As I understand it, a "top 10" list like this would be scrubbed clean by Clinton's people to remove its most controversial or offensive elements. Unfortunately, the funniest possible jokes are almost always controversial or offensive. That said, her delivery of the list comes across as more than a little stilted, but not that much more stilted than your average John McCain appearance on <em>The Daily Show</em>. --|PW|-- It didn’t strike me as incredibly funny, but then again, these politician appearances usually are.

First it's Jay implying that she should run a criminal background check on anybody who donates money to her campaign. Then it's Farris hinting that Hsu was trying to buy favors.

When in fact he gave money to all the candidates (except Kunnii and Gravel). They also failed to mention that Obama originally said he wouldn't give his money away. Changed his mind after Clinton said she was giving hers away. Yep that's right Rev. Obama was going to keep his. So you see he didn't single Clinton out, he gave to everybody.
