Coleman makes mistake about state's Great Lake
"WASHINGTON, D.C.-- The city of Duluth located on Lake Erie? That's what Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., mistakenly said Tuesday in a speech on the Senate floor......."

"'We have Duluth, which is located on Lake Erie, which is the entryway, the gateway to the Great Lakes,' he said as C-SPAN broadcast the proceedings. Duluth is on the shore of Lake Superior."

It figures, since he isn't originally from MN anyway.

4. How can ANYONE make such a mistake,
let alone the state's friggin' Senator?

An atlas, a map - they're not so hard to read.
