There seems to be a rash of stories detailing the stupid, unethical and - in at least one case - possibly illegal behavior of campaign aides this year:

In Minnesota, an aide to Democrat Amy Klobuchar got caught pirating an unreleased television ad from the campaign of Republican Mark Kennedy.

Also in Minnesota, an aide to Republican Rep. John Kline was caught on tape in a parking lot outside a Democratic event yelling about "jap" made cars.

In Maryland, an aide to Democrat Ben Cardin lost her job for posting racially insensitive remarks on a personal blog.

Now we can add two more incidents o the list of campaign aides gone wild:

In Colorado, an aide to Democratic Rep. John Salazar is currently "on leave" after sending out a personal email blasting Republican Tom Tancredo. After Tancredo wrote a letter urging the Pope to resist calls to apologize for his recent remarks, Salazar's staffer wrote that Tancredo "has has always been articulate in expressing his hatred of Islam and immigrants."

In New Hampshire, an aide to Republican Rep. Charlie Bass is in hot water for doing a bit of "sock puppetry" on liberal blogs on behalf of his boss.

I'm sure the list will grow a bit longer before November 7 rolls around.
