Dog Feces Left At Congresswoman's Office

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 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.

What was NOT mentioned in the AP story is that it appears that there is also a "Kathleen Ensz" who is in the employ of the University of Northern Colorado:

Kathleen Y. Ensz, (1970), -- Professor of French, B.A., Pomona College; M.A., University of California, Berkeley; Ph.D., Stanford University (G)

What is not known is whether or not Ms. Ensz is an associate of the UC scumbag Ward Churchill.

She used an envelope that had her address on it? What a genius... I once left dog crap on someone's welcome mat. I was ten years old. What's the professor's excuse?

[FunkyZero]

Those pesky immature teenagers!.. Oh wait, it was a fully grown democrat.

[beaversmom]

I guess we should be thankful that the good professor didn't light it up as well. Only a Dem would think to do this.

I agree. What an idiot. If you are going to pull a prank, do it right. lol.

[mkjessup]

I did a search beforehand and nothing popped up.

Thanks for your diligence.

[beaversmom]

Thanks for posting it--missed it on its first run.

That's just the fine American art of dissent.

If the Republican had left the poop at the Democrat's doorstep it would have been a hate crime.

[Ainast]

Damn straight it would have been. I hate democrats.......

leaving an envelope full of dog feces at Musgrave's Greeley office

Who licked that envelope closed?

[Question Liberal Authority]

As it is, the person most likely to get into serious legal trouble is the Republican staffer who leaked the details of this incident to the press.

A darwin award nominee ?

[Rockingham]

Another example of a Democrat's argument being nothing but crap.

[mkjessup]

Actually, there was probably more intellectual content in the feces, than in the combined wisdom of the entire 'Rat Party.

[staytrue]

Kathleen Ensz has an address in greely colorado.

It certainly appears that you have the right person in post 1.

However, the envelope does not convict her. It could be a family member like a son or daughter who did this too.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

From the place of filth, to the place of filth.

[staytrue]

It appears ms. ensz has a phd in education from stanford.

[Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit]

I would like to think she wasn't that stupid and was set up. I mean, I would like to at least think that but somehow . . . .

"it was fully grown democrat"

Hah! A truly mature person would never BE a democrat.
