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.

It's also possible someone had installed a keylogger via an e-mail on his computer without his knowledge and that's how the information was retrieved.

Yes, it's happening more and more frequently and I'm REALLY fed up with that.

Let's call them "cherries", or "pickers". :-)

Outstanding PKM... I go to work for a day and a 2000 post thread appears! What's the frequency Kenneth!

If anyone needs me, I'll be reading the earlier posts. Probably until morning.

The spelling thing might be too much of a challenge - I'd just be satisfied with the correct facts.

Pedophile, Hastert, then perhaps even more importantly, conservative, and election influence.

The stuff posted were not from a keylogger. It was direct from log view. Notice the colored names and diff fonts. (fonts again) Almost no way that was from anywhere but the computer this stuff was taken from as screen shots.

Yes, I do...BOTH OF THEM; the original and the remake. TCM is a great place to see great movies; though I did see the remake, in a theatre, when I was a kid.

Great catch, BTW. :-)

"Funny how the "prank admission" came out not minutes after Rush mentioned that the IMs might have been part of a prank ...that was strange."

Drudge and maybe Rush probably had a heads up from the newly hired lawyer.

Rush played that like he was holding a royal flush after drawing 4 cards in 5 card draw.

Hmmmm....decisions. Both are adequately vague as to what they really mean which is good for confusing newbies. Okay, I would go with either one. Which shall it be?

I don't see this story gaining any traction on the news networks, not even Fox. Has anyone seen anything yet? I think this is goiong to be swept under the carpet by the MSM and it won't see the light of day, other than here and Drudge.

If we were as smart as we believe ourselves to be we would demand in every way possible how Foley met his demise.

Rather than a story of Republican neglect, it is increasing apparent it was a hit job taking advantage of aged material.

The story is not Foley but who outed the story.

Jumping to the end just to let people know I am here. I am at post 2000 and trying to catch up. I was gone between 5 and 7 and missed the whole ABC thing!

By the way, emeril is making a Puerto Rican pork roast with black beans and plantains. I am boycotting Fox for their despicable coverage.

Not unless Freepers start freeping like they used to do.

Weenies type in caps.

Drudge does NOT tell me what I must do.

This guy has outlived his relevance.

His offensiveness overshadows his content.

No, I live in the deep south. But todays youth are not what they were thirty years ago. They are remarkably knowledgeable about the world. For the most part.

Send them an email and let them know what you are doing and why. Do you still own some of their mother stock?
