The Democratic National Committee filed two letters of cease and desist Thursday with a conservative website and XM Radio regarding comments allegedly made by DNC Chairman Howard Dean.

The website FreeRepublic.com, citing an XM radio show, said that "Dean called Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius early, around 5 am, one morning after the tornado had destroyed the town of Greensburg, Kansas and discussed with her what to say about the tornado and how to blame the war in Iraq and the Bush administration on a slow response to the aftermath."
