Oh, I know! They're getting so boring. But what the hell; one more for the road. This one's just at the rumour and innuendo stage, but if it's true, it's -- well, to me? A gift. To the GOP? HAHAHAHAHA!
Republican big cheese Senator Trent Lott recently announced that he's resigning in a kind of out-of-the-blue way. Lott's known more for racism, but homophobia also looms large in his voting record, which is the usual fucked-up mess of good Christian family values anti-gay bullshit. Now it's being *rumoured* that there may be more behind Lott's resignation than a desire to spend more time on the fairway -- it might be a pre-emptive strike against a scandal that's about to blow. Dan Savage ruminates on the possibility:

"The Internets are abuzz with the news that Trent Lott may have suddenly resigned from the Senate today because he was involved with Benjamin Nicholas, a gay escort and an occasional Stranger contributor. Nicholas wrote a terrific piece for us last year chastising Mike Jones for outing evangelical cocksucker Ted Haggard..."Heh. It's just a rumour, but if it's true, it's... GOP business as usual!
