I think it's because in his article Behe referred to Smith as displaying a "high school" attitude. The movie Mean Girls, written by Tina Fey and starring Lindsay Lohan, is about a clique of nasty, vain, and generally unpleasant girls called The Plastics in high school. I think that's all there is to it. Plus, Smith apparently recognizes the fact that some people can only take so many scientific acronyms in a row - then we have to distract ourselves, preferably with nubile dames. Well done!
About the article itself: Good on her; and it's pretty amazing that my dislike for Behe can still increase.
