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 know what you're thinking: "Did he fire six shots, or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But, being this is the most powerful brain in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you Democrats have got to ask yourself one question: "Do you feel lucky?" Well, do ya?

>>>Well, we've talked about it before frequently. The MSM is so anxious to get dirt on the Right that they simply can't contain themselves long enough to check out a story>>>
CBS has been having news orgasms for four days now. I mean back to back to back stories about how republicans are in damage control, blah blah blah.
We will hear crickets now about the updated information.

If Brian Ross and the MSM can't get THIS story right, why should they be believed when the NEXT scandal breaks, especially when it will benefit the democrats (and we know that will be the design Mega dittos!

Do you know if Freeh was blocked by Pelose. There were earlier comments about that, but nothing solid. I would hope Hastert would not allow a Democrat veto of who could conduct the investigation.
