Trent Lott to retire from Senate
MSNBC had the scoop this morning:
NBC News has learned that Trent Lott's in the midst of informing close allies that he plans to resign his senate seat before the end of the year. It's possible a formal announcement of his plans could take place as early as today.
Josh Kraushaar has more, including speculation about potential candidates for Lott's Mississippi seat.
UPDATED: (Nicole) PERRspectives looks at some possible new careers for Lott.
That a big hit for the republicans in the Senate. Trent Lott was a Bush lackey all the way to the end.
Adios cocksucka
Trent...you'll always have a seat at the table of your local KKK rally....all 8 of you unbelievably worthless PsOS...
Na,na... na, na, na, na... hey, hey, hey... goodbye
Another rat off the ship. Trent, how about going to the back of the line for K Street jobs... you're only the latest rat to decide to go for the $ before its too late.
Criminal Lott!
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
CRIMINAL LOTT!
Whatever will he do now that he won't be able to commit treason against the United States from the floor of Congress every day?
What will he do not being able to tread on our Constitution on the floor of Congress every day?
?
Geez, these guys are jumping ship in a big way. How many GOPers is that now that have either left congress or are leaving congress? Anybody got a tally? The Dems could end up winning back seats from attrition more than anything.
he took a wide stance and decided too look for work else where........eh.
#1 - a bush lackie till the end?
lets hope this is the end... for ALL republican obstructionists/traitors.
To #11 - I meant to the end of Lott's career in the senate. But it does make you wonder why these cronies of Bush are bailing so fast.
Hip Hip Horaay! Hip Hip Horaay!
Yippeeee!
Wahooo!
:) :) :) :) :) :)
Bye Bye and good riddance!
You're not gone already?
History will remember you for being the Senate Majority Leader when a President was impeached for receiving a blow job in the oval office.......
...........what a legacy Senator.................
Personally, I'd rather see Lott and his ilk perp-walked out of Congress instead of letting 'em resign and go free. But so long as they're gone, I guess. Unfortunately, there's still the long and daunting task of rebuilding the nation they're leaving in smoldering ruins.
Did anyone catch Erin Burnett on Joe Scarborough's show this AM. She referred to French P.M. as Rudy's man-crush, and said that noone could blame him for having a man-crush when looking at Sarcozy (sp?). Then she said that she was talking about the man on the right, not the monkey in the middle.
When Scarborough feigned ignorance as to who she was referring, she was that not talkiing about German P.M. Angela Merkle, who was on the left. Willie Geis (sp?) then exclaimed that she must be talking about "my president" or words to that effect.
Man, oh man. Who would have guessed she (working for CNBC) is opposed to the Chimp!!!
I heard on the news that he couldn't raise enough ...something to do with lobbiest money...in short...the lobbiest have decided not to back this losing horse...and he knows it.I don't see this clown giving up easily.....unless he knows there is no way for him to win,plus he see's the writing on the wall.The Repug party is going to take a beating in the next election....so he's getting out ...to avoid the shame.
did a cold wind from Alaska help Trent on his way?
One less absolute Jim Crow racist cocksucker leading this nation. Good riddance and go to hell!
rmwlaw @ 16:
yeah...I caught that too...not sure what to make of it......but that's the impression I got....monkey/chimp?
Why are we celebrating? It's not as if we're going to get a Democrat elected in Mississippi in 2009.
He must have made enough blood money to settle with the rest of his criminal cocksuckers in Alaska (except Gravel).
jimijazz @ 1:
Not exactly. Things haven't been quite as rosy ever since Lott criticized Bush's handling of Katrina.
Left&Left @ 19:
Yep. That pretty much sums it up!
Guess bush must've rebuilt his mansion in N'Orleans.
True. But as usual with these republicans he tried to to portray a new image. But politics were the same as usual for the republicans -thats why they gave him the #2 spot. It obviously failed.
"When you got too much, that's a lot..."
Chico Marx
Isn't he the Dr who likes to kill cats. Who would ever believe Missippians are so dumb. I hope to God Mitch McConnell is next.
