Default According to Drudge

**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... Developing...
My question is, why did Foley resign [ Assuming this report is true - I doubt that it is]
Why did he check into a hospital and blame alcohol if its a hoax?

Lets see what comes of this exclusive drudge report

Default You stepped on my back your breaking my glasses too...

A hoax??? You mean like when the police take two criminals place them in separate rooms and says; "Your buddy in the other room done told us everything, you might as well fess up!!" Then one and or both sing like canaries type of a hoax???

Too bad for Foley he can't just call it a Rosanne Rosanna Danna moment and look in the camera with a confused look on his face and say, "never mind"!!!

The cats out of the bag, we just gotta figure out what kind of cat we're talking about???

I suspect he resigned because at least some of it is true. But that doesn't mean that a lot of it wasn't "made up" either.

This whole thing is like a big "cat fight" between the Democrat activist gays and the Republican gays. The Democrat activist gays resent the Republicans gays and believe they are traitors to their sexual orientation and political beliefs.....even blackmailing them by threatening "outing" them for those who aren't out. This Michael Rogers guy proves that. Well, I for one, hope it all comes out more publically in this upcoming investigation. The public needs to be aware that there are Democrats out there doing this kind of threatening and blackmailing to get their way. I also want to see the Democrat leadership placed in the position of either defending these actions or not.

I was always wondering how the Democrats got their way what with the Republicans in charge of the House, the Senate, and the Big House. Now I know. They wait for the Republicans to do something either immoral or illegal and then blackmail them. How clever of them.

Oh come on. You don't really think Democrats give two hoots if Foley is involved with 16 year old Pages, do you? They fooled you, didn't they???

Default I don't believe that

a "hoax?" I doubt it highly. He wouldn't resign and there wouldn't be prior warnings. However, I've also heard he was 18 at the time. If that were true I still think he should resign for the same reason Clinton should have. However, it would put mud on the faces of the dems because they'd have condemned someone simply because they were gay.

You are absolutly right Rebellion. No sarcasim intended. If he resigned for engaging in consenusal banter or sex with an adult, he should keep his job.
I suspect that if the guys is 18, he resigned because the folks back home probably are not too cool with that. But still lots of questions.

Ixtellor

P.S. Rebellion can be very smart when discussing things he is well informed on. And all of us can appear very foolish when discussing things we are not.

Oh yeah, they were fake alright, which explains why authorities were successfully able to trace back the username to the orignator and originating computer. Got it.

Let's see--first it's Clinton's fault, then it's Studd's fault, then it's....gee, now Hastert says it's Soros' fault.

I smell a "Vast Leftwing Conspiracy" snit coming on. And it's a BEAUT!
