>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.

I haven't had time to look through the thousands of posts and dozens of threads.
Could someone in a nutshell tell me what's going on? Maybe point me to a link that explains it in a couple/few paragraphs? I'm watching FNC and their opening story makes it seem that Foley not only talked kinky with an underage page, but that three more have come forward since then and claimed the same.
That's different from all of the "woo hoo"s I read at the beginning of this thread. So what am I missing?
It's a dirty trick to effect this election. It will be proven.
Because of "other things" he thought would come out?

But I'm a newbie, I don't know anything and I will shut up and enjoy the rest of you
A agree with everything you wrote.
My head is still high cause our guys threw this bum out!
The other guys would defend him if he was a Dim.
One man's perversions does not make an entire party or its followers bad.
We will be judged by how we handle the problem.
You avoided responding to the contents of your post. No point game match.
LOL!!! Pelosi doesn't want Freeh to INVESTIGATE!!
Rummy's sexy. Cheney's got spirit and fight. Rove spoke at an Altazan(spel) meeting during the screaming here on FR to shut our borders to illegal aliens. Bush, I'm pissed at him for not closing the borders, how can you fight a war on terror if there's no obstruction to the invasion we're witnessing?
I've never called for any body's impeachment. But, when Hastert defended that sniveling thief Jefferson.....
It'll be a cold day in hell before a dim gets my vote. I won't vote for the like of McCain either. I'll sit home and crochet an Afghan or something before I put my hand to either a dim or McPain.
If I came across that way, I apologize as well.
Afraid he'll find something so they're discrediting him already?
Thanks. Okay, now I really need to get off FR and mind the kiddos.
( Hey, you left yourself wide open for that. )
You're welcome. :-)
IIRC, he is not in Congress anymore; he's retired.

Hey would you if you were likely up to your ears involved in it! I would not doubt it at all. She is always the first to ask republicans to testify under oath, but she won't do the same when asked by republicans to do so. I hope people put this all aside and realize if they don't vote or vote for a dem they are putting a gavel in Pelosi's liberal claws. I shudder to think!
They are going to talk about the ages of the pages coming up on Fox in a few minutes.
Yeah...Like anna nicole smith and michael douglas! All pervs in my book.
Yes, it is...THANKS for trying to get this newbie kid up to speed.
Pelosi's actions don't make sense--she should be licking her fangs--IF the story as we know it is true. And she obviously knows it is not.
Wait for tomorrow--in her best Roseanne Roseannadanna voice she will murmur "Never mind."
