>XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU OCT 5 2006 2:53:48 ET XXXXX
CLAIM: FILTHY FOLEY ONLINE MESSAGES WERE PAGE PRANK GONE AWRY
**World Exclusive**
**Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**
According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded an unwitting Foley to type embarrassing comments that were then shared with a small group of young Hill politicos. The prank went awry when the saved IM sessions got into the hands of political operatives favorable to Democrats.
The primary source, an ally of Edmund, adamantly proclaims that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund. Both are fearful that their political careers will be affected if they are publicly brought into the matter.
The prank scenario only applies to the Edmund IM sessions and does not necessarily apply to any other exchanges between the former congressman and others.
The news come on the heels that Edmund has hired former Timothy McVeigh attorney, Stephen Jones.
Developing...
Drudge gave Rush a heads up in my opinion and nice to see that you have that "prank admission" in quotes because I don't believe it for a second...
You wanna see voter turnout?? This is MOTIVATION for the base, and they will regret playing this little sordid game.
It never hurts to keep repeating the posting rules. :-)
I can smell trolls.... As I stand Up Here I Can Still Smell The Sulfur... teee heee... how funny.
As long as the word gets out the Rats are done.
I'm with you. I'm glad the guy is gone, and the world is a better place because of it, but at the same time, its hard to feel sorry for the "victim".
That was a pretty big screwup for ABC to leave that screenname on there...do you think somebody did it on purpose?
LOLOL
Where is there a picture of the nasty Jordan Edmonds?
Thanks...I'll need it.
BRAVA!
Rush said that he was wondering what this Foley thing was doing to the voters, so he called the Republicans in Florida. They said that there polls show that the Republicans in the districts around Foley's are actually up in the polls. The scandal has helped them, not hurt them.
This manufactured scandal has the clinton Slime Machine written all over it.
Pray for W and Our Troops

Here somewhere--still looking
Basically the Dems did this to depress conservative turnout and get everyone off topic of the issues that weren't working for them.
What the dummies obviously did not understand is that while some campaign numbers were climbing, we were still looking at modest losses. But, nope, that wasn't good enough for the dummies. They were promised a takeover of at least one of the houses dammit! ::stomping foot::
So they unleash this circus.
What have they gained? Well they've established the colusion between Dems activists with the DNC and media is still intact. They've dealt ABC a bit of a blow. They still don't have Hastert's head. They don't have any guarentee Foley's replacement will lose. They have an invetsigation into who knew what and when in both parties which is something they should fear. And they upset the fractured, angry, and apathetic conservative base by re-uniting us against Dems and in support of the Reps.
Yeah, dummies, you guys were just brilliant. [s]
Even if the Reps don't follow through and nail them as they should be nailed, it's still a net loss for them as people like myself that were NOT going to vote for some Reps now are.
And as more of their scams come out, this story dies, they've ensured Woodward is old news since they decided to toss him over for Foley, and there beneath the dust is the President still on message about the WOT to fill in the sudden vacuum created by the absence of the Dems planned October Surprise. Checkmate losers.
This REALLY is getting good. :-)
Remember how we all were speculating about blackmail? I think that we were all dead on.
Jordan can kiss his cherished and yearned for career in politics bye bye...he'll be lucky to get any kind of job now.
Were you listening to him? He was just musing about teenaged boys and how they make fun of gays and wondering, and then found out Drudge had posted this.
He was too surprised and pleased with himself to have been 'in' on it.
Ummm - the same people who think the Boy Scouts should allow gay scoutmasters ?
