Possibly. According to Slowplay.com, who found this Google Cached transcript online:

“Here is a troubling messageboard conversation from the House Page Alumni Association (Google cache).

Has anyone been in contact with the author? Do we know how it is coming? Was it just given up on?

Not the faintest clue; I would venture to guess it’s been given up. I was never under the impression that the person had a publisher or any such thing.

jordanedmund: (Apr 24 2006, 03:43 PM )
When I spoke to her, on the phone, a year or so back, sh said she had written a few other books. I would doubt that there was someone who would be willing to publish a book about pages though. The Clerks counsel would probably keep anything from being published anyway. Probably on the grounds that we all signed confidentiality agreements when we started; so, every interview she did with a page would be null. Just my assumption.

I think the only way something could get published about it is if it were a tell-all memoir (either classy like George Stephanopolous’s “All Too Human” or scandalous like the “Washingtonienne” affair)

Kinda off subject, but there are House pages in our Algebra book. lol

washingtonmaiden: (Apr 26 2006, 06:30 PM )
i not sure there could be a tell all about pages. dont get me wrong i loved my job. we were not close to any one, stephanopolous had a very close relationship to a president. im not sure about the rest of you but my best relationship seemed to be the wall.

we are kinda of dull in comparision to the campagin trail. think about how many hours you spent reading. i finished virginia woolf’s orlando in two weeks. that has to be a record for a woolf novel.

my guess is the pubisher thougt it would be boring”

Indeed…..

So was Jordon looking for a bookdeal? Maybe a “scandalous” story? Perhaps he went a little too far in the game, and perhaps that’s why he now needs a criminal attorney? So many questions.

Tomorrow’s another day…

Mac in today’s WaPo CREW says they had some stuff in April–that is inconsistent with the Fax date (late May) at the top of their pdf file.

Is it possible that someone pretended to be writing a book to get this stuff?
Is it possible they sexed up their stuff to get in the book?

BTW Edmunds lawyer denied drudge’s report that this was a “prank”

Mac,

Concerning Fordham’s reliability, please take note of this letter to Rich Lowry at The Corner:

“Mr. Lowry — I work for an elected official in FL, so please don’t use my name. And, I do have some firsthand experience here in terms of watching Kirk and Mark Foley in action [snip to protect e-mailer’s identity—RL]…

So Kirk says he was going to Scott Palmer in 2003 to beg them to do something about Foley and the pages. If that’s true, can someone explain why Kirk was running Foley’s aborted 2004 Senate campaign at the same time he was imploring the Speaker’s office to do something about his boss’ page problem?”

Here’s more info about the book discussed in the House Page website, from a post dated 8/1/2004:

“Hello all,
Yes, the book is still in progress. Outline is complete. Four of the fifteen chapters are in rough draft form (the chapters with input from previous Pages has not been completed - this part will take the longest since I have to spend so much time interviewing people and I’ve left this part until the end, although I have received some input from a very few people.) I have an agent (my husband is a published author), but no publisher yet. I am also working with a company that let’s you self publish, sort of Print on Demand. And yes, you do get assigned an ISBN and it will be available at all the major book sellers. So I will do that if my agent can not get a publisher interested. Pictures have not been chosen, many more edits to go through. It’s a long process. I’ve had to squeeze it in with my other responsibilities, so it’s taking longer than I thought. But it IS going to happen, at some point in time. Thanks, Robin Katsaros”
