Check this quote from the Oklahoma Democratic Party Chairman. We'll see how many thousands of times the Rats and the media reinforce the word 'victim' today.
Lisa has her marching orders on this one, it's pretty clear.
What they say
Democrats
Oklahoma Democratic Party Chairman Lisa Pryor said Thursday a former U.S. House page who may be part of the scandal involving a former Florida congressman is an unfortunate victim of predatory behavior thats been covered up by the (U.S. House) Republican leadership.
My heart goes out to him. Hes the victim. Hes not the story, Pryor said of the former page who is working in the campaign of U.S. Rep. Ernest Istook, R-Warr Acres.
This is about corruption. Its about a cover-up almost as egregious as the initial behavior, Pryor said

It's now starting to look like not a prank but a money making book deal for young Jordon Edmund.
Apparently the prank may lead to more revelations such as a book deal that some of pages were hoping to get, a kind of Capital Hill 90210. What would sauce the offer up more than to have a learing pervert congressman in the script?

Chris Wilson of Wilson Research Strategies said Thursday he recommended last year that Istook hire Chip Englander, a Californian, as campaign manager. There's confirmation of the Chris Wilson connection, as rumored yesterday.
And implication that Englander is the one who hire Edmund (as speculated).
And we learn Istook's campaign isn't paying Edmund's legal bill.
And apparently Drudge's "prank gone bad" angle is coming from persons other than Edmund and Jones (his attorney).

Jones said, He was a page in the House of Representatives his junior year in high school at the same time Mr. Foley was a member of Congress. So he met most, if not all, of the Republican members of the House. And Im sure he met quite a few Democrats. Thats how they would know each other. So he is admitting he gave or let Dems see the IM's to dems??

Perhaps the high-power legal help was to negotiate "turning state's evidence."
Hmmmm.

Let me get this straight.
The kid is not gay but has cyber sex with a gay congressman but is is not a prank. So what is it?
The congressman is gay but not a pedophile but participates in the exchange with the kid. So what is he? Not adding up for me.

Things are a distraction, but it doesnt stop the momentum that weve been gaining, Istook said. This has to be the biggest lie of the week!

This story was changed from the original one last night that brings into question the integrity and agenda of Wilson which trust me is not much -- bolded the paragraph that was left out after being originally posted. I had sent the original to Miss Marple and found it along with it appearing on another site in OK with the original last paragraph:
Chris Wilson, of Wilson Research Strategies, said Thursday he recommended last year that Istook hire Chip Englander, a Californian, as campaign manager.
Wilson, whose company serves as consultant to Istooks campaign, said the campaign manager usually hires his staff.
Chip is a very well-known campaign manager, one of the best going into this cycle, said Wilson, who couldnt recall Thursday which previous campaigns Englander, 25, worked on.
My comment: This kid is NO Victim!
