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.

It's arrogance, IMO.............elitism.

They truly believe that conservatives are stupid people. They truly believe that we just don't 'get it'......and that they can pull the wool over our eyes just by making accusations.

Like this, for instance. They were trying to surpress the conservative Christian vote with this nonsense.

Is it going to work?? I don't THINK so!

Their arrogance has made THEM the stupid ones.

All he has to do is return the money and they cut new checks since it was for a state race and now it is a federal race.

How about........ "sinners?"

A little too subjective for me.

Grandma was 15 and Grandpa 29 when they married in 1930 and I am not to keen on calling them sinners.

Will you please keep us posted on these threads as to what the progress of the campaign is?

I am fascinated by what looks to be very positive local results from this desperate attack of the Dems, and I'm sure many others are too.

The biggest obstacle will be to have People vote for Foley because he cannot be taken off the ballot,but all his votes will go to Joe Negron. I am pretty certain that we will be successful in that endeavor,it is all over the news now. Most people know that Foley is on the Ballot but is no longer running. The Rats think we are as stupid as some of their voters. It will not repulse people to vote GOP,and not worry about the name on the Ballot.

Not really a parallel now is it, your grandparents?

'Sinner' is not exactly 'subjective' if you get right down to its core. We all are, but most of us don't celebrate it and include deviance in the mix.

Well, we're helping to drive the left stark raving mad (along with the President, of course)..........and that can't be all bad. ;)

CREW has been active only since February, so its profile is still relatively low. Yet Republicans detect a strong Democratic orientation. Sloan, most recently an assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, is a former aide to Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del.; then-Rep. (now Sen.) Charles Schumer, D- N.Y.; and Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich. In addition, CREW's three board members are Mark Penn, President Clinton's former pollster; Daniel Berger, a trial lawyer from Philadelphia and a Clinton fundraiser; and Louis Mayberg, the president of a mutual fund company.
