The U.S. Postal Inspection Service has launched an investigation after all 25 Republicans in the Ohio state Senate were mailed "envelopes full of feces," The Columbus Dispatchreported Thursday.
"The packages arrived after being sent almost a week earlier from a Cleveland post office," the newspaper reported. "The packages were intercepted by Statehouse, Cleveland and Akron post offices before reaching the senators, according to a statement from Ohio House spokesman John Fortney."

The newspaper interviewed Sen. Jay Hottinger (R), who said it was, "gross and stupid, immaturity at its highest level."
