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.

Elvis didn't marry his cousin. I think Jerry Lee Lewis did though. I also think she was 13.
Jerry Lee Lewis, who did marry his 13 y.o. cousin, was on David Letterman last night with Neil Young. Which means that CBS, Letterman, and Young embrace incest and pedophelia.

Here in FL we have known he was gay for years.
Is that against the law in Florida? Why did he keep getting elected?

I guess we may soon find out. Either way, how did those Democratic operatives get hold of the IM messages? And when?Especially when Jason sits on his Stool and starts to sing like a bird with the FBI hovering near.

Well then it appears Foley did nothing wrong.Where did you get that? He responded to what he thought was an underage kid. I would say he did wrong.

Checks it sources??? They called for Haesert to resign 3 hours ago due to a private poll showing a GOP loss of 50 seats!!!!!!
Does FOX think Karl Rove would allow Haesert to stay on if that poll was credible???????

My only question is, why did Foley resign if none of this was true? The "outing" in and of itself wasn't enough to destroy him.

Either way, how did those Democratic operatives get hold of the IM messages? And when?Knowing kids...the messages were probably e-mailed from person to person, page to page, until finally one from the "wrong" side got one and decided to use them for political purposes. That's IF the whole prank thing plays out.
As to when...months ago.

I did take note that at the end of the Foley segment, all of those dismal panelists agreed that it didn't look like Hastert would have to go All it took was Hastert standing up with the semblance of a spine, and the 'Hastert-is-in-trouble' tsunami became a weak trickle.
Observe and learn, Beltway Republicans.
