How fitting... perhaps we should toast Ms. Kathleen Ensz for throwing poop at poop!

AP-CO CONGRESS DIRTY TRICK
Campaign stink: Dog feces left at congresswoman's Colorado office

GREELEY, Colo. (AP) - 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.
Musgrave, who is seeking a third term, is the House sponsor of a constitutional ban on gay marriage. One GOP analyst has said she was among the party's most vulnerable lawmakers in this year's election.

I am sure, shitsngrins, you would have been smart enough to not leave a return address- blacked out or otherwise.

This also reminds me of Six Feet Under and the creepy love triangle with the mother, old man, and intern who is now Dwight on the Office.
