So... what's up today?

More cat food recalls
M/D Dry Cat Food is being pulled -- does your vet know?

Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc. is voluntarily recalling Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry food from the market. Hill's is taking this precautionary action because during a two-month period in early 2007, wheat gluten for this product was provided by a company that also supplied wheat gluten to Menu Foods. U.S. Food and Drug Administration tests of wheat gluten samples from this period show the presence of a small amount of melamine.

Update: Alpo canned dog food added to the recall list.

Hey, K-dog, don't keep your day-job, either

Fox "News" presents a special investigative report on government malfeasance and high-level administration conspiracy. That's right -- it's another menopausal-like attack of Sandy Berger.

Bonus: the host of the show is fittingly named Asman.

Yeah, but did they tell him to "be a golf pro"?

Obama rips into Boy King, draws enthusiastic applause
Also a threat, from the RNC --

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Friday accused [the Dictator-tot] of failing to respect the Constitution amid the uproar over the firing of eight federal prosecutors.

"I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution," Obama told an audience at a campaign fundraiser. "I believe in an attorney general who is actually the people's lawyer, not the president's lawyer."

Responding to Obama's comments, Dan Ronayne, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, said, "Senator Obama needs to understand that at this level words matter and he will be scrutinized."

Dude, fucking get a clue. If you want to "scrutinize" something, I've got a whole fucking long list, you dandruff-eating congenitally clueless asswipe.

Jesse Jackson pissed at the CBC

Rev. Jesse Jackson today denounced the Congressional Black Caucus’s planned presidential debate partnership with FOX "News." He called for yesterday’s decision to be reversed and for presidential candidates not to attend the debate.

Jackson said, “I am disappointed by the Congressional Black Caucus Institute's partnership with FOX, and strongly encourage them to reverse that decision. Why would presidential candidates, or an organization that is supposed to advocate for Black Americans, ever give a stamp of legitimacy to a network that continually marginalizes Black leaders and the Black community?"

Niger, please
Whereby our hero calls upon the Secretary of State to testify about the misadministration's lies.
No, the other ones.

Henry Waxman has invited Condoleezza Rice to testify before his panel on whether Saddam Hussein's government tried to acquire uranium yellowcake from Niger.

Waxman wants Rice to answer questions about the "fabricated intelligence about Iraq's efforts to obtain uranium from Niger to justify launching the Iraq war."

Multiple sources reported today that a top aide to Karl Rove will soon step down from her job in the White House. The aide, Sara M. Taylor, was identified in yesterday's hearing with a former top Justice Department official as seeking the resignation of a US Attorney in Arkansas. She could still face a subpoena, RAW STORY learned.

And...

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today requested that former Special Assistant to the President, Susan Ralston, appear at a deposition on Apr. 5th, as part of the committee's ongoing investigation into the connection between the White House and lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Ralston, who was a deputy to White House Adviser Karl Rove between 2001 and 2006, appeared frequently in emails collected in the case.

This is in addition to Henry Waxman's demand for info regarding Karl's possibly illegal power-point slide show to the GSA targeting Democrats.

Rethugs panic, try to freeze hearing
Hee hee!

In his Senate testimony yesterday, Kyle Sampson tried to be a “loyal Bushie,” a term Mr. Sampson used in his infamous e-mail message to describe what he was looking for in United States attorneys. But if Mr. Sampson was trying to fall on his sword, he had horrible aim. In testimony that got so embarrassing for the White House that the Republicans tried to cut it off, Mr. Sampson simply ended up making it clearer than ever that the eight prosecutors were fired for political reasons...

The administration insists that purge was not about partisan politics. But Mr. Sampson’s alternative explanation was not very credible — that the decision about which of these distinguished prosecutors should be fired was left in the hands of someone as young and inept as Mr. Sampson. If this were an aboveboard, professional process, it strains credulity that virtually no documents were produced when decisions were made, and that none of his recommendations to Mr. Gonzales were in writing.

It is no wonder that the White House is trying to stop Congress from questioning Mr. Rove, Harriet Miers, the former White House counsel, and other top officials in public, under oath and with a transcript. The more the administration tries to spin the prosecutor purge, the worse it looks.

Waxman requests documents from Rove
No, regarding the other misadministration scandal

March 29, 2007
Dear Karl:

Yesterday, the Committee held a hearing into allegations of misconduct at the General Services Administration (GSA). One of the allegations involved a political presentation that your deputy, J. Scott Jennings, made to the GSA Administrator, Lurita A. Doan, and approximately 40 GSA political appointees in the GSA headquarters building on January 26, 2007.

Just what the fuck did you think you were doing, you crooked little scumbag?

I ask that you provide the Committee with any documents and communications relating to (1) the presentation of the PowerPoint presentation or any similar presentation mentioning future elections or candidates to federal officials and (2) the use of federal agencies or resources to help Republican candidates.

I request that you answer the Committee’s questions and provide the requested documents by April 13, 2007, otherwise your dog gets it.

Sincerely,

Henry A. Waxman, Chairman

Alberto's BFF, Dear Leader, busy... ummm... "doin' stuff"
Preznit Loyaltude isn't ridin' to the rescue of his Texas pardner Alberto Gonzales, after Kyle Sampson cut his old boss's nuts off at the Senate Judiciary Committee inquiry yesterday and waved them around his head like a flag.

Publicly, the White House backed away from defending Gonzales even before Sampson had finished testifying.

"I'm going to have to let the attorney general speak for himself," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

Please welcome...
