CNN: PAGE LAWYER DOES NOT RULE 'IN OR OUT' PRANK CLAIM... DEVELOPING... Former congressional page Jordan Edmund's lawyer Stephen Jones... BLITZER: He will join us live in the next hour. What are you hearing, Brian, about some of these Internet suggestions, some Republicans suggesting this whole thing is a prank, a hoax and there is no there, there.
CNN REPORTER: "We asked him about that item in the DRUDGE REPORT. He said very clearly he cannot rule that in, he cannot rule that out. He says he is not saying it was not a prank but later in the interview, CNN pressed him on that. He said that he -- he does not read the DRUDGE REPORT, not part of his regular reading and, quote, it sounds like a piece of fiction...
BLITZER: He says the DRUDE REPORT item sounds like a piece of fiction?
CNN REPORTER: He did say that, but important to note he says he is not ruling it in or out.

Go read the bood deal thread at the end....Robin Kasaros's words are interesting....and a freeper thinks that when she uses "book project" she could be meaning "sting operation". Her son was a gay page working for Peolsi and her husband is an Internet Security Expert" and they are Liberal Democrats!! Kind of reminding me of the "innocent" Florida couple driving around their car listening to the radio!
And very suddenly "accidentally" Newt Gingrich tunes in with a phone conversation with another congress member!!
Then it winded "innocently" up at "Bagdad"-mcdermott's desk!!!

Kind of reminding me of the "innocent" Florida couple driving around their car listening to the radio! An "innocent" Florida couple with an exceptionally well-tuned scanner - enough to make an Intelligence Agency jealous so I hear- AND who just happened to have a very good recording device ready to record anything they "stumble" across.
McDermott had to open a defense fund account because the pubbies sued him- and guess who paid into the account? None other than the Iraqi-American al Khafaji, the same guy who bribed UN inspector Scott Ritter with the movie deal money. Al Khafaji was getting oil for food money from the Baathist regime.

McDermott's trip to Baghdad- where he denounced the US- was funded by Life for Relief and Development [Key words L4RD & LIFE4RD], the terror charity which was just raided by the FBI last month, a charity whose fundraiser bragged of funding the insurgecy in Fallujah. The group has ties to Hamas. L4RD was funded in part by al Khafaji, probably using his oil for food proceeds and money from his South African based Falcon Trading Group which did millions of dollars of business with the regime.
Al Khafaji was involved indirectly or otherwise with Bayoil, whose owner Chalmers was also benefitting from smuggled oil. Shakir al Khafaji donated to other notable Dems as well, particularly Bonior, Conyers and Levin. Al Khafaji had once been caught illegally exporting guns to Iraq; while he claimed to have lost a relative to the regime he was quite tight with the regime and held conferences in Baghdad for "expatriates." IMHO these "expatriates" included IIS operatives.
APRIL 2005 : (US CONGRESS : DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO CONVENE ETHICS COMMTEE IN ORDER TO PROTECT JIM MCDERMOTT) While the Democrats pretend to be appalled at phony ethics violations of Tom DeLay, they are refusing to convene the ethics committe in order to protect one of their own, Baghdad Jim McDermott.
The House ethics committee last year [2004] began looking into a complaint filed against Rep. Jim McDermott, Washington Democrat, over a 1997 incident in which he gave reporters an illegally recorded phone conversation among House members.
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, Texas Republican and a recent target of Democrats' ethics charges, said in an interview with The Washington Times on Wednesday that he would be cleared by a committee investigation, but that Democrats are refusing to convene as a way of shielding Mr. McDermott.
According to a Republican aide, "The Democrats have frozen the committee and have frozen the investigation, and it's helping one of their own."
The complaint against Mr. McDermott stems from a 1996 [some sources say 1997] conference call among Rep. John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, and other members of Congress, including House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Georgia Republican, in which the congressmen discussed how to respond to an ethics investigation of Mr. Gingrich.
Mr. Boehner was in Florida at the time and his cell phone call was intercepted by a Florida couple, Alice and John Martin, who recorded it.
In January 1997, the Martins gave the recording to Mr. McDermott, the top Democrat on the ethics panel [at the time]. Mr. McDermott subsequently leaked the tape to news outlets, including the New York Times. When the Martins revealed Mr. McDermott's role in leaking the tape, the congressman resigned from the ethics panel.
...In August, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that Mr. McDermott had 'participated in an illegal transaction when he accepted the tape,' and fined him $60,000 plus Mr. Boehner's attorney fees. Unlike Tom DeLay, McDermott's actions were illegal. Yet his party is protecting him.

Besides discovering that her death had been caused by massive medical negligence, Jan and Laura found out that the hospital had waited over six days to get in touch with them to tell them Elaine had been hospitalized, making them unable to make it back to Chicago in time to be at her side. Just a few hours after the hospital finally told them she was in critical condition, Elaine died unnecessarily alone. Translation : For a stretch of six days, possibly more, they didn't bother to call their mother, who apparently had no other family in the area to notice she wasn't answering the phone? And they accuse the hospital of neglect?

That sounds like a good idea
3 years of a FAKE Valarie Plume story.
Yet it vanishes as soon as the Truth comes out.
Still the media & the Dems were able to do damage to the GOP as well as Tom Delay with nothing but lies.
I pray to God the Old media has lost its influence enough not to win this for the Dems.
Every time I think of Sandy Berger (a real criminal) was given a slap on the wrist by the Bush Justice Dept and how Hasert came to the defense of William Jefferson ($90,000K) in his freeze I want to bitch slap some of our jellyfish "leaders"

I would agree that the book story is an interesting aspect of this story...especially given what Jordan's lawyer said yesterday. Although in typical lawyer speak, his words can mean a number of things, but his comment regarding that these IMs sound like something in a novel, it does bring that book deal aspect front and center. In the end, I would bet it will turn out that ABC was CBSed and ross was rathered.

Suzy, I wasn't referring to the information contained in your post when I said that. I agree with you that the book deal thread is important for all to read.
