Flynt Confirms He’s Investigating Sen. Lott

Sleuth:  Although Larry Flynt concedes that his investigative team has been looking into Lott’s private life, the Hustler impresario hasn’t yet divulged any details.

Sen. Trent Lott’s sudden resignation announcement on Monday sparked speculation, starting on the Web site Big Head DC, that Lott decided to step down in order to avoid an exposé about his personal life by porn baron and political provocateur Larry Flynt.  So far, Flynt has confirmed only that Lott has been the subject of an “ongoing investigation” by his research team.


LarryFlynt.com:

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.

Cyrena, stop thinking like the usual self-focused American for a moment. If your family name were being so callously thrown about, as you endorse for the family of Mr. Nicholas, you might take a more thoughtful and just approach.

As for Trent Lott, he’s irrelevant. I even had sex with him once (well, with his haircut, actually). You don’t see me blabbing it all over town like gossipy old Flynt.

Here’s the latest (I think) comment from Mr. Nicholas:

UPDATE, 5:30 [11/27/07]: “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.

“current affiliation”? 

Christmas may come early this year - SWEET!

Mr. Nicholas has made it clear both here and on his webpage that this is a phony story. Why is Truthdig running it?
Humm,

This is sort of comical in it’s transparency. How has Mr. Nicholas made anything ‘clear’? Besides, who the hell is Mr. Nicholas that we’re all just ‘posed to believe him? Sound’s pretty desperate to me. Thou doest protest too much maybe?

See…conservatives ARE obsessed with sex.  It appears that it’s the knock down, drag out kinda stuff too.  Holy cow…..this just takes the cake.  I think America is going to break the world record for “most sexual escapades of national leaders in the shortest amount of time”.
Outraged, you’re SO RIGHT!! And, it just tickles me to no end. But then, I’m just such an absolute lover of JUSTICE!! I can’t wait to revel in whatever embarrassment Trent Lott might suffer, from whatever Larry can uncover.
Now normally, the sexual escapades stuff (at least the ones of people that I don’t know or care about) pretty much bores me. But…not THIS TIME. Not when we might get to see a modern day lynching of Trent Lott for hypocrisy of the highest order. Oh yeah…I can’t wait. This is just too delicious. Ya’ll KNOW it’s gotta be something big if the Big guy Larry Flynt is working on it.

And, what’s up with the male companion’s website handle… bigheaddc. Oh my, that’s just too cute!!! I can’t stop giggling. (no, I missed the photo, but it’s OK. I love the drama of the karma that Patrick Henry mentioned.) wink
Oh Lordy, there must be a god after all.

OK Larry, get back to your investigative work, so you can give us all of the gory details.

Whether guilty or not, Trent is just just getting his just rewards.

Karma is great.

And… the laws on lobbying change… just after Lott leaves. 
So now he can cash in much sooner.

Republicans kept digging when Clinton denied an affair with Monica. Let’s do it their way and keep investigating.

Why jack up a false story?
I thought there was something genuine here so I followed all the links and the subtle references that he hired a gay escort. But on the site of the one he is accused of hiring, he writes:

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, but I have not, nor have I ever seen or had contact with Senator Trent Lott. It’s as simple as that. It never happened.

What is going on with those old guys in Washington?I guess lunch up there is a sandwhich with some Viagra for dessert.The real problem is that they have too much time on their hands.Idle hands being the Devil’s playthings.Remember what Bob Barker says"spay and neuter your local politician”.I guess that reason for stepping down to spend more time with their families is true.When they are elected officials they spend all their time with the mistress.They certainly are not doing the people’s business.
