Daniel Nava, a spokesman for Margaret Donnelly offered this little nugget in an e-mail to me moments ago:

“If the truth hurts, I guess Chris can try and hide behind copyright law.  I suggest we elevate the conversation to an adult level.  I hope Chris and Jeff will join Margaret and talk about what really matters: protecting Missouri families.”

Second add as of  3:29 p.m.

Danny Kanner, spokesman for Chris Koster, just dropped me a response from to Harris like Web song-and-dance number:

“Poor Jeff Harris.  He just doesn’t seem to get it.  While he’s off making little cartoons, Chris Koster is talking to voters about how he’s the only Attorney General candidate with real law enforcement experience.

Of course, when the recording industry gets through with Harris’s rip-off of Ringo Starr and the Beatles, he may learn something yet about the legal process.  Copyright law is as good a place to start as any.”

Original post, of 1:30 p.m.

You’ve got to hand it to would-be attorney general Jeff Harris’ web team. This latest Web short contains some quality production value regardless of whether you agree with any of the assertions.

It’s reminiscent of the www.jibjab.com team which became famous for political animated cartoons in 2004, including “This Land” featuring George W. Bush in a tank and John Kerry getting Botox.

I’ll post any response from Chris Koster’s people or Margaret Donnelly’s folks, should they wish to wade into this one.

Along with the post, Harris sent out a little background on the criticisms, alleging that:

• Chris Koster appeared on the campaign trail for George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Even though he claims to be a Democrat, Koster’s campaign website features a now doctored photo of Koster speaking at a Bush-Cheney rally.
• Chris Koster appeared in a television ad supporting conservative John Ashcroft during Ashcroft’s brutal Senate campaign against Governor Mel Carnahan, a Democratic icon.
• As a top Republican leader in the Missouri Senate, Koster supported and helped push through numerous items in Matt Blunt’s agenda, including Blunt’s immoral health care cuts and the unconstitutional photo ID bill which would have blocked seniors and minority voters from casting ballots in 2006.
