CNN: PAGE LAWYER DOES NOT RULE 'IN OR OUT' PRANK CLAIM... DEVELOPING... Former congressional page Jordan Edmund's lawyer Stephen Jones... BLITZER: He will join us live in the next hour. What are you hearing, Brian, about some of these Internet suggestions, some Republicans suggesting this whole thing is a prank, a hoax and there is no there, there.

CNN REPORTER: "We asked him about that item in the DRUDGE REPORT. He said very clearly he cannot rule that in, he cannot rule that out. He says he is not saying it was not a prank but later in the interview, CNN pressed him on that. He said that he -- he does not read the DRUDGE REPORT, not part of his regular reading and, quote, it sounds like a piece of fiction...

BLITZER: He says the DRUDE REPORT item sounds like a piece of fiction?

CNN REPORTER: He did say that, but important to note he says he is not ruling it in or out.

My tv DOES have a hole. I actually can say I hate Chris Mathews!

[Don Carlos]

Verrry likely!

"I question whether he is. He goes to Berkeley which is the bastion of liberal intelligensa in college America. He works on a republican campaign for gov or OK. but goes to Berkeley. Those two things do not add up in my mind."

I have a young relative who is very conservative and goes to Berkeley. There are a lot of funny PC stories waiting to be published.

Has anyone else noticed a big change in Fox since Clintoon accused them of being biased toward conservatives? It seems to me that they have really been catering to the liberal point of view lately--like they are bending over backwards to let them have their say.

It doesn't rule out blackmail.

Agreed.
It also could have started out as a prank and then someone later told him he was sitting on a winning lottery ticket.

Jordon is supposed to be a political junkie and he doesn't read Drudge.

Oh well, the drive by media will believe anything a rat says.

[GladesGuru]

Is 'profiling' an attorney anything like 'pranking' a lawyer?

On second thought - spare us, Please!

[F.J. Mitchell]

Jones says it was a prank before it wasn't a prank....or was that, it wasn't a prank before it was a prank? or.....?

Only John Kerry does Kerry speak, well. You Steven Jones are no John Kerry!

It started way before Clinton's blowup.

Give up on Fox, Murdoch's son James is a big liberal and buddy of Al Gore

[catholicfreeper]

Well if a 21 year old is deputy campaign manager of a state wide campaign no wonder it is in trouble. The boy just is able to get into the high donor political cocktail parties for goodness sake

[Suzy Quzy]

Fox is has soooo many LIBERALS on there that it has been UNWATCHABLE!!

[Don Carlos]

Yeah, to my everlasting embarrassment, I read that page after posting.

On the plus side, however, it seemed to have brought out a argumentative newbie/troll. ;~)

[Suzy Quzy]

I don't think it EVER was a PRANK!! Did you read the thread about the Book that's being written???

[trisham]

Welcome to Free Republic. How did you find us?

[Gorobei]

You are drifting into the realm of the absurd.

[idontlikespam]

so because i did some research on a subject before speaking about it makes me a troll? OK. all i did was point out some very basic facts - that Jones is a Republican defense lawyer. yeah, i'm new to this, so is there some "let's make random accusations against new people" policy that i should be aware of?

[Suzy Quzy]

Chris Wilson, Wilson Strategies recommended Chip Englander, 25, to Istook and said he was one of the BEST campaign managers and then when asked yesterday, Wilson couldn't name one campaign that Englander worked on!!!

i think i clicked a link on a blog page today - don't know which one, i've been reading a lot today.
