapons in the Middle East for gods’ sake. Some of our best gay reps were outed once. It feels like homophobia, all this glee over the idea he (and recent others) may or may not have had sex with a man!

I hope Mockette gets a raise for pulling this scoop together!
BHDC’s scoops are always completely accurate and true and anyone who doesn’t think so is just jealous that they didn’t find the scoop first.
Charles, if you are going to make baseless accusations against the BEST gossip blog in DC, can you please do us the courtesy of providing links? Thanks!
What’s weird about the timing is that Lott could also be leaving because of new ethics rules that go into effect next year. The time before he could become a lobbyist would double to two years. This way he can become a lobbyist a year earlier and stands to gain a lot of money. I’ll be interested to hear how this develops.
Ha, ha. No current affiliation. Funny how he says he wants to protect his clients but is obviously keeping his options open.
Is there a Republican out there who hasn’t been in a gay sex scandal?
For the sake of argument, lets say this allegations are true. So what? They guy already resigned? If these allegations are true, why not use them when they could have caused damage?
Smells like bullshit to me.
The gay hater is still in office, buddy.
The kid could lose his entire business, if he doesn’t deny this.
Hmmmm, it’s kinda weird that Trent just up and quit like that, out of the blue.
I am from miss. i believe every word of it. about time some one brought him down a few pegs.
FYI,
Trent’s son - the one who got arrested a few ago for causing a scene on an airplane over his lap dog…yes, he’s married…hit on a couple for a threesome and they are gay.
[…] As we pointed out a couple of posts down, Trent is quitting at the end of the year. While many have speculated on exactly why he’s wuitting, none know for sure. Thanks to Reconstitution friend The Truffle, we’ve learned yet another reason why Lott may be cutting his Senatorial career short. While looking around tonight to see what the word is on Lott’s resignation here’s what’s out there. When I heard of his resignation it really surprised me, because after being kicked out of the top Republican leadership 4 years ago, he REALLY fought to get back to the top. I couldn’t imagine he would just give that up for no good reason. Maybe THIS is the good reason. […]
So he’s calling BHDC a liar on his blog. Who is telling the truth?

From Benjamin Nicholas’s website…
“It looks like a Washington DC-based blog called BigHeadDC is making claim that there was (or, is) a working relationship between myself and Senator Trent Lott. There are falsely pieced-together quotes that serve no purpose other than to sensationalize a completely fabricated scoop.
I will continue to offer a great sense of confidentiality to the people I see. I have not, nor have I ever seen or had contact with Senator Trent Lott. It’s as simple as that. It never happened.”
[…] There is a gay sex rumor floating around. But don’t believe it quite yet. My bullshit detector is sounding the alarm, we’ll see if this materializes or not. […]

I remember a President once said, “I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS with THAT WOMAN, Miss Lowenski.”
I just read on http://www.benjaminnicholas.com/blogger.html “I have not, nor have I ever seen or had contact with Senator Trent Lott. It’s as simple as that. It never happened.”
Ah the innocence of youth. Benjamin should have simply said nothing. Appears he can’t stand not being in the spotlight. Get ready young man … your 15 minutes is about to begin.
Hmm.. vastly different than the quote at the top of this article.
Me thinks, thou dost protest too much.
Poor Ben, I always told him his mouth was a great asset, if he’d only put it to the proper use. He’s given two wildly different accounts now, and it’s easy to see why: he doesn’t want to blow his client base, nor does he want Trent, as he calls him, hunting him down.
[…] Update 2: Obvious parody blog, Big Head DC, claims that Trent Lott was seeing a homo escort. It’s amazing what people will do for attention these days. Trent Lott is as straight as they come. […]
This is a parody blog right? It seems pretty obvious that this is total nonsense.
[…] Is Trent Lott the user of gay prostitutes? Some say the source ain’t right. Others say the mainstream media are working on a similar story. Larry Flynt and his team of investigators are teases. The “companion” Benjamin Nicholas says no. I say, “Calling yourself a companion doesn’t make your cock-sucking any more special.” […]
[…] Wide stance? Apparently there’s a good reason why he and Larry Craig are looking so longingly at those microphones. (Keep trying; site’s having trouble handling all the traffic.) The male escort named in the post is denying the whole thing here and here - just keep in mind he’s gone on the record saying he would never out a client, so who knows? […]
If you had done the smallest amount of research, you would have found that your source is a serial liar and plagiarist. Or, maybe, you did and chose not to report on his lack of veracity?
How odd. The link in my post disappeared.

