Because it was baffling why a speech writer would be that clumsy. But after reading the article, it made a lot more sense. When someone screws up like that, my first instinct is to wonder what they were thinking. I think it was a play on that.

But that trusts that everyone will know the reference, which is a risk. The more local you aim a comment, the riskier it gets.
