I don't think Hillary Clinton is responsible. She's too smart and calculating to not realize that such a ploy stands at least as good a chance of backfiring as working. Smear tactics like that work on Bubba and Jim Bob, but guess what? Bubba and Jim Bob aren't going to vote for either Obama or Clinton! They'll just drink their beers until November and vote for McCain.

But note that I said I don't think Hillary Clinton is responsible. She has a husband who has exhibited a tendency to think with parts of his anatomy other than his brain on several occasions. I wouldn't be surprised to find he's behind this.
