Governor Schweitzer is listed as an attendee for the upcoming Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) Convention next week in  Nashville.  That's got to have the dander up among his liberal cheering squad in Montana.

Schweitzer blogger-buddy David Sirota has never had a nice thing to say about the DLC:

• "Let's be clear - the DLC has done masterfully in selling its snake oil by always claiming that Democrats need a coherent 'positive' agenda. No one argues with that. The problem is that the DLC offers neither a coherent agenda, or anything positive."  - July 25, 2005
• "This is why the DLC is dangerous. For all their claims of supposedly wanting to help Democrats, they employ people like Marshall Wittman who specifically try to undermine the Democratic Party, even if it means he has to publicly defecate out the most rank and easily-debunkable lies."  - January 11, 2006
• "I'm hoping the Democrats reject the DLC model and change course. While it might be a fine life to be a comfortable-in-the-minority elitist in the cushy confines of Washington, D.C. where the consequences of selling out are muted, out here in the real world, the results of Democrats' permanent minority status in national politics have very real and very harsh effects -- and it's time for a change." - July 26, 2005
