[DRUDGE]:"According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded 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. This source, an ally of Edmund, also adamantly reports that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund.

It didn't bother me that he was gay either. He was discrete about it and not in our faces about being gay.

I'm sorry. Maybe the lurid ones were fake, but there has to be a reason Foley resigned.

i don't think they were fake. The prank was that they could get him going like they did and engage him in pathetic internet sex.

This scenario is similar to the Dirty Tricks Angelides is playing with Arnolds taped conversations. The dimwits are not even good at Dirty Tricks anymore, let alone running the government of the Worlds only Hyperpower.

The story does not say the im's are fake, but that Jordan goaded him into sending them. The MSM and rats will use the same logic as with Bush's National Guard records, fake but true.

But this changes the entire character of the story.

It was the homophobic Pages that were preying on Foley, not Foley preying on the Pages. Yes, he was enticed by their IM's, but it was the Pages that led him on.

Still, as the adult, and one of the elite club of 535 Congressmen, he should have known better.

I wonder just who's paying for this kid's lawyer anyway?

Yeah, that was my first thought last night. I originally assumed that Istook is (since the guy is a member of his staff), but perhaps not.

Oh, bloody brilliant. And ABC News just swallowed it whole, right.

Uh, huh, and some here are swallowing an uncredited, unsubstantiated Drudge snippet in exactly the same way. Foley resigned because....? Have an answer to that? There may be some dirty timing on the part of whomever leaked this, and possibly some embellishment in the content of the IM's, but with the hurried resignation and rehab of Foley, where there's smoke, there's a five alarm fire raging. As I've said for days, we're more worried about going after the messenger and not simply worrying about the real problems in our own house.

The wheels seem to be coming off for the dems.

Can any Rush 24/7 listener get this to Rush?

Pelosi and Emannuel refuse to take a polygraph test over the Foley mess.

Pelosi has also refused to make a sworn affidavit

Perhaps, but I'd think he'd be very cautious before hitting the web with this story - considering ABC and company were taken in.

This explains why the guy got himself an attorney.

This is not going away......and the dems are going to be sorry.

Give Hastert credit for hanging tough.

Is this our "October Surprise"? Flip the dims on their head with their own manufactured scandal? This sounds an awful lot like Memogate two years ago does it not? Even better- maybe Rove baited the dims into running with a phony scandal. OK, tin foli alert. . .

Maybe but how well do your figure it would play in his Conservative district back home?

Foley was a Dhimmicrat until he discovered that it wasn't getting him elected. Then he switched parties. Doesn't exactly make him a conservative darling from the git-go.
