It didn't take long for the identity of the person behind the anonymous viral video attack ad on presidential candidate New York Senator Hillary Clinton to be identified.

Not long after the YouTube hit clip — which splices an ominous-looking Clinton into an old Apple Computer ad — passed the 1.7 million view mark, the Huffington Post blog fingered the culprit as Philip de Vellis, who until recently worked for a firm that does consulting work for the campaign of Clinton's chief rival, Illinois Senator Barack Obama.

thanx for the heads up. :)

here's what they said:

By Thursday (March 22), a large (and growing) number of copycat ads had appeared on the Internet that either reworked de Vellis' clip or took the concept into new, even more bizarre directions.

Among them was one titled "Vote Smart: A Warning to All Women About Hillary Clinton," which takes de Vellis' original and interjects shots of a skinny model sashaying down a runway with doctored, "Clockwork Orange"-like images of Clinton with her eyes propped open. Playing over those images is the audiobook version of Mrs. Clinton's White House memoir, "Living History," in which she recounts her anger when confronting her husband, former President Bill Clinton, over his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky. The clip then devolves into a harsh attack on the Clintons, including an image of Hillary Clinton as the Statue of Liberty with the scrawled epitaph "Stalinist Rising?" underneath.

I knew this race for the democrats was going to get especially vicious with Hitlery and her Clintonista character assassins like Car"vile" leading the pack, but damn, this is soo damn early in the race. This is going to be amazing to watch them rip each other to shreads.

I was hoping Gore would jump in. I couldn't wait for the Gore v.s. Hitlery debate. The only thing better would be if John Kerry was in it too. The three biggest hypocrital limousine liberals in existence tearing each other to shreads. Awesome.

Sucks? I thought it was brutally effective. It succeeded beautifully in mocking her. In politics, it's impossible to succeed if you're painted as a joke. This did the trick. Hats off to the creator.

Somehow lost in all of ths is the identity of the girl with the sledgehammer-she's cute!

[Fierce Allegiance]

It gave me a headache.

Ping.

I just checked the link and the number of visits is up to 2.3 million. The publicity is wonderful. Keep it going!

It wasn't funny in the slightest. It was a horrible attempt at humor by some corporate lackey who probably likes Everybody Loves Raymond.
