This was not a hit.

What better way to spread crap than to drop it into the end of some other conversation? It's like in the trashy romance novel I read, where the Hero believed what he overhead the Villain saying about having fucked the Heroine, because the Villain was talking to other people (not directly to the Hero) and was somewhat drunk. However, the dastardly Villain actually knew the Hero was around, and deliberately said it in that situation so that it would be all the more believable.
And if some trashy romance novel writer can come up with this kind of reasoning, I would hope that one of the premier political operatives in the US today could do the same thing.