Does this mean they are all just giving up and heading home...the Republican Revolution was a great party and now it's over. Don't most of these politicians keep on going like Strom Thurmond. If not, does this mean that they know they've milked this ride for everything it was worth and are now heading home to enjoy the spoils of their efforts over the past decade?

It will be interesting when someone digs up the real reason, not that trotts a lot will ever admit it. I hope it is a skeleton in the closet. If it is an illness, then I'll feel sorry for him, much as I'm glad to see him go away.
Hmm, a position on the board of directors of the KKK must have opened up.
turns out Lott has to wait a year before he starts lobbying.He's going where the real money is...as a Lobbiest....go figure.
Whatever happened to Larry Flynt and his campaign to find those with hypocritical indiscretions? Could some of the critters be making deals to keep their secrets, secret?
Could this be because some gop presidential candidate has asked him to run as his veep if he should get the nomination.
A good old southern boy running with a previous New York mayor, perhaps. Jeez, I hope not, but seems stranger things have happened.
He'll become a lobbyist...... right in time for the next Dem Prez.....there thinking way ahead now,they know there is nothing they can do to win this next election...so their already going to work to make things difficult for the next Prez
pissed off patricia @ 34:
Might help Rudy's "Southern strategy" -- but that's about it. Lott is a liability everywhere else.
Lott still needs to be prosecuted for his complicity in the whole Iraq thing, backing Bush up on EVERYTHING! The man's a nasty racist little piece of filth, an embarrassment to all of us here in the US. When are they going to outlaw lobbying, by the way?
ralph @ 30:
Did you watch the link to the Now show about Alaskan Oil Scandals? Saw some familiar faces in the CBC photos!
Dhalgren @ 21:
Exactly! I was born and raised in that hellhole and they will only vote in someone equal to or worse than Lott.
Dhalgren @ 21:
I would rather have a rookie criminal in Congress than a seasoned professional.
Trent, we love your work--you've been a real team player and a significant contributor to the success we've enjoyed in bringing the project to completion.
We have some objectives in mind over the next twelve to eighteen months for which we'd appreciate your continued enthusiasm and commitment.
Options: your support and cooperation; a dignified, secure, and complete retirement, or something else.
Enjoy your retirement, then. Wishing you the best.
pissed off patricia @ 34:
Giuliani-Thompson 08. You heard it from me.
Joementum @ 36:
Thank you for that comment Joementum, I was scaring myself. :)
Vanna @ 42:
I also heard that from the Morning Joe show this morning. It might have been Chris Matthews who said it. Jesus, would that be frightening or what, if they actually won?
Another rat jumps ship. Good riddance.
From TP: "UPDATE IV: “While the exact reason Lott is stepping down before he finishes his term is unknown, the general speculation is that a quick departure immunizes Lott against tougher restrictions in a new lobbying law that takes effect at the end of the year. That law would require Senators to wait two-years before entering the lucrative world of lobbying Congress.”"
with the Calif Counts antics it's obvious they're going to pull some kind of BS...with the GOP's track record...there is no way that they should win this election....unless the steal it....again.
Regarding comment #46, Leave it to a repub not to let any opportunity for more money pass them by. I would think the people who voted for him would be pissed that he's walking away from them for his own benefit in the billfold.
But the real question is WHY? Why so many Repugs jumping ship? Do they know something we don't? Do they know Bush is a lunatic and is about to push the button? Some people suggest that it's because they think they'll get their asses handed to them in 2008 so they're getting out while they can. But the problem with that theory is that there is obviously no shortage of morons to vote for these people so why are so many of them leaving?
WHY?
fkfk @ 49:
I don't know but I do know that no repub ever does anything that is good for the country as a whole. Any time one of them does something like this, I never feel good about it until the whole story is told and usually I don't feel any better then
fkfk @ 49:
My thoughts exactly. Are they merely rats deserting a sinking ship or is there something much more frightening that they know is coming in the next year? How many of them have land in Paraguay near the new bush compound?
This cracker is now toast.
