[Vision2020] Scandals

[Pat Kraut]

On the front page of the local newspaper tonight there is talk of
scandals...but what scandal?
This is from a blog and makes me question who started this and what and when
did they know??
Foleys a slime, no question but what is the rest of the story?? Dirty tricks
to change the election?? I think dems should be put under oath also.

This is why it pays to wait and get more facts before joining the chorus of
pundits and operatives demanding resignations.  I will revisit this later.
XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX MON 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 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. This source, an ally of Edmund,
also adamantly proclaims that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank
scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund.

The news come on the heels that former FBI Chief Louis Freeh has been named
to investigate the mess.
