>XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU OCT 5 2006 2:53:48 ET XXXXX
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.
Developing...
These kids, young staffers knew Foley had a problem with young boys, and as a ha-ha they baited him into cybering, then spread it around as a joke?
This kid needs help. He actually could have brought this to the attention of the speaker, but he got his rocks off faking Foley into thinking he was into him. This kid is sicker than Foley.
Yes. But I think this will go the route of Rathergate, the noise will eventually get so loud that they will have no choice but to cover it.
They still haven't learned that they cant get away with this crap anymore.
Nah, I just bought his new albulm last week.
And, man, the Killer can still rock.
And Kolbe was a Chairman no less. Today news will make Negron a GOP hold in Foley's district.
Eyes wide shut...
Happened 40 years ago ... by your infallible logic anyone hanging around with me embraces drug use ... because I was a user 25 years ago.
If the gag was shared with other pages or ex-pages, even if the group to whom Edmunds showed them were all Republicans, once something like that get shown around, it gets shown around and around.
He hired the Timothy McVeigh lawyer.
Yeah, just like Dan Rathr and Mary Mapes proved their case against GW. They will hang on until the ycan no longer, just like CBS. This story is imploding.
Were you a rich, well-connected, cocky, bored kid? or were you a good one who did his homework, helped your parents, picked up baby birds, and was just an all 'round good person? The good kids don't even THINK about messin' with the lives of another person that way.
ABC is running scared - read my post #1260
That's how I take it. And if that's true, how do we know what text might have been taken out or added A LA SANDY BURGLAR?

"CREW" was formed in early April 2003
I think I heard O'Reilly say it was funded by Soros (?)
She hasn't been able to shut her eyes in 10 years......
Did Brian Ross and ABC News proceed with the story of the instant messages from this person without talking to him to see if he was serious in the exchange with Foley?
ABC IS GOING DOWN THE SAME TOILET THAT CBS WENT DOWN!

Especially when it is being considered that Soros' money is behind all this?
Furthermore when did you become a hall monitor?
