>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.

I wondered why this "kid" retained a fancy lawyer. Sounds like a smarmy liberal politico in training.
I will be sending Rupert another email as to why I don't watch Fox News during the day any more with the exception of Neil C.,
Hell, I seldom watch it at night anymore.
Hey Rupert, time to flush out the liberals at Fox News before we turn Fox off like we have ABCNNBCBS.
"especially if a HUGH apology is due to Foley!!"
Apology for what? His intent was no different than that usually revealed in a legitimate law enforcement sting. Good riddens to that guy. But overall, better news for the GOP.
What did Pelosi Know, and when did she know it?
What did Ried know, and when did he know it?
What did Emmanual know, and when did he know it?
What did Dean know, and when did he scream it?
This is the motherlode if they play it right. The scumbag Foley has been dealt with and good riddance to bad rubbish -- Now TURN THE TABLES PUBBIES!!! This is a DEM SMEAR JOB and you need to get out there and paint it as the POLITICS OF PERSONAL DESTRUCTION RIGHT NOW!!!
That is one statement from the jerk that a lot of us that have had dealings with him would agree!
I've read that before, but I can't source it. Do you have a reference? Thanks.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Foley:
At the age of 23 Foley was appointed to the Lake Worth City Council as a Democrat. After some failed bids for higher political offices, he switched parties in the 1980s [7]. He was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 1990 and to the Florida Senate in 1992.
I am sorry his homosexuality was exposed in such an ugly way. I'm also sorry for the Page and his parents who asked from the gitgo this NOT be made a public issue. They had it under control.
As for the MSM, they seem to have gone on to "other more important news of the day"...Cowards!
ANyone watching Cavuto?? Soros was supposed to be on today!
They don't seem to be around right now.........LOL.
No joke.......... ship jumpers... where r u?
Conservatives, you are either with us or against us. Ye of little faithers....... come out come out where ever you might be.
And the Dems believed that, didn't they?
But what will Nancy say now, "Oh, it was just a prank?" Furgetaboutit."
How High up the Dem food chain does this go? Ried? Pelosi? Dean? Emanuel?
Honey, buy a six pack and micro-wave some popcorn!
All I got to say after watching this over the last few day, and seeing the hand wringing, calls for calm, anger, and doomsayers is....
WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
The MSM are tools, literally. Why does anyone believe what they say?
This is the page perp
HASTERT APOLOGIZES BUT REFUSES TO RESIGN...
Does not appoint former FBI chief Louis Freeh to investigate the page program -- as widely reported --because of objections from Democrats... Developing...
ROLFLMAO!
I'm not so sure it's the wrong word, even if Foley is still a scum bag.
This is exactly the sort of prank teenagers will pull - entice someone to say or write embarassing or incriminating statements, save them in audio or written format, and then use them to amuse themselves, embarass the victim and even for blackmail. Something similar was done to me when I was in high school more than 40 yearsa ago. A kid I thought was a friend called me up and guided the conversation into talking about some other peoepl. In response to leading questions, I said stupid things not knowing I was being taped. The tape was edited to make simply dumb things sound salacious and incriminating, and it was then played to mutual friends. Oh, I know it was a crime, but in those days things like that were handled differently: I called the bastards who did it out and beat the crap out of them. I learned a lesson about watching what I said, and they learned a lesson not to mess with me….
right. the reason that Haesert did not resign is that Rove told him not too. Rove did not believe the bogus Fox news polls either.
