<link>http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/you_go_out_to_lunch_and_all_hell_breaks</link>
<description>Another one? Another Republican sex scandal? Another male escort? ANOTHER ONE? Et tu, Trent Lott? Man, you go to the gym for an hour and all hell breaks loose. The Internets are abuzz with the news that Trent Lott may have suddenly resigned from the Senate today because he was involved with Benjamin Nicholas, a gay escort and an occasional Stranger contributor. Nicholas wrote a terrific piece for us last year chastising Mike Jones for outing evangelical cocksucker Ted Haggard: Mike Jones, the male escort in question, has since embraced his 15 minutes of fame, hitting as many media outlets...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Uh oh.  Check out Mr. Nicholas' blog.  Here's what the good man has to say:</p>

<p>"And I thought having my family in for Thanksgiving was wild...</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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."</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>To all Escorts: There is NO FUCKING MORALITY in protecting your clients if they are hate filled, homophobic assholes WHO are pushing laws that discriminate against a group of people simply because they are gay, or black or anyother reason.</p>

<p>If you protect those asswipes then you are no better than they are and probably even a lower level of life.</p>

<p>These are not some confused souls who need compassion (and are willing to pay for it) they need and deserve total exposure.  Why offer them compassion when that is the one thing they deny others.</p>]]></description>

<p>Unless you blatantly lie and say you did not have contact with someone you actually did, you cannot preserve clients' confidentiality by saying who you did not have contact with since one could deduce who you did by your lack of denial on any specific instance.  The only way to both be truthful and preserve confidentiality would be to refuse to confirm OR deny association.  So either he is lying in this case or his clients should be concerned with their confidentiality.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>True, NapoleonXIV @25, nor for their taste in chapeaus, but if Trent Lott *is* a client of Benjamin's, his credibility will undoubtedly be called into question by the right-wing hate machine, and his having a background of plagiaristic excess won't help our cause very much.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Let's hope there is no secret video ("One Night In Lott" or "A Whole Lott of Ass")...can you imagine Trent getting it up the ass on video for the world to see?  .</p>

<p>This is what Viagra/Cialis has brought us.  Pre-ED drugs, these old politicians wouldn't be able to get it up, but now they can.  Let's keep erectile dysfunction drugs out of the hands/mouths of politicians.  Where's Nancy when we need here.  "This is your old limp conservative cock...this is your new rock hard conservative cock on drugs!  SCHWIIINGGG!"</p>

<p>Maybe it's time to bring back chastity belts and/or zipperless pants for politicians.<br />

<p>if Trent and all the others have a taste for pretty rent boy dick and butt - do you all think they are monogamous?</p>

<p>DC is a mean and worldly place, and sex on the sly is everywhere, power elites loaded with cash, mile wide egos</p>

<p>Word out there says there is a fair list to tumble by spring</p>

<p>Mitch is next?</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>While I would not be that surprised that another Gay Old Party member turned out to be a self-loathing closeted male, I have to agree with the Traitorous Prince of Darkness, Robert Novak, in saying this has far more to do with the 2008 imposition of a lobbying ban for 2 years on all former US Senators.</p>

<p>It's all about the money and the bribes with the Republicants.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Shortly after Benjamin Nicholas wrote his piece for the Stranger I talked to a very smart and ivy-league educated male whore about Benjamin Nicholas, and his confidentiality at all costs attitude, because I found it rather precious and off-putting.</p>

<p>My pal surmised it was just Nicholas' way of letting the rest of his clients know that he wasn't going to out them ala Mike Jones.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<i>To all Escorts: There is NO FUCKING MORALITY in protecting your clients if they are hate filled, homophobic assholes WHO are pushing laws that discriminate against a group of people simply because they are gay, or black or anyother reason.</i>
<p><br />
Maybe not, but there certainly does seem to be a lot of work in it. If your career involves being very nice to total hypocritical closet cases, then why on earth would you intentionally destroy that in addition to then making yourself completely unemployable in any other non-menial line of work?

<p>I think it's important that these people be outed, but I can't honestly say that I think it's the job of sex workers to get all of this out there. Why would I demand that someone destroy their own life in order to out some hypocrite? Do we have a quota or something? There have been tons of people exposed this year.</p>

<p>I hope it's true, of course. =) I just think it's somewhat hypocritical for people to claim the moral high ground by saying that it's the duty of people to self-destruct in the interests of what will be - in the end - a minor blip on the road to equal rights.</p></p>]]></description>

<p>No Lott is not gay - he just likes to get fucked in the ass. But, due to codes and laws and mores supported by Mr. Lott in the role of public policy expert, those sublime pleasures of good ass fucking are now about to destroy his life</p>

<p>christ almighty, is this not ultimate justice - at least real big time karma in all its simple logic</p>

<p>who would have thought whores would bring such crises in the lives of the homophobic - what a saga - escorts paid for sex leading the movement for equality - god, what a movie, what a script</p>

<p>in England in the old days these were called sex scandals - daily press in the English tabs</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>How pathetic are we? Debating the credentials of a prostitute and a blogger..yikes! Who cares about the Lott thing. I wonder what junior college grants the Associate's degree in prostitution. At least you have to have some creativity to blog,  being a prostitute just takes contorting in the right direction and maybe putting on a sassy outfit. I will give this to Nicholas--at least he works hard to legitimize the whole experience in his mind, so as to erase the self esteem and boredom issues. Sounds thoroughly credible to me...</p>]]></description>
