Uh oh. Check out Mr. Nicholas' blog. Here's what the good man has to say:

"And I thought having my family in for Thanksgiving was wild...

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."

Please, dear God, let this be true. I want it to be true. I want Trent Lott to suffer and lose everything and wander the streets in the tattered remains of what were once $4,000 suits. Please, please, please.

Jesus. This is a-fucking-mazing... It's true! The Republicans ARE all closeted homosexuals!! I kept thinking maybe these incidents were flukes but this pretty much scoots it over the line.

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.

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

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.

well if he's saying he hasn't seen him, despite concrete evidence that proves otherwise, and has to qualify his denial by making a confidentiality statement, hmmmm....

it's almost too good to be true!

While I wouldn't blame Mr. Lott for doing Mr. Nicholas, I kind of have to believe Nicholas when he says that nothing happened between them. What does he have to lose by it getting out? Nothing.

@19 except maintaining the trust of current and future clients. Even if Trant gets outed, it won't be from Nichols

It looks like Benjamin Nicholas is a serial plagiarist.

If he was resigning just to become a lobbyist (which should be a crime), wouldn't he have done what they all do and resign on a Friday? Especially on a holiday weekend, when no one was watching or paying attention. Could be nothing, but seems to be a panic move.

"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."

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.

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.

Posted by chrisdiani | November 26, 2007 4:39 PM

So long as he doesn't try to parlay it into another 15 minutes of fame, the right wing attack machine's not gonna have much to work with.

After all--he's a rent boy. That really doesn't rank him high on the Ladder of Gravitas to begin with .

It's not sex, it's greed. Lott is resigning to be a lobbyist.

I'd love it if it were otherwise, but I really don't think it is. And even if it is, if the hooker ain't talking, there ain't no story.

Posted by catalina vel-duray | November 26, 2007 4:44 PM

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? .

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!"

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

one whore - two whores - three whores

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

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

Word out there says there is a fair list to tumble by spring

Mitch is next?

One thing is for sure: Nicholas's business with closet cases will not be hurt by his now highly publicized avowals of discretion. He could well end up doing the entire male half of the Right Wing. How very sad.

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.

It's all about the money and the bribes with the Republicants.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Sorry kids, there's no sex scandal here. Trent is leaving to become a lobbyist before the new rules take effect that would require him to wait 2 years after the expiration of his term. It's about the money. With Republicans, it's ALWAYS about the money.

if i may... i hate to let this one die, since i so very much want it to be true...

if it's true, who's to say this benjamin guy is the only one trent hooked up with? in all likelihood there were many, and perhaps some of the others are less adherent to the code of confidentiality. IF it's true.

and let's not forget larry flynt's "bombshell" in the works. pleaseOpleaseOplease let this be it!!

Honest to God, it's getting to the point where people are going to start associating the GOP with homosexuality. If I were gay I'd sooner go back into the closet than have anyone think I was a Republican.

I find it a bit funny that the Update gives credit to another blog's reply for pointing out Nicholas' potential plagarism when the same link was posted in the replies here about two and a half hours before it was posted there.

Kudos to the poster @ 23

Larry Flynt this evening seems to suggest there may indeed be something to this...
"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."

he looks lie a Russian gym rat - and I bet he is. need pic of him all naked, from the front and the side, then and only then can I issue a professional rating of any kind.

as for the relationship -- he calls the Senator by his first name. cause he has been fucking and sucking him. end of story.

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

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

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

in England in the old days these were called sex scandals - daily press in the English tabs

Of course, now that the rent-boy has categorically denied even knowing Trent Lott, he *cannot* be believed.

Because, you know, he lifts unattributed Dave Barry quotes for his blog. ;)

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...

Posted by Thomas | November 27, 2007 11:44 PM

All I'm saying is to please not associate ALL Republicans with some of those idiots in office that are doing crap like this...and no, it's not all about money and bribes with the all Republicans. You only hear about the ones that are like that. It's more sensational that way.
