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 was trying to change the subject. Things were getting pretty heated. I never followed basketball, I'm a baseball fan myself. Been a die hard Red fan since I fell in love with Johnny Bench in the 60's

That one was my personal favorite too.

Heh I know...but since you seem to be knowledgeable in the subject, are the Philies any good this year? I should follow it more...I don't know just never been a huge baseball fan...if you have questions about college basketball...I'm your guy though...

Let me give you some friendly advice.....either shape up or ship out!

This thread or this forum is not about little 17 yr old me-me-me girls, it's a political forum.

Why don't you run along and when you've grown up and learned how to respect your elders and are able to carry on an intellectual conversation come back and maybe someone will consider debating with you.

"When Leftist trolls start openly announcing themselves, rather then hiding under cover as "conservatives", that usually means one of two things."

LOL...I means pissy lil liberal pukes like ace know they still wont be getting anything for Fitzmas.

Cornholegate is blowing up in their face and they just can't stand it. They are just to stupid to put anything over on FReepers and it is driving them further insane.

They just had the blogger on that outed the page and he said that Jordan was NO victim. He also did not appreciate what Istook had to say about the page being a victim either since now the page said it was a prank.

The demookie site is saying that the Istook campaign got rid of the staffer.

The blogger that outed Jordan tried to call the Istook campaign several times before he went with the article.

I don't care for the Phillies all that much. But, God rest my Pop, I always pull for the Yankees when they play. And when the Dodgers play, God rest my Mom, I always pull for them. When the Yankees play the Dodgers...I'm gonna be in trouble with one of them when we meet up again some day. lol.

[nopardons]

You're a DU mole here; not the other way around; baby troll.

BUSTED AND OWNED !

[ohioWfan]

Good to see you too, friend.

Strange days we are living in, eh?

[letsgonova19087]

Heh...good luck with that one...

[bray]

They don't care about Fooley because he is already gone. They want to take out the leadership including Bush over this manufactured outrage.

Pray for W and Our Troops

[Victoria Delsoul]

It sure is.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I'm praying.
