Would-be serial debate crasher Dennis Kucinich is at it again.

"After failing to qualify for a Democratic presidential candidates debate on Monday in South Carolina, Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich has filed a Federal Communications Commission complaint against host network CNN," reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"The complaint accuses the network of 'arbitrarily establishing criteria' for the presidential debate, and asks the FCC to order Kucinich's participation," notes the Plain Dealer. "Television networks stopped inviting Kucinich to presidential debates after he fared poorly in early contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan and Nevada. His past legal efforts to force inclusion haven't been successful. The candidate filed an FCC complaint against ABC earlier this month when he was excluded from a candidates' debate in New Hampshire, and last week unsuccessfully petitioned Nevada courts to force MSNBC to include him in a debate."