-GSD
Frist is the cat-doc.
I don't buy the K-street explanation as sufficient, although it might be a contributing factor. I think that either the investigation into the shenanigans in Alaska or the Larry Flynt story have something to do with precipitating his departure. Still, David Vitter appears to be weathering the storm, so there must be something more than that going on?
the poster at 46 is probably right about Lott wanting to cash in before stricter lobbying laws kick in.
Me, I'm betting that Lott's on the DC Madam's list and is another candidate for the Brotherhood of the Disappearing Pants
he needs to fill up the old coffers..
and go home and shine his porch monkeys
Mississippi doesn't deserve much better than Lott. Too bad the South has its head up its ass. (And I'm a Southerner.) But, yeah, it's great to be rid of another Christian racist.
Clytemnestra @ 18:
Good question...
Why now, why so sudden? He could have comfortably served out his six year term, but instead he's suddenly resigning. Why?
I was watching NOW on PBS about the Alaska/Oil scandal, and if the FBI and Justice Department follow through, then it's totally logical that big heads in Washington will roll. Maybe he's about to be indicted? I have a hard time thinking that this administrations Justice Department would go after the oil lobby and itself, but one can always dream.
We need to pick up this senate seat. The searsucker suited fascist's legacy has left MS in despair
I'm sure he's doing it so people will forget about him once the Democrats find testicles next year.
His term isn't up until 2013, so why now? It appears that if he waits, he will have to wait 2 years to begin cashing in on K Street, so is that it?
Lott is in a barbershop quartet with Larry Craig. Hmmmm....are there pictures?
Judging by his financial disclosure, he has money, but not as much as most other Republican Senators. Could it just be financial? Or that he will have so little power in the next Congress?
Could it be that the Mississippi State House is a little too small for someone with the ego of Haley Barbour? Could Barbour appoint himself? Is he pushing Trent out?
Questions, questions...
it's just an announcement, like rumsfeld leaving the pentagon. until it becomes reality, I will not hold my breath. as to what secrets that racist dickhead may be hiding, he apparently hates enough of this country to keep the secret.
I think he's resigning to accept a commission as a general in the forthcoming Blackwater coup to finalize the confederate takeover.
If bush suspends the election, will this country actually split? many military facilities in the north have been eliminated or relocated, so the strategy may yet play itself out. who knows, we might become the confederate states of america
to me, the big question is: how many dems might be in on the deal, like feinstein, shumer, emmanuel, pelosi, BenNelson(neb.), etc.?
pissed off patricia @ 48:
and he gets free(our tax money pays) healthcare for life.
Unfortunately, even with Lott gone and many others who have announced retirement or have been forced out for scandal, there are still plenty of republican nutjobs waiting to take their place and continue their destruction of liberty.
I really think he's trying to distance himself from a very corrupt administration before he's "thrown under the bus".
"Lie down with dogs - get up with fleas".
Could he be one of the "Johns" on Larry Flint's list of 30 solid leads? I sure hope so.
Larryflint.com
oops, that is LarryFlynt.com
AF_Comm_Guy @ 9:
Lott makes 6. Something's definitely afoot. He was just elected in 06 to a new term. Resigning after a year along with the other scum makes my tinfoil hat start to vibrate. What are these creeps trying to avoid by getting out of the public eye just before the upcoming national elections?
MarkC @ 53:
I seem to remember Lott debating whether to run for his current term. That said, this is also the guy we saw groveling on BET (claiming to be an affirmative action proponent!) in order to keep his leadership post.
I'd put my money on an impending scandal.
Or perhaps it's merely personal acknowledgment of how much they've fluxored the country and they don't want to be around to take the blame after the American people finally wake up. IF they do, that is. yeah, that's gotta be it. They see the upcoming financial and societal collapse (since they've personally had a hand in engineering it) and want to grab their assets and run like a rabbit to a safe haven. Paraguay. anyone?
