Well, if it isn't news, it's at least Entertainment.
Hmm, did he have any comments about the plagerism accusations? He can deny having anything to do with Lott but those accusations hit a lot closer to any credibility he has.
"At the moment I’m inclined to believe Nicholas when he denies any involvement with Lott..."
I've never met Benjamin Nicholas in person. And he's contributed two pieces to the Stranger -- I think it's safe to say that contributing two pieces to the paper does not make someone my "friend."
Please.
He's easier on the eyes (and ears) than Chris Crocker.
What #2 said.
C'mon, Dan. Don't sugarcoat this.
"At the moment I’m inclined to believe Nicholas when he denies any involvement with Lott..."
Because seriously who would f**k Trent Lott for any amount of cash? Seriously, I wouldn't f**k that guy with a borrowed dick.
It's very clear to the casual observer that hotair is being produced. Not all right wing hate-mongers buy the services of fe/male escorts. They're sleazy scum with out the sexual trappings.
I brought up the plagiarism charge and mentioned that it damages Nicholas' credibility.
And I brought up the point that he's a hooker--who in their right mind expects credibility to begin with?
You're ahead of the game if you get your rocks off and then get out of the room without having your wallet stolen and finding yourself blackmailed for a thousand bucks.
Nicholas has put himself into a bit of a box: He makes a big deal about granting his clients complete confidentiality, and then categorically denies a relationship with Lott - fostering the inevitable conclusion that, duh, he's just granting Lott the complete confidentiality he affords every client. In fact, if you're inclined to think this is made-up, that alone could be a reason that BigHeadDC chose Nicholas -- because he knew Nicholas' "policy" would make any denial ring false.
That said, I have a gut feeling this is true.
This whole thing is awesome. Someone pass the bread.
i don't know... as badly as i want to, i'm not believing this story. however, ambiguous comments from nicholas like "all i can say at this point..." and "it's the professional thing to do" sound kind of non-commital to me. but perhaps he's been enjoying the spotlight a little more than he's letting on, and just toying with the media to milk it for all it's worth.
well hopefully larry flynt will spill whatever beans he's sitting on so we [and by 'we' i mean 'i'] can stop obsessing over this.
It's funny because none of it *needs* to be true.
Where the penultimate lying whore -and self-appointed faux-journalist- Matt Sanchez to comment? This is right up his, er, alley.
I hate to agree with Dan on this (throwing up in my mouth right now) but until there is a smoking gun, video of the escort with Lott we really have nothing at all.
BTW, I stand by my rant yesterday that if Nicholas (or any escort)IS protecting a right wing asswipe like Lott you can thank them for taking our liberties away as well. They are nearly as bad as a Jewish Nazi.
I'm inclined to believe this scandal is true for quite a few reasons.
1. Escorts have a very limited shelf life.
2. Larry Flynt offered 1 MILLION dollars for tips that he could verify.
3. If Flynt is involved and there is a payment coming to Nicholas, then Nicholas probably cannot admit to anything until Flynt publishes his expose'.
I'm guessing Nicholas doesn't want to blow his retirement plan.
I want so hard for this story to be real, but in the absence of proof I'll settle for lots of publicity and speculation.
1. Nicholas is smokin hot.
2. This whole speculation is gobs of fun, even if it turns out to be total bullshit.
3. Because of Nicholas' widely publicized "complete confidentiality" policy, he is the perfect choice if BigHeadDC is making it up. Any denial Nicholas makes will sound fake. Anything he says ends up sounding more like a confirmation than a denial. A denial from any other more anonymous hooker would sound more believable.
4. Did I mention that Nicholas is smokin hot?
Much hotter than Stephen Ambrose, to be sure!
Part of me wonders if Nicholas didn't drum this up himself just for publicity. If he's willing to steal other people's words and claim them as his own, I really wouldn't put such a thing past him.
I don't see the benefit, Jo Ellen. Rich, closeted men don't want to be seen with notorious and/or indiscrete male escorts. Being all over the blogs isn't going to help Nicholas professionally.
....but it might get him a gig on "Surreal Life" or "Celebrity Whore-Camp" or some such program of similar ilk.
Well I guess my theory is more that he wants to move away from escorting and further into the celebrity blogger realm? I just glanced over a few of his blog posts and a lot of what I saw was blind item gossip that had nothing to do with his escort work or with his own personal thoughts or feelings. This post for example http://www.benjaminnicholas.com/journal/2007_08_20_archives.html (scroll down and you’ll see a large ‘Gossip’ header). I mean, if he was really that interested in being discrete, why would he have any scandal stuff on his site? Even the title of his blog ’15 Minutes More,’ which I see as meaning he wants to prolong his 15 minutes of fame, I read as indicating he desires some level of notoriety. Yes I know he criticised Mike Jones for this but perhaps Nicholas has mixed motives or a change of heart. Well of course this is all just my guesswork, who knows?
Well, Keith Olbermann thinks it's probably because the Senate is about to pass laws restricting lobbyists, namely that former representatives can't become lobbyists until two years after their term has ended, and Trent Lott wants to be a lobbyist. I dunno if they earn more money than the average senator, but to me, it sounds like the more likely explanation. It sucks that Trent Lott wasn't caught with a guy, because that would have been an awesome end for him. But I guess I should wait and see what pans out.
I'm not interested in any more Republican sex scandals per se. If you don't know by now that the Republicans are the party of fear-mongering, hypocrisy, and power-hunger, you're not paying very close attention.
It seems these days that to be a card-carrying Republican you have to be a hypocrit. It's sad. Each scandal makes America look like the group of dimwits we really are. It's even more humiliating than having our "president" foul up the English language while he has his mouth full of baloney and cheese (while talking to a head of state).
Nah! I doubt it. This would have come out long ago...but I wouldn't mind if it were true.
I sure hope there is a blue dress involved.
What size do you think Trent wears?
The fact that this escort calls him "Trent" and not "Lott" or "that Nazi scumcrawling racist son of a bitch" means he's in nice and cozy with the old smear.
I hope it is true because the Republican party in mississippi has a history of electing gay guys to congress. Remember Jon Hinson, a representative caught in a capitol hill restroom crusing with his pants down.
As a Democrat i say through all of them out. All
of them are hypocrits. Built there careers on race baiting and reaction to Lyndon Johnson's Great Society/Civil Rights and Voting Rights Act.
Lying cums second nature to them.
