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.

He was under 18 at other parts of it.

Even if it is true that he or one of them was under 18 at the time of any "bad language", the age of consent in Washington DC is 16.

Hey, I have been following this for the last few days. This is getting better and better. This is a "TwoFer" for us. Got rid of the Florida guy with a queer eye, replaced him with a real man with our values and have the nuts on their heels.

Life is good right now for us. Just took a shower after visiting Dork's for Dummie's and well, sH$t, it's soooo good!!!

Would you actually vote for McCain if he was your only option? (please Lord, don't let him be)

It's time for our Republican politicians to come back to conservatism and fiscal responsibility and stop spending like drunken sailors. I mean no offense to drunken sailors.

Breaking in with breaking news per Fox......oil possibly found in Israel's Dead Sea. Nothing further as yet.

This may be breaking on Fox today, but it was reported by the Jerusalem Post yesterday. Here's yesterday's post on the topic.

I did NO such thing!

I have been saying that Foley did the right thing by leaving, all week. I haven't defended his homosexuality either. I posted FACTS to you; you post emotional drivel and arrogant, meaningless replies.

Just how old ARE you kid....16?

Again, get the facts. The age of consent in DC is 16. 16. OK ? There was nothing illegal. Immoral, yes, but not illegal.

He can't do that while he is in rehab. Once you enter rehab for thirty days you aren't allowed to do anything but what they tell you to do.

Which mke me wonder why he was online for 20-25 seconds yesterday at approx. 1:45pm. I still think someone else has access to his account.....

Actually.....I think it's 18 in florida....and Foley might have been in florida IM'ing to DC..so it's a loop hole that could swing either way I think.
