Trent Lott: "I'm Not Gay (Right Now)"

So a couple days ago, word leaked out that Sen. Trent Lott (R) would be resigning by the end of the year. The usual excuses followed, that he was tired, and wanted to spend time with his family.

Apparently, he was tired from a variety of "alternative lifestyle choices," I think that's the phrasing now, and spending so much time away from his family with male escorts.

A quote from the male escort in question (italics are mine):

“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.”

So, two things grab my attention here. First, "on-the-record." So, off the record, could there be another version of this comment? And he also stated that he has no "current" affiliation. So he is not presently engaged with Mr. Lott, but yesterday he could've been?

Is this guy afraid to say he "never" had any affiliation with him? Boy, if nothing else, the Republicans are starting to learn how to dodge a question or two, as they were so keen to point out about Bill Clinton.