[…] Lefty blogs are all over the story involving a gay escort who it was reported had a sexual relationship with Trent Lott and that this was the real reason he was resigning. […]
It looks like this guy tried to skirt the questions and was vague on purpose to either attract attention or play innocent. Now he is either backtracking because someone like Lott contacted him to tell him to shutup or he is trying to save his escort reputation.
[…] “Once upon a time,” writes Big Head DC, “there was a twentysomething boy-next-door type with reddish blond hair and a brillantly white smile.” […]
Well someone isn’t telling the truth! Is it Ben or BHDC??? Hmmmm…. I’ll believe who ever produces copies of the email exchange FIRST to prove the other wrong! Pony up, boys, and post those emails!
I have to say that this guy’s professional attitude is really refreshing.
I agree..it is just like a big hug from Jesus!

Our government is corrupt and rotten!!!
My husband was recently fired from his job working for the US Senate for viewing porn during work hours on his government issued computer. He was a “support staff” employee. He was the second in the past year to be fired for this type of behavior.
While devastating personally for our family and nearly losing everything because of his poor judgment and stupidity, I can now sort of laugh at the irony of the whole thing which is that he worked for a bunch of perverts who fired him for being a pervert.
Also, he signed a contract saying that he left for personal reasons, after a bit of negotiation, and they were supposed to give favorable job references to his prospective future employers as part of this contract, based on his work (which he received awards for - from the “big guys”
and not mention the being fired thing.
Half of his department suffered from various addictions and missed much work and covered for each other. It’s a big joke really what goverment employees get away with. There is no drug testing at the Senate, much alcoholism and some huge fat asses who could use a few months in an eating disorder clinic.
He’s never supposed to admit that he was fired and why and if someone like me talks about it, he’s supposed to deny it. Like they can control what family members say. Who cares. He was just a small person there, but it’s indicative of what goes on in that whole place. A bunch of perverts, alcoholics and fat asses who do nothing all day but talk and jerk off under their desks.
Oh, and after having him sign that contract, they said that they were uncomfortable giving him a reference of any kind. I guess they are so ashamed of his behavior that he’s supposed to deny.
Oh God, the horror of the US Senate having a former employee who got caught looking at porn on the internet by someone who wanted his job so felt compelled to report him. How shameful and embarassing.
The secret to a successful career working for the US government is “don’t ask, don’t tell, and don’t get caught” and expect to be fired, not because of what you do wrong, but because you don’t hide it as well as the person in the office next to you.
What’s shameful is that they’re all a bunch of frauds who have a lot to hide.
My point? They try to cover up even the smallest things so imagine the lengths they go to to cover up the big stuff.
Oh let it be true!
“What’s shameful is that they’re all a bunch of frauds who have a lot to hide.”
Slight correction - “…who have a ‘Lott’ to hide.”
Check out the allegations made by Benjamin Nicholas and vote on whether Senator Lott is innocent or guilty of soliciting gay sex:

Trent used to have this red-headed gay guy (bear dude) who was his assistant. The guy was openly gay but not a twinky rent boy. Not sure if his employment was an accident or not now that I see this story.
[…] Trent Lott fallout: The gay escort who knew too much […]
[…] While the speculation started almost immediately in the blogoshpere, that Flynt had Lott’s number in some DC male escort service imbroglio rumoured at Big Head DC, the real truth behind the lie is that there has been a change in the ethics rules for outgoing members of Congress. Currently, those leaving office have to survive one entire year on their pensions, which is 80% of $175,000, plus cost of living expenses. As of the new year 2008, the ethics rule will require outgoing members of Congress to restrain from accepting lobbying positions for two full years. If Trent Lott resigns before the end of 2007, he will be bound to the old one year rule before he can go on to a lucrative career at a Washington lobbying firm for millions of dollars per year in compensation. […]
[…] Could there be another gay Republican scandal? I don’t know, but these internet rumors are kind of suspicious. Is there something to it? Only time would tell. However, you do have to respect an escort who keeps his clientele private. Such professionalism! […]
[…] Big Head DC claims it’s because he has been outed by a gay prostitute named Benjamin Nicholas. Benjamin Nicholas has denied the rumor. […]
[…] I’m not sure why Senator Lott has stepped down. He is clearly someone that progressives need to keep an eye on. Trent Lott is still a mover and a shaker. He has been in Congress a long time. He loves power. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is up to something in his home state of Mississippi. (psst. there is an ugly rumor that Lott’s gay affair may be the breaking story. I have no idea if this is true. All I know is there is a reason that he left suddenly.)
