Wicker actually appeared with Ted Kennedy and other liberal Democrats in a TV ad supporting liberal Democrat Aníbal Acevedo-Vilá for Governor of Puerto Rico

I am completely ignorant of this issue, and will check it out. All I know is that the GOP Platform calls for Puerto Rican statehood, and has done so for many years, which of course would be against GOP political interests.

I did not know about the sordid record of Roger Wicker. All that I knew is that he has been there quite a while since Jaimie “Mr. Pork” Whitten retired and died and that he represents the birthplace of Elvis.

I have heard some pretty mean statements about Sen.Lott over the years on this site. Sen.Lott IS a true Republican, meaning he stands for conservative values. I’ll miss him; he’s been a great Republican leader. I wish he and his family all the best. He is leaving with the dignity and respect he deserves.

“Of course, getting yourself appointed to the Senate tends to be unpopular with the voters, and people who do that usually lose in the next election.”

That’s true, and I doubt that Barbour would be that foolish. Perhaps he can appoint state Treasurer Tate Reeves, who was the top vote-getter in the MS state elections this year.

Here it is............

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.
