Goes to Kathleen Ensz, vice chairwoman of a state Senate district committee for the county Democratic Party In Greeley, Colorado. She brings a whole new aroma to politics.
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.
Politics has always been a dirty business, but this kind of sophomoric behavior makes it even worse than usual. The county Democratic party really should get rid of her. She's a disgrace. The party should realize that her actions cast all of them in a bad light.
UPDATE: Alex gets the – er – scoop.