You know, I'm beginning to think the conservative base has no flipping idea what they want. Now, not even Trent Lott is conservative enough for them. The righty blogs are flaming him for everything from his stance on illegal immigration to his barbershop quartet side gig. And further, some wingers are putting up posts calling for other "potentially" gay republican politicos (you know the ones...) to all quit. They hate everyone.
What sad, sad shape the republican party is in (yay). With a base full on loonballs, what can one realistically expect?
Big Oil and the late Strom Thurmond is losing one of their best friends. I remember when Lott from the senate floor pointed to a picture of one of those high gas milage George Jetson looking cartoonish cars saying the wacko environmentalists wanted every American to be forced to drive on of those. You could practically see the Gulf Coast Big Oil strings moving Lott's arms and mouth.
Good riddance to that regressive pro-segregationist corrupt low life SOB. Major good news for our side.
Dude @ 33:
Yes sirree Dude.
What did ever happen to Mr Flynt's accusations? It's a one out of 49 if you pick randomly.
Could it be that the barbershop quartet was some kind of conspiracy? A devious plot to take over the country and make us all sing harmoniously?
Aren't they all gone now?
Indigowatcher @ 37:
not untill kucinich is elected!
Be happy to see this smug southern racist crook gone. Of course, he will be cashing in big time on his Washington connections. We need term limits - ie. 1 term only for Senators.
Thank you, Jeee-sus!
Hmm ... Lott is 66 now. His term ends in 2012, when he would be 72. Under current law, he could start lobbying at age 73 but under the new one, he would have to wait until he was 74. If he really ever intended to start lobbying at age 73, he could have resigned as late as 2011.
All that tells me he never intended to serve his full term, despite what he may have told voters. Trent Lott, it now becomes clear, serves a constituency of one -- Trent Lott. The voters of Mississippi be damned. If we have a "Crooks and Liars" Hall of Fame, I nominate Trent Lott for it.
And all this time I was hoping to see Lott and George W. Bush sitting on the porch of Lott's vacation home. In SCUBA gear, of course.
Senator Empty Lott or "The Doo," must have got his porched finished, and wants to beat Bush in having the first swing ride!
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 51:
perhaps they know the cheny plan for takeing over the government permanently and doing away with trents job and the rest of congress and the senate too, do you really think theyve gone to all this work for nothing, its a long range plan to get rid of democracy for good, republicans dont do anything thats good for democracy, its time to fill up thoes prison camps haliburton built, better check to see if they have enough oven space for the decenters, food will not be wasted on people who cant be brain washed!
I wish the Deep South states would do us all a big favor and secede again and form another Confederacy. The rest of us should be grateful to see them go. They could have GeeDubya as president, Trent Lott as VP and the Rev. Sun Myung Moon or Pat Robertson as Minister of Religion. Since these states are so pro-business and anti-labor they could create a true corporate paradise in which workers would be required to work 12 hour days with no vacation or sick pay. Unions would be illegal. All health and safety and environmental regs would be repealed. The wealthiest citizens would be exempt from all income taxes. The first day of huntin' season would be a national holiday along with Jeff Davis Day, Strom Thurmond Day, Jesse Helms Day, etc. That's the kind of society these red staters seem to prefer. If not, why do they keep electing people like Trent Lott?
Let these states secede and good riddance to them. Without them, maybe the remaining states wll be able to solve some of the pressing problems we face such as global warming, national heath care, energy efficiency, etc.
My heartfelt apologies to all of you progressive thinking people in the new Confederacy. I do not mean to offend you.
He'll be vacationing on Bush's little retreat in Uruguay, Paraguay, or one of the gays.
Isnt it strange that right after Lott's picture with AK Sen. Stevens hits the news media and blogs involving the Corrupt Bastards Club, he decides to resign. Me thinks he had his finger in the pie also.
Could it be he knows the ax will fall soon on him? ;)
jimijazz @ 12:
Answer why: about to be outed as a closet homosexual.
pissed off patricia @ 50:
That's what I'm worried about. I'd like to think that the Repug's feel betrayed by Bush and are trying to hand the Dems a majority but I know that is not the case. There is some underlying reason for this exodus. Or it could be that they know that Hillary is going to win and the Dems are going to dish out some payback in the form of major oversight and investigations. That's my hope at least.
