CLAIM: FILTHY FOLEY ONLINE MESSAGES WERE PAGE PRANK GONE AWRY

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

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 news come on the heels that Edmund has hired former Timothy McVeigh attorney, Stephen Jones.

Yeah right and I have a bridge I want to sell you. Anyone that believes that needs to have a brain scan to check for activity.

Foley was not under duress when he typed those IMs. Prank or not, he was wrong to continue those conversations.

Foley was still a willing participant. He is getting what he deserves. But this ain't over by a long shot. A lot of people including the Dems are going to have sh!t on their hands before this is over. The FBI report will make interesting reading.

Seriously. Who's he blaming next? Aliens from another dimensions. Foley is a creep trying to use any excuse possible.

How does he explain showing up drunk at the dorm where the pages slept if this was all a prank? Is he going to claim he found out about the prank and was looking to have a chat with the page in question?

There is no doubt that Foley is a sleezebag. It doesn't matter if the kid was playing a prank or not. This is the part that is going to blow up.

The Dems that got it found political gold and sat on it until it would cause the most harm.

Yes, Foley is the bad guy. He has rightly been cut off at the knees. But instead of being "concerned for the children" the dems chose to use this for their own political gain. If this has been going on for 3 years and the dems knew about it for all this time they should also go down.

Typical, you don't like the message then attack the messenger. Real bright of you there.

Right, good if you like spin and diversion. Another typical left tactic. When something that does not fit your hopes and perceptions comes along just discount it. Attack the messenger and denegrate anyone that does not swallow your spin.

He gets what he gives. Like Foley, Mike Drudge is a gay who bashes gays. He is a walking contradiction.

And then there’s Matt Drudge. Drudge, who outed Jeffrey Koffman and has made a mission of exposing the lurid details of other people’s sex lives, is widely reported to be gay (and — watch out boys — an incredibly uptight lay). He seemed to confirm both rumors at once by saying that a biographer “never said there was sex [with men]; she said there was dating."

Always a writer first, (and apparently to make up for the chill in the bedroom) Drudge allegedly left a trail of love letters to old suitors. Even more shocking is that none are said to have contained false allegations that they had an affair with an intern. Then again, the book could be wrong. David Cohen, who claims to be Drudge’s former beau, said that an attention-starved Drudge, “Loved to do wild, provocative things to draw attention to himself.” Now, that doesn’t sound like the Matt Drudge we know …
