   Askimet caught two spam comments yesterday:

   "car insurance | http://carinsurancecar.blogspot.com
   IP: 85.192.165.116

   car insurance…"

   The weird thing is that our blog (http://blogs.gmfus.org/) requires users to create an account and log in before commenting and there is no user by the name of 'car insurance'.

   At first I thought he created an account, left spam and deleted his account, but there is no skip in user ID numbers, so I don't think that's possible.

   Any idea how they got through to leave a comment?

   Yes. Those are NOT comments (by searching you could have figured it out). Those are trackbacks made by automated spam scripts.
   Get some anti-spam plugins.
