IMs A HOAX GONE BAD. BUT NOBODY OTHER THAN DRUDGE REPORTS IT

Worse than bias---a full 45 minutes after Drudge reported the IMs were a hoax all news services still reported" that the Republicans were guilty. How bad? I was driving home and turned Rush on at 11:45 PDT and he broke the below Drudge report. Fifteen minutes later, the station that carries his program reported the corruption within the GOP.

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 Edmund has hired former Timothy McVeigh attorney, Stephen Jones, and that former FBI chief Louis Freeh has been named to investigate the entire mess.

Google News continues the sliming; FOX, continuing the proof that their people are just as lazy as anyone elses, also slimes Hastert....it goes on. At 12:40, a full hour after Drudge breaks story, there is not a word on MSM.
