By J. Richard - AOL News(Dec. 10) -- After more than eight years, Elizabeth Smart and her family are finally getting some closure. Former street preacher Brian David Mitchell, 57, was found guilty today on charges of kidnapping and transporting a minor across state lines. That minor was Elizabeth Smart, now 23, who captured the nation's attention when Mitchell abducted her from her Salt Lake City bedroom in 2002, when she was just 14 years old. During her three-day testimony, Smart told the courtroom that Mitchell raped her on a daily basis, forced her to drink alcohol and take drugs, and threatened to kill her and ...

By Dave - Politics Daily... plus four more to the chief of staff.George Stephanopoulos says he has a source: The sources add that the report will show Emanuel also had four phone calls with Blagojevich Chief of Staff John Harris.

By Dave - Politics DailyFrom Michael Sneed, Chicago Sun-Times columnist:Sneed hears rumbles President-elect Barack Obama's chief of staff,Rahm Emanuel, is reportedly on 21 different taped conversations by the feds -- dealing with his boss' vacant Senate seat!And during none of those conversations did Congressman Emmanuel become aware that the governor was trying to extract some value to himself out of his appointment powers.Yeah, right.If this is true, and if Rahm did not go immediately to the feds (like after conversation #3) or was not part of the investigation, he is in deep, deep trouble.

By Dave - Politics DailyRob Kall is not going to be happyBut, I fear, will Emanuel open the gates for a herd of Clinton vets to invade the White House? That would be a betrayal of the millions of voters, who in the primary, made a very clear non-Clinton choice. We need fresh blood, not Clinton people who were involved in supporting and defending NAFTA, the WTO and Clinton's effort to move the Democratic party to the right.Come on, President-elect Obama. Sure, it makes sense to start with a few experienced hands. But we hired you to make change happen, not to recycle.Rahm Emmanuel, Eric Holder, Tom Daschle, and ...

By Dave - Politics DailyRemember Mark Foley, the pervert congressman who was way too interested in congressional pages? And who the Democrats attempted to hang around the neck of the entire Republican congress in 2006? Yeah him. Well, the guy who the Democrats replaced him with was two-timing his wife and paying the mistress hush money. At the same time he was running ads like this: Faith, Family, Values... Heh!
