Don Siegelman to speak at the convention
Don Siegelman will speak at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Siegelman tells NewsChannel 19 he has accepted an invitation extended by the Colorado delegation.
Targeted by Republican prosecutors, Alabama’s former governor says he will talk, in particular, about the critical need to reveal former Bush White House adviser Karl Rove’s role in politicizing the United States Department of Justice.

Well, turns out Siegelman is NOT speaking at the DNC. He’s speaking to a group of delegates at a breakfast meeting somewhere in Denver at their hotel. The initial report made it sound like he was going to be up on stage addressing the convention.
