>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...
KARL ROVE, YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!"
Speaking of Cee BS...
I was incensed the other day when CBS News Radio pointed out that the "Conservative" Washington Times was calling for Hastert to step down. They NEVER would have referred to the NYT or Post as a "Liberal" newspaper, even though we all it.
Biased bastards...
Drudge is gay?
Can IMs be verified ? Don't think they get archived anywhere or even offer the option of so doing.
I hope but I've seen too many times the MSM circling the wagons.
You are so right!
They have whipped this into a frenzy and outed GOP gays; let them reap what they sowed.
Exactly. See my post #431.
"Somebody's going to hell."
Sadly, it's probably more like an entire political Party and an eighth--and I don't mean the entire GOP....
Prayers up for America!
And people who think this doesn't serious hurt the Democrat attack machine are kidding themselves. People get so fixated on what the Junk media is doing they forget we got our OWN media now. This is not going away. The Bloggs and Talk Radio, who talk to as many people if not more then the Junk Media, are going to drive this JUST like they did the Bush National Guard fraud.
And I don't care about this story until it includes the names of the operatives.
well, well, well
I smell it too.
Who knows, maybe the logs were doctored up to appear lurid. Lots of possibilities.
Prank gone wrong........... I tend to doubt that.
who cares! Drudge is saving our as*ses here, and now people are worried that he might be gay? WHO CARES!
I doubt Drudge is gay. Drudge is rumored to be gay by a whacko moonbat group that thinks everyone is gay.
I had read that Drudge and Ann Coulter date.
Who knows, but really who cares. Today I love Drudge.
Somebody here surely will. :-)
