Drudge's 'witnesses' to 'prank' will perjure themselves to FBI
HAH! Can't wait! The FBI investigation will easily uncover that the trail of pornographic IMs and their chain of custody were not a 'prank' nor an elaborate scheme of Dem operatives (certainly Foley participated on his end quite enthusiastically) and these lying idiots will end up PERJURING themselves to investigators.

Were Drudge brighter than a 7W bulb, he would stay out of it, and let the scandal run it's course. But, with these obvious machinations to muddy the facts, he is creating more sensation and dragging this out further.

Great!

1. How do you perjure yourself to law enforcement?
Yeah, it's illegal to lie, but I thought perjury meant under oath in a court.

4. It's a felony to lie to people you know are federal agents.
Even if you're not under oath. I don't know if the agents tell you that up front - they probably do.

Scooter Libby is under indictment for 2 counts of this felony.

9. It saves everyone from digging out law books to find the exact wording.
Like calling Foley a pedophile instead of the better technical name for someone after teenage post-pubescent boys.

If I'd seen Libby news lately I'd remember offhand myself but, I can't at the moment.

The context alone of most of the dirty IMs that got published by now clearly shows that it was no prank.
And even if it were a prank, the fact remains that it is about conversations with questionable contents between a 50+ year old and some minors.

11. yes- and it will only lead to greater public scrutiny
of the filthy IMs, wchich will keep the scandal fresh in the minds of the public. It will keep the public going back to read the IMs in question to judge for themselves, whether they are a 'prank'. And reading these emails will keep the public incensed... up until Nov 7.

Yippee!
