Big Head DC hears that Hustler’s Larry Flynt may have played a role in the sudden and unexpected announcement of the resignation of Sen. Trent Lott this morning. Flynt was already involved earlier this year in uncovering Sen. David Vitter’s involvement with the so-called DC Madam escort service. He has said he would reveal more “huge” tawdry politico sex scandals by year’s end.
Some are speculating that a sex scandal is involved in the odd Trent development, although the unofficial spin is that the exit of the Republican Senate Minority Whip may be linked to a new post-Senate career lobbying law that takes effect at the end of the year. He is believed to be in good health.
“Lott’s office initially denied that he he would step down…subsequent requests for information about his plans went unanswered,” acording to NBC News.
Lott had just been re-elected to a fourth Senate term just one year ago. Big Head DC can confirm that at least two of Lott’s staffers were unaware of this unusual twist over the weekend. He is now the sixth Senate Republican this year alone to announce retirement. Stay tuned.
