Dog Doo Democrat

Remember the old school prank of lighting a paper bag with dog droppings in it, leaving it your nemesis' porch, and then ringing the door bell? The idea is, the target opens the door , sees the fire, and stomps it out. We used to talk about it in Jr High School, but we never actually stooped that low (we used eggs instead). It's fun to relive those old days, but most of us have out grown childish pranks. But not Kathleen Ensz,

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.

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 Kathleen Ensz, a Weld County Democratic volunteer.

Ensz 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.

Kenney demanded an apology from Musgrave's likely Democratic opponent, state Rep. Angela Paccione of Fort Collins.

Paccione spokesman James Thompson denied the campaign had anything to do with it.

"We find that kind of act to be completely deplorable," he said. "We're not in the business of dirty tricks like that. This type of thing is really out of our control, but of course we'll do anything that we can to discourage this."

Thompson said Ensz, vice chairwoman of a state Senate district committee for the county Democratic Party, has no formal ties to the Paccione campaign.

Kenney said police were asked to investigate. A police spokesman did not immediately return a call.

Hmmm....Usually I associate Democrats with bull feces.

Oh, good grief.

From Kerry's tire slashers to the doggie-doo-ers.

And we want folks like that in charge why?
