>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...
You are buying into their bs.
As far as I know, he never acknowledged the IMs. Maybe you can enlighten me? I believe he just said the hell with it. Your RAT crap is enough to make anyone tired. Why don't the RATS try to do something useful. Whoops, forgot, the RAT brain is frozen to crap only.
I remember him walking out during the impeachment vote. He didnt have to do what he did. It was intimidation and bribery.
R-O-V-E
They don't seem to be around right now.........LOL.
The dems plans all have the same look of being drawn with a crayon. :)

LOL!!!
Being rleased now because Foley quit paying....
Yeah, this will be much more interesting if the Dems hatched the plot to bait Foley, and then use it against the Republicans.
makes sense but what a waste of taxpayer $$ to have that kind of activity going on and what sort of character do those pages really display?
Wow! WAY TO ROCK MY WORLD!!

He did it.
It was a set up but he did it.
Hey, I'm just making my contribution for a diversified readership. See post #642
We don't have a lot of facts to go on, do we? This whole story is breaking so fast and with so many different angles its become political origami.
What really needs to be explored and exposed is the timeline of this mess. Foley is GONE -- history -- and he should be. But what the media is probably doing now is gearing up for a big, fast shift if this story is true. They'll go straight from "Foley exposed by IMs" to "homphobic former page plotted to out longstanding gay congressman."
ABC and the liberal press is going to spin this, and hard. We'd all better be prepared to go from shock (here and now) to serious outrage.
I'm hoping this will damage the dems big time as well as the press, but hope springs eternal in spite of reality.
Yeah, we can agree on that. :)
" This changes the entire character of the story.
It was the homophobic Pages that were preying on Foley, not Foley preying on the Pages."
Is that a hate crime ?
The parents were for the kid that had the emails. The IM's are from a different page who now says it was a prank. Guess he might not be so arrogant today! :)
