8. Here's Smudge's whine; which does NOT match what the kid's BOSS said

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 investigation.

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 kid's former boss's rant:

...Istook’s campaign manager, Chip Englander, who also is from California, declined comment Wednesday to an Oklahoman reporter.

However, Englander gave The Oklahoman a statement that was attributed to Istook.

The statement says: “The sad and sick behavior of Mark Foley was a total surprise to me when it was revealed. Law enforcement is doing its job, and I support that effort. Now we should all support and protect the victims, and they should not be hounded by the press.

“It was a complete surprise to learn this morning that one victim may be someone I know. Each one of the victims deserves their privacy. To every reporter I request, please have the decency to avoid making things worse for the victims, and just leave them alone. This happened years ago when the victims were minors.” ... http://www.newsok.com/article/2951137/

So, if the page was 'joking' or 'pranking' he certainly didn't let his FORMER BOSS know that fact.

9. um yea, that is believable

NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[fishwax]

10. drudge's story in no way relieves foley of guilt

Foley still sent the inappropriate messages, even according to drudge's story.

[MADem]

11. But .... but..... but.........!!!!

They'll scramble around, and try these on for size:

The Democrats put the page UP to it!!

The page was a SECRET DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVE!!!!

And mark my words, if that fails, they'll go with:

The page was ENTRAPPING Foley; and

The page was a cheap slut who WANTED the attention!

The last two scenarios are probably why the kid has lawyered up!

They don't care about the truth, they just care about tossing sand in the eyes of the media...

[greenbriar]

12. we MUST NOT let it happen

letters to editor

calls to all media


Olberman...


ALL need to be contacted

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

14. It's not even true, and doesn't even make any sense (drudge).

What high school kid who is ambitious and interested in a future in Washington is going to "prank IM" explicit gay cybersex with a Congressman?

Um yeah that's gonna happen.

Whoever they're paying to come up with this shit, they're paying way too much.

[greenbriar]
