WASHINGTON—Crisp bacon,
The Democratic presidential candidate jokingly delivered her Top 10 list on CBS' "The Late Show" on Monday, the eve of crucial primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.
Clinton poked fun at her affection for pantsuits and host David Letterman's commentary about her clothing.
Among her top 10 was No. 8 "Thanks to the Internet, I can order new pantsuits 24/7 -- there's your pantsuit joke, Dave. Are you happy now?"
A frequent guest on other late night comedy shows, she offered this No. 2 in her taped remarks: "Is this the part where I say, 'Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!'?"
No. 9 was "Canadian bacon: Soggy and chewy; American bacon: Crisp and delicious!"
And her No. 1 answer for loving the U.S. "Apparently anyone can get a talk show."
