>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...
That's easy. Pages are from both parties, but being young and into the social scene they make friends with each other and hang out together.
Yes, if there are any decent reporters left they will be demanding to know who's paying for Edmond's high-priced legal talent. They will also be asking the Demagogues such as Pelosi "what did you know and when did you know it" about the IMs, etc. incessantly. No Demagogue who has commented publicly on this matter should be allowed to slither away without facing the facts and addressing them....

No offense taken. As a devout evangelical Christian it does give me a laugh. But I am not superstitious (no Christian should be) and the number certainly wasn't banned in the Bible, just cited.
Exactly
I think its going to be a fight between DRUDGE and ABC SLEEZE!
I hope he hasn't spent his Christmas bonus. It might be smaller than he was hoping.
Hey, I know a few high powered closeted Dims? Anyone up for an outing? NO, I DIDN'T THINK SO.
Kudlow is a CNBC hack, who should stick to stock picking with madman buddy Craemer.
Oh, wow!
Maybe just a ploy since sanctions are about to be voted on by the UN.
At any rate......please, Lord.....let there be oil, globs of it!

You beat me to it. I was about to post it. Maybe I will post tomorrow. Let's keep it going.

ROFLMAO - Thanks...needed that
Great movie too!!
I wonder why one of the pages who read the "prank" hasn't spoken out about the joke
Because the pricey lawyer his family just hired for him has told him to STFU and stay underground!
I love how ABC plans on coming out with more stories from more pages....
drip, drip, drip.
Nah, they're not in the DNC pocket, are they. They just admitted it.
Foley resigned because he was a closeted gay republican, under cloud, who was about to be EXPOSED....
In the end, he did the right thing, and his work with the Child protection programs comprimised ANY cred he might have in denial of the charges...
But you can't be "set up" for something you didn't do, and if you were, you'd fight.
Drudge is going to win. Only the lunatic Left believes ABC.
Nacy did decline to sign an affidavit on the matter. I assume you are referring to that. Yes, the Dems have some splainin' and spinnin' to do. Democrat homosexual good. Republican homosexual bad. Who is a homosexual to vote for?
Did the Dems think we'd have no one on this short notice?? Did they read the Florida rules incorrectly?
Has Hillary been put on suicide watch yet?
Has she introduced a new rule that all pages and interns will wear chastity belts for protection from cyberspace?
