>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...
Good job, Mod! (whoever you are..... :)
Does anyone have "THE List"?
the "List" is a list of alleged homosexual staffers on Capitol hill.
Apparently a NUMBER of news outlets have this list but are not going to release it to the public.
Given how the MSM is screaming that harmless emails should have become a federal case, then those on this list should be revealed.
unfortunately
By the time I saw 'You're sick' the post was already gone.
That is about the fastest I have seen something disappear! Great job before more people clicked.
The conservative Talk Show guys in Broward used to call Wexler "Little Wobbie" Wexler,and they would put on that baby talk when they did it. They made fun of his hysterical falsetto voice also. He was a joke. Wexler's district has a lot of Condos with huge populations of former New Yorkers that vote like sheep. It is Palm Beach and Broward,and if he did not have the Condo commandos he would not be routinely elected.
Now I REALLY wish there was identification of newly signed up people obviously visible without having to look it up. I know you can point your mouse to the screen name, but sometimes there is no reason to think you should.
I'll catch up with new info on this thread in the morning. Gotta hit the hay now.....
WOW!
Interesting that Englander is out also.
There is another thread on FR indicating the emails were altered ala Dan Rather.
There are evidence issues now because the FBI is saying the CREW retyped the emails to redact the name of the page.
ABC is saying only they have the original instant messages.
This is just getting WEIRD.

Yes, and since he is a Lawyer I am sure that is in the works. His constituents in Martin County gave him lots of money and they have already told him they will give him more, he is very well liked. We are getting excited ready to kick it up a few notches.
It's terrific and all of us need to keep on working at killing the vampire Dems! You bring the stake and I'll bring the hammer.
As for your grandparents, different times, different situations.
If one thinks all underage marriage in history is pedophilia, one is going to be deeply disturbed. It's kind of a straw dog argument that you're making, no matter how you cut it, and not one with which I care to continue....
(I hope your grandparents were happy).
That's some list of crooks and propagandists!
Right now, I'm bringing the pillow. :)
Condo Commandos? OUCH!
LOL Mine too - and they shared a common stepmother, whom neither of them could stand. Grandpa was sort of a "vagabond" and blew back into town one day, noticed my Grandma (she was 16, actually) and convinced her to run away with him. She barely knew him, but agreed, mainly to escape the "wicked stepmom". They were married 62 years.
