Sadly, the Kerry campaign is misusing the Federal Election Commission's process to distract attention and gain free publicity

And that's what is so beautiful about this! It's free publicity - for the Swifties!

There was a fabulous quote last week on Fox News' Special Report to the effect that the FEC is the most feckless organization in Washington. It is comprised of an equal number of Republicans and Democrats, which shouldn't impair its ability to render objective judgment, but does. Witness the very clear interactions and collaborations of $60+ million in Democratic 527s as opposed to the unsubstantiated belief that there is a master plot to undermine Kerry. This is laughable as Kerry is his own worst enemy.

THIS jumped out at me:

As you know, the statute, 2 U.S.C. 437g(a)(1), states that any complaint filed with the Commission must be signed and notarized and made under "pain of perjury and subject to the provisions of section 1001 of title 18." The Commission must deal with this complaint in an appropriate matter.

I looked up this specific law, and it's here:

http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/1001.html

Which reads in part, "...shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."

THIS IS BIG STUFF! The RNC, the very last people I would ever expect to fight back and defend themselves, just called down the lightning on the DNC!!

This complaint is based on nothing more than the Kerry campaign's false accusations, having them reported in the media, and then the Kerry campaign referring to the published false accusations as proof

Dem SOP. What else is new?
