You would think that someone with a fancy title like Vice Chairwoman for the State Senate District Committee of a county's Democratic Party would be a little less childish and liitle more smart.

Dog Feces left at Congresswoman's Office

Republican U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave's re-election campaign was already heated, and it just got smelly as well: Her staff accused a Democratic activist Thursday of leaving an envelope full of dog feces at Musgrave's Greeley office.

That opening paragrpah is a little misleading given that the leaver of dog leavings admitted to the stunt.

Ensz (ed. - Kathleen Ensz, a Weld County Democratic volunteer) told The Associated Press she left the envelope at Musgrave's office but said it "wasn't in the office doors, it was in the foyer." Asked what she meant by the act, she declined comment.


And how did they find her out?


Musgrave spokesman Shaun Kenney said someone stuffed the envelope through the mail slot in the door on May 31 and then sped away in a car. Kenney said most of the preprinted return address was blacked out, but staffers used the nine-digit ZIP code to trace it to...Ensz.


Maybe next time she'll just use a plain envelope from home.


Musgrave is not unused to seeing harsh attacks though. During the 2004 campaign a group run by former Colorado Democratic Party Chair Tim Knaus aired an anti-Musgrave ad that showed "a look-alike of a Colorado congresswoman fleecing a corpse and an American soldier during battle."  That being said, her opponent claimed "I personally never would have run a spot like that in my campaign".