Retiring was what Trent Lott was best qualified to be doing all these years...
Retreading car tires.
Like W, I'll miss him a lot. I mean "a lott" ;)
c. atrox @ 56:
Maybe I'm generalising but I think that most of the problems with the country are because of the South and my theory is that it all goes back to the Civil War which is a wound that still hasn't healed. The GOP, the GRAND-OLD-PARTY, is based out of the south and at it's heart is cowboy bullshit, oil drilling, Christian fundamentalisim, racisim and plantation economic's. We can see all of these thing's in the Bush administration.
The Chimp's piss poor John Wayne swagger.
The administration working hand in hand with OPEC to start illegal wars to secure oil fields and to destabalise the Middle East so they can jack up prices.
The Bush administration staffing important positions, within various departments, with under qualified lackey's from Pat Robertsons school who are too dumb to know when they are breaking the LAW < Monica Goodling.
The fact that the GOP frontrunners showed their racism by not attending debates hosted by the African American community.
The way they have decimated the middle class by sending jobs oversea's to third world countries run by fascist dictatorships < China
Need I go on?
the sooner he's outta there, the better
In other news, Trent Lott's hairpiece plans to run for one more term.
Rumor has it Larry Flynt dug up some dirt on ole' Lott, which is the real reason for his resignation. Can't wait to see what kind of depravity goes with that helmet hairstyle.
I suspect they're just getting the Old Guard crooks to retire so they can make the way clear to put new lipstick on an old pig.
Was he caught giving blowjobs at truckstops?
AbbeyHoffmansGhost @ 80:
Yeah, If memory serves me correctly, it was Paraguay that was the preferred destination of all those Nazi war criminals after WWII. I heard Cheney was building a villa there. (And another one in Dubai/Halliburton Inc. just to cover his fat ass.)
Dear Trent,
Go to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
Sincerely,
America
good riddance shithead.
Maybe he's going to replace Coach Orgeron at Ole Miss, who got canned this past weekend after losing to Mississippi State. 3-9 for the season, 0-8 in the SEC. I don't think Trent has coached before, but he couldn't do any worse. And he IS an Ole Miss alum (he was a cheerleader, natch).
Maybe the WarPigs stacked DOJ is rebelling and are getting to ready to start issuing subpoenas? Isn't Paraguay where the Nazis supposedly cloned Hitler in that old Gregory Peck flick? After all, isn't Lott an M.D? LOL, we'll have little Cheney clones running around. Oh yeah, Prescott Bush was real tight with the Nazis.
SEEMS him and his buddies are under investigation for taking bribes from various corporations for legislation in return. He needs to go to jail and be properly greeted by BIGBOY
Left&Left @ 19:
jim crow is definately not happy about the potential of losing an ally
RumorMonkey @ 88:
i think this rumor is the best!
fkfk @ 86:
your evidence is spot one, but blaming the south for the war and state of affairs in the country today is a bit much.
its true that these biased thots took root and were spurred on in the southern states.
and its also true that reconciliation has been hard to come by.
and its true that many ills still persist in the south today.
and its true that the brain trust for BushCo is largely southern white males.
and its true that the general distrust of the federal gub'ment is rooted in basic tenets of southern repub logic.
and its true that the south gnerally lost said war.
and its true that many from this school of thot have a defeatist, one man against the world, attitude.
..but with all of that... to blame them for the war and the state of things in 'merica today...
is a bit much
Time to hang up the old hood,sheets and dragon banner Aw well lynching black people and burning crosses isn't nearly as satisfying as it used to be. May you roast in hell Lott.
CoIntelPRo @ 61:
woo weee! conspiracy theorizing at its best!!
you gotta love it!!
to be a fly on the walls or a circuit in the phones of repub leaders in wash-ing-ton right now!!!
Heckuva job, Trent! (and good riddance!)
Did he just find out he's gay?
