I wouldn't get to excited: The young man is probably just saying "it's a prank" so the whole world won't think he's gay.
Either way that creepy perv Foley took the bait.
The good news is we are closer to outing the Dem operatives who had these creepy IM's.
I agree that this guy probably needed to say something that would let him deny he is gay. And it turns out it was a "conservative" staffer. So the media has tomorrow's headline: "Mark Foley Victim of Conservative Gay Baiting: Career Destroyed by Homophobia and Teenagers' Cruelty." The story now will be how the evil conservative right wing (perhaps even Rove) destroyed the life of this upstanding gay Republican.
[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.
