Unfortunately for Mr. Bambenek and his head cheerleader, Ms. Eaton, the complaint was wholly without merit. The FEC had already decided a similar case in favor of free speech and letting blogs discuss as much political and partisan material as they wished (not too different from newspapers and their candidate endorsements and op-ed columns). Plus, Mr. Bambenek, in filing his complaint against Daily Kos demanding they pay fines, etc, completely overlooked the fact that his good friends at Illinois Review (where he also a contributing writer) do the exact same thing as DKos on their own conservative blog.

Perhaps that was why the FEC slammed the door shut on Mr. Bambenek by dismissing his claim in record time. He lost his case in such a spectacular fireball of idiocy that the normally staid FEC chastised the guy for even wasting their time by typing up the complaint in the first place.