Alright, I know I'm late to the table with this, but didn't some news channel just air a clip about Stevens up in Alaska and how tight Lott and Hastert were with "Uncle Ted"? I'll be going back over the comments to see if I'm out alone on this one, but doesn't anyone else think there might be a small chance that the probe that seems to be making life hell for Alaska's A#1 Senator could be posing some inconveniences back here in the lower 48?
Another GOP gay scandal??? Be still my heart! It is being reported that Lott had a long-time "relationship" with a high-priced male escort named Benjamin Nicholas.
I think Drudge would say this is "developing...."

Trent Lott Fallout: The Gay Escort Who Knew Too Much
Monday November 26th, 2007 5:35 PM by BHDC Staff
Filed under: Scoops, Gay, Trent Lott
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.
ORIGINAL:
Must credit Big Head DC:
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.

The one of the biggest racist in the GOP is about to retire.
Towelroad is saying this could be another gay sex scandal and Larry Flynt is planning a really BIG announcement in the next week or so. Why else would he be leaving in such a hurry? Gay Republican's - you gotta love 'em.
This is the real reason these right wing SNAKE$ are jumping ship!! They see the future and they are weak weak weak!!
Americans are sick of conservative lying criminals!!
Republicans Trail Democrats in Fund-Raising
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/04/us/politics/04repubs.html?pagewanted=1...
Since the start of the year, the Democrats raised nearly 50 percent more than the Republicans, $144.3 million compared with $101.7 million. That includes money that the candidates can use in the primary and in the general election.
Clytemnestra @ 18:
This is an issue of one Klansman (Ted Stevens) ratting out the Grand Wizard (Trent Lott).
I will never forget how he went running to BET to bail his ass out back in 2002 when the Senate threw him out of his Majority Leader position for honoring Strom Thurmond, and forgetting C-SPAN's camera crew was at the party when he said Thurmond should have been elected POTUS on the Dixiecrat platform. I thought I was high on cold medicine cause I was home with the 'flu at the time I heard it on TV...
gay?
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=benjamin+nicholas+trent+lott&um=1&ie...
If he gets outed we may have to start wondering (seriously) if all elected Republicans are gay.
CD @ 115:
Well, we know Diaper Dave Vitter isn't. But I wonder what it is that makes him want to have sex while he's shitting on himself. Just askin'.
Although it's also looking like many ReThugs would have benefitted from taking those sex ed classes they were so busy cutting funding from, so they could deal with their sexual hangups in more healthy and realistic ways.
The Political Junkie @ 116:
Vitters fetish could be the result of his being so insanely tightly wound in his job day in and day out.

Lott will stay in the Senate long enough to insure that his surreptitious add-on to the next version of the 'No Child Left
Behind' act for $100M to renovate his Mississippi 'Cottage' gets through.
When he retires, he'll sit, up to his ass in $10K bills, in his 'money room', counting the graft he stole over the past half-century.
A new development breaking over at Towerload alleges that another reason 'ol Trent may be quitting is because of a possible affair with a male escort by the name of Benjamin Nichols. , if this story has legs, is there ANY Repub who isn't a hypocritical closet case?!?
Here's the link to this possible new break in this story: http://www.towleroad.com/2007/11/is-a-male-escor.html
Lotsa whiners on this rag site...Many don't like Lott...can only call him names. Not a whole lot of discussion going on.

Gay? Well, he WAS a cheerleader...
Trent also desperately needs a new rug on his head, so he doesn't look like Herman Munster anymore.
Ding dong the witch is dead......
Told you guys....
Looks like Lott was caught with a boy-toy....

I saw the news that Lott will resign before the end of the year at: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/11/26/america/NA-GEN-US-No.-2-Republ... , I am not sorry to see him go, but I think he did some good in his home state. And now Gov. Barbour will be hard pressed to find someone who fits that description better than himself. I read his book "Herding Cats: A Life in Politics", which is a memoir of personal insights into his career in politics. After I read it, I think I know what a person he is. I found this book with a good price here: http://dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=70368 , if you are interested in him, you can read this book.
