WAUSAU, Wis. - Facing the prospect of her ninth and 10th straight losses Tuesday, Hillary Clinton tried to flush out a few more votes in Wisconsin with a crowd-pleasing tale about shooting a duck.
Yes, she bagged a duck, back when she was the First Lady of Arkansas.
"I've hunted. My father taught me how to shoot," she told a crowd at the Labor Temple in rural northern Wisconsin. "I remember standing in the cold water. It was so cold, you know, at first light. I was with a bunch of my friends, all men.
"And they all were playing a trick on me, and said, 'We're not going to shoot, you shoot,' 'cause you know what they wanted to do. They wanted to embarrass me.
"So the pressure was on. So I shot, and I shot a banded duck."
Her idea was to reassure gun owners that she's all for the Second Amendment, but it also could help shore up her support with working-class white men who have shown some signs of drifting to Barack Obama in recent primaries.
In fact, a CNN poll out yesterday found Clinton's sizable lead in Texas - where she's staking her election chances along with Ohio on March 4 - has all but vanished. Obama is favored in today's Wisconsin primary and Hawaii caucuses.
The duck tale was such a hit it inspired one man to ask, "As long as you know how to use a gun, would you be willing to show Vice President Cheney how to use his?"
Clinton and the crowd broke up, giving the senator a setup to poke fun at the veep, who accidentally shot his lawyer friend a couple of years ago in Texas.
"Once he's out of the office and the Secret Service is not around to protect people from him, we better be careful about where he goes hunting," she said to roars. "A little gun-safety protocol would be useful, don't you think?"
