Upon losing an FEC complaint which he originally announced with all the hoopla of a Dancing With the Stars promo claiming that the progressive Daily Kos blog was a political entity rather than the media outlet it is, conserv-o-partisan John “Myopic and Fuzzy” Bambenek got on his high horse and threatened to take the issue to Federal court so he could shoot spitballs there instead.
Far from the “brilliant timing” his packlike friends extolled, quite a few folks more logical than they pointed out his filing was completely without merit since the FEC had already decided the issue with a position exactly contrary to Mr. Bambenek’s complaint. 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.
Still others — including this site — also explained just how Mr. Bambenek’s very same complaint against the progressive blog Daily Kos could also be made against just about every other political blog in existence in America, notably that of Mr. Bambenek’s friends at the conservative Illinois Review blog (where he himself has also occasionally posted). Thus, was his goofy short-sighted hypocrisy exposed in addition to his complete and utter lack of understanding of FEC guidelines.
Turns out Mr. Bambenek’s still a dork (and I say that with all the respect due someone of his intellectual caliber) since he’s now proven to be all talk and no action by letting the appeals filing deadline pass. Maybe he was too busy picking out his frozen turkee, but at least he finally listened to all the astute people in the room by not bothering to continue chasing his own little hypocritical windmill.
Why anyone continues to give this guy a forum for his fatuousness is unclear.
