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.

And apparently he and Larry Craig were friends... What the hell is up with republicans and hypocrisy? Honestly I want to punch these bastards in the face, not just for that, but for stepping on me, their fellow gay, and their own interests to get their power. It is morally disgusting and emotionally tragic.

I saw the title and I took a pause before I clicked it, making a bet with myself whether or not he got caught with a young lad or not. I'm wasn't disappointed. If and when this is confirmed, that's just super.

Surprise news coming from Capitol Hill today. In an unexpected turn the Republican Senator from Mississippi, and current Senate Minority Whip, Trent Lott announced his retirement from the United States Senate today, effective at the end of 2007.
Though Lott has yet to offer a reason for this resignation, it has been speculated that this is due to new lobbying legislation, which forbids lawmakers (including those serving in the U.S. Senate) from any lobbying practice for a minimum of two years after leaving office. However, the law's recent passage allows legislators leaving their positions by 2007 to be grandfathered in, and not be affected by the law. Lott's retirement within calendar year 2007 thus frees him to undertake lobbying efforts almost immediately upon resignation.
Lott faced controversy back in 2003, after saying of Strom Thurmond that the nation would have avoided many problems, had he been elected President in 1948. This led to much criticism, as Thurmond had run as a segregationist candidate. Lott was eventually pressured to resign his post, and then ran for non-consecutive reelection to the Senate in 2006.
With Lott is expected to make his official announcement this afternoon, early favorites to replace him as Senate Minority Whip include Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee and Dick Lugar of Indiana.
Either he's gay or greedy? Or, more likely, both.

He figured he could make money and avoid a scandal by jumping ship now. Ironically in doing so he guaranteed his own outing. That's my prediction, anyhow.

No, if it turns out to be true, he was clearly a covert gay liberal infiltrating the noble Republican Party's ranks to sabotage our attempt to keep the gays from molesting children and animals. If it's not true, then he's clearly an upstanding member of the party of gawd and anyone who criticizes him is a terrorist.

Oh dear lord. I have this horrible, horrible mental image of Trent Lott and Larry Craig making out and having having Old Man Buttsex.

He hosted the "Council of Concerned Conservatives" in his Senate office in 1997 (they're an organisation of racist shitbags). And then in 2002 he praised Strom Thurmond
"When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over the years, either."

I didn't have that thought in my head before I looked at this thread, and now it's irrevocably implanted in my brain. Thanks a lot.

I wouldn't forgive Lott for that reason at all. Lott is still expressing racist views and it's contemptible no matter the situation. You surely realize that the audience which didn't express its outrage at such a point of view are not going to think it was done out of respect for that walking corpse.

Bloggers are having a field day with speculation that Republican Sen. Trent Lott is resigning to avoid fallout from a gay-escort scandal. Among the blogs: Big Head DC.
Escort Benjamin Nicholas denies that he ever had a "working relationship" with the anti-gay senator from Mississippi.
BnFrom Nicholas' own website:
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.

Interesting, isn't it, the acronym for the Council of Concerned Conservatives...
In the mortal Kombat-verse it would be the Kouncil of Koncerned Konservatives...and...doesn't the KKK have a habit of replacing the letter C with K in most words? Just...a few correllations there...given the participants...may be significant.
