Congratulations DUer Dan Brown, you've been published!!!
What a sweet surprise that was to be reading the Star Tribune and read your letter to the editor.

If you don't mind I'll share with all the other DU members:

"His True Colors

We all knew that he would do it. It was only a matter of when.

The people of Minnesota owe Sen. Norm Coleman a collective sigh of gratitude for showing us that, upon the slimmest, flimsiest, reed of an excuse, he will shrug off the individuality he wore like an ill-fitting suit to rejoin the herd of the oil apoligists and Bush sycophants, abandoning his pledge to the people of Minnesota, and to the nation, to protect the bare, microscopic sliver of untrammeled wilderness left on this continent for this and future generations.

He pales in comparison to the giant of a man who preceded him in office.

For making it crystal clear to the people of Minnesota that his loyalties lie not with the people who elected him but with the power-brokers who made him, we are grateful.

Dan Brown, Saint Paul"

Thanks Dan! Wellstone would be proud of you.

1. I don't read anything about him belonging to DU in the letter
Is he a member? Or are you speaking metaphorically? But thanks for posting the letter.

2. He posts here
It doesn't say anything about DU...right. It is just a (well-deserved) blast at Coleman's flip flop on ANWR.

8. Great letter!
Amazes me that so many who were so happy w/ Wellstone managed to forget his legacy just a couple of weeks later.
