WASHINGTON - Crisp bacon, TiVo and round-the-clock Internet service are just a few of the reasons why Hillary Rodham Clinton loves America.

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!'?"
