Hustler responds on Lott: interesting response, he's got the hair for it.
TRENT LOTT RESIGNS

November 26, 2007

Rent Boy on Sex With Outgoing Republican Senator Trent Lott: No Comment

by PageOneQ

"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."

This boy-next-door is male escort Benjamin Nicholas, whose blog 15 Minutes helped him make some connections in business and politics.

One of these connections is rumored to be Senator Trent Lott, Republican Minority Whip and former Senate Majority Leader, rumored to have planned a resignation by the end of this year to avoid being scandalized by Hustler publisher Larry Flynt. Flynt had, back in June, offered cash rewards for substantiated accounts of sexual liaisons with elected officials.

Source: PageOneQ

HUSTLER RESPONDS:

HUSTLER Magazine has received numerous inquiries regarding the involvement of Larry Flynt
and HUSTLER in the resignation of Trent Lott. Senator Lott has been the target of an ongoing HUSTLER investigation for some time now, due to confidential information that we have received.

1. BOOM! That resignation had NOTHING to do w/ a lobbying job!!
Haley Barbour could've hooked up Trent w/ a high-paying job immediately, doing something other than ofiicial lobbying for his firm. This sudden resignation smacks of scandal.

2. But even better, Flynt could be investigating some other repug and says nothing about it. Lobby job
is a red herring.

4. Trent Lott's porch
Kinda makes one want to re-examine Dubya's apparent excitement with the prospect of being able to once again spend time on Trent Lott's porch.



Uh-huh! Sure you do, Dubya.

"The good news is — and it's hard for some to see it now — that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house — he's lost his entire house — there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch." --President Bush, surveying damage from Hurricane Katrina

Gee, I wonder whether he actually said "rubbles" instead of "rubble." Guess I'll have to check "the Internets" and use "the Google" to make sure.

12. escort had this to say atBHDC
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.
http://bigheaddc.com/2007/11/26/trent-lott-fallout-the-gay-escort-who-knew-too-much/



I'm sure he would appreciate no further scrutiny as much as he preferred to---. Scrutinize away where repugs are concerned.

15. sounds like Benjamin is talking to Flynt, Flynt said he has gotten info on Lott and Lott has been
Edited on Tue Nov-27-07 01:19 AM by caligirl
the subject of investigation at Hustler. He didn't issue a flat denial neither has Benjamin(escort). Lott jumped out ahead with his sudden resignation, possibly to occupy the press and side track this info. Or he says he is quitting to get this story to move off the front pages quicker, then people stop thinking about him sooner. Helps the repugs to move beyond him faster, unlike Craig who is still being talked about.

21. Nicholas on his blog says no current or past affiliation....
"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." http://www.benjaminnicholas.com/2007/11/and-i-thought-having-my-family-in-for.html

24. There's a problem with his statement
If he offers confidentiality, then he can't say if he had contact with Captain Hairpiece, right? So can any denial be believed, or is it part of that discretion?

Put another way:
"I will never tell anyone if I had sex with one of my clients." = A
"I never had sex with Trent Lott." = B

If A is true, then B cannot be verified as true. The guy is a pretty fair wordsmith.

FWIW, my suspicion is that Lott is in Abramoff's sights, but I wanted to point out the contradiciton in the denial.

13. Lott is just pulling a Larry C to let the story cool and will change his mind at the end of Dec, if
this is just a sex story. If it is criminal, that is another story. I'll wait until he quits before I toast his leaving.

16. comment from bigHeadDC tonight on Flynts response,
"BigHeadDC is now claiming that Larry Flynt has confirmed the Trent Lott / hooker story.

Here's what has been posted on LarryFlynt.com under a pull-quote about the BigHeadDC story:

HUSTLER Magazine has received numerous inquiries regarding the involvement of Larry Flynt and HUSTLER in the resignation of Trent Lott. Senator Lott has been the target of an ongoing HUSTLER investigation for some time now, due to confidential information that we have received.

Hmm, that's not quite a confirmation, the way I read it. But it certainly pushes the story back into the possibly-believable column."

17. I heard rumors years ago.
That he frequents DC leather bars. No way of knowing if they were accurate but friends from DC said so, and it wasn't hard to believe.

20. Apparently Howie Klein's heard something as well, FWIW:
From his blog:

Others claim that Larry Flynt is on to Lott and that he's resigning now rather than face Larry Craig-like humiliation. I have it from a reliable DC source that "Lott would cruise the area gay bars whilst wearing a different toupée from his usual one. He apparently thought that was enough of a disguise." http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2007/11/good-riddance-to-trent-lott-r-kkk.html

31. I wonder what Trent Lott's special hairpiece looks like
He has a pretty run-of-the-mill hair style that probably looks like most toupees look. What was his other special toupee like, the one he went out to clubs with, thinking he wouldn't be recognized? Any guesses?

Are we talking a large Jimi Hendrix type of Afro? A Marie-Antoinette type of wig with hair all piled up? Or was it thick black Asian-like hair parted in the middle and reaching down to his waist?

26. Rumor is not news, it is Faux News.
Or worse! This may be on the worse side of rumor.

There are other things happening, and the media seems to have blinders on, or some sort of short-term memory block.

REDUX?? The Legend of Trent Lott and the Weblogs. Considering media and the spin of the day.
