GREELEY, Colo. --
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 spokeswoman 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.
Seesh, to leave a bit of brain behind is a terrible thing.
The things that staffers got to do. Ugh.
Yeah, she obviously didn't have much to spare.
I guess this is what Howie Dean means when he says that democRATS reflect American values.

The Dummies are getting desperate.
Do I hear prison time?...
Dog, yeah right.
Even with all her degrees, it seems that dims really are dim!
Tawana Brawley did it.
Since it was put their by a DemocRAT, how do they know it's dog feces. DemocRATS are not that creative.
We only did that on Haloween but we left on a front porch in a burning paper bag.
Who is the feces expert that identified it as dog?
Well, at least it wasn't a hail of bullets or a union rent-a-mob. Those come later.
Can the CSI folks get DNA from that baggy or it's contents?
I wouldn't be suprised if that ain't "dog" poop from a canine.
I think all homos are gifted that way.
That explains a lot.
Ms. Brawley would be smart enough not to use a pre-printed envelope with return address.
