>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...
Okay, that was funny.
sw
LOL!!! I'm OPINING!!
Remember the movie "The Childrens Hour"?
Oh...I forget what day....sorry....could of been tuesday....this week is flying by.
Excellent point. We at FR need an additional button right next to the abuse button; we'll call it the [bs post] button, and the offending poster will be sent to reeducation camp.
There, now I feel better.
YES! Saw it myself....and I heard Nancy Grace mentioned it too. SO.....either Foley found a way to get on his account while in rehab.....or it could of been the FBI.....BUT...it could be someone else has access to it too.
"David Corn is creepy too."
When the dems are up to no good, David Corn helps advance their game. For instance, he played prominently in the Wilson/Plame story.
Why do you new people have to lie about old time Freepers? No one on here except you disruptors thinks Foley is a great guy. Your agenda is showing through loud and clear!
COuld of been the FBI---could of been Foley ....could of been SOMEONE ELSE. BUt.....MAF54 was signed on for about 20-25 seconds the other day....while in rehab.
It had to be either the FBI, someone who knows his password or a hacker. If it was either of the last two, they're idiots, the FBI will be on their tails in a NY minute.
Would that be the same as time out? I mean, can't we just make them sit and observe until either they get it or their heads explode?
I think they should be sent to a forum where they have to type in the correct facts 100 times before they're allowed to post again.
Which means someone else can use his IM and email.
WOW!! I am PRAYING it was the perp because I think Foley didn't do all these IM's.......maybe it was Stephen Jones!! Nah.
In a word, yes.
ROFL! Okay, that one sounds good! Let's start them off with the correct definition of "pedophile". Then we can move on to how to correctly spell "Hastert" (did I spell that right?). Okay, the spelling thing might be a little much.
"GD, look at this list of who they have succeeded in getting rid of.
Newt - House Speaker
Bob Livingston - in line to be Speaker
Lott - Senate Majority Leader (stayed in Senate but lost his position)
DeLay - House Majority Leader
They tried to destroy Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson when she was indicted in Texas by Ronnie Earle but she beat them.
Now, Denny Hastert - House Speaker who replaced Newt and was elected instead of Bob Livingston who was also ruined.
I'm not defending or praising any one of these. I AM pointing out that getting rid of our people is their modus operandi. I am full up to here with it.
How many more will the dupes or trolls on this site suggest we just let go because of a Dem/media plot and ginned up firestorm?? "
You make a worthy point. Throwing out Hastert would be disaster taken from victory. I am glad to know a Texan who doesn't care to back away from a fight.
