>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...
ROFLOL!!! Great idea! I have to think about that one -- cherry or picker!
LOL!!
The closest thing I heard was on Scarborough when Buchanan said he wanted a full investigation including investigation of the press and why they sat on this information for months and months.
Just keep on posting, and don't let FreeRepublic's resident cranks get to you. Welcome to this site.
Well, if that could happen while he's away in rehab, I suppose similar occurrences could have happened in the past, while he was sleeping, passed out drunk, etc., and his "dates" could also have access to his AIM account.
Just another glitch in the whole ABC "investigation."
Not making excuses, just being annoying like Columbo used to do.
This is completely bogus. First of all, LAST NIGHT, Brit Hume was not on special report.
Is this a blog you normally frequent?
um, pardon my ignorance, but who is CREW?
I was wondering the same thing.
CREW is a left wing front group: citizens responsible ethics blah blah blah...
Don't be one...you'll now be in a LOT of trouble if you are. ;^)
Odd date to join up for the person you defend. Note their join date. Odd date.
for the record.... I dispise dimocraps.
Looks like Jones is saying that he is not being paid by Istook which is not surprising because that campaign has little money.
He's still saying that he was a minor when this was going on? In MD one is no longer a minor at age 18. Still can't buy beer, but no longer a minor.
It's an election year...hence a lot of damned disruptors and trolls have joined and will keep joining.
"Results 1 - 10 of about 33 for foley prank. " None of them main stream media.
Orwell had no idea of what could be done by a determined media.
Tamperomg with evidence? Well, well, well!
Haha thanks...I'm pretty thick skinned.
Go PSU.
