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 would say "loraditchm" is probably not a common screenname, wouldn't you?

I guess not. I hope nothing bad happens to this young man because of that. He may have nothing to do with this and I fear for all the youngsters that are going to get swept into this whirlpool.

So, what do y'all think? Is Matthew Loraditch (loraditchm), former Congressional page, being completely honest? the_bathhouse - Community Info ... lickitnow , link76 , lnb1956 , loraditchm , lotuswhisper , louisc , lovingthislife , lsanderson , luv2suk , luvislikeoxygen , luvrentboy , machinarex ... www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=the_bathhouse&mode=full - 55k - Supplemental Result - Cached - Similar pages

Drawn into it? I'm not so sure he wan't part of it.
Apparently the fact that Foley had a hankering for pages is one of the worst kept secrets in Washington, DC.
This statement seems perfectly reasonable and true.

In the fall of 2005, as soon as Congressman Alexander became aware of the e-mails received by our son, he called us. He explained that his office had been made aware of these e-mails by our son and that while he thought the e-mails were overly friendly, he did not think, nor did we think, that they were offensive enough to warrant an investigation.

He is a real Republican by the way. I have seen several places where he defends the Bush Administration against ridiculous claims by Democrats.
I seriously doubt he has any political motives here.

Yes. But if this other guy is/was running a gay porn site, then is he innocent or perhaps involved?
