POSTED: 2:07 p.m. EST March 23, 2004
Poking fun at yourself has become the thing to do if you're running for president.
Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich got a payoff Monday night for his determination to stay in the Democratic presidential race: He got to present his Top 10 list on the "Late Show with David Letterman."
The subject of his list: "Ways Dennis Kucinich can still be president of the United States." Number eight was: "Act like a boob so people will perceive me as more presidential. " At number six: "Enter and win next American Idol." And No. 1 was: "Pray for a sex scandal."
Other Democratic candidates who've read similar lists include Dick Gephardt, Howard Dean and John Edwards.
