Hillary Clinton Laughs At Herself On "The Tonight Show"

Burbank, CA (CNS) - Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton had a good time on the "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno Thursday night, joking and making fun of herself. She started by telling Leno that she almost didn't make it to the studio because of sniper fire.

"It is so great to be here, I was so worried I wasn't going to make it. I was pinned down by sniper fire," Clinton said after joining him onstage, referring to her claims - since disputed - that she dodged sniper bullets while arriving in Bosnia as first lady. Clinton later said she had "misspoke."

Leno's band played the "Rocky" theme when Clinton joined Leno on stage, as a result of a statement she made this week saying she was the underdog in the Democratic nominating contest against Barack Obama, just like the fictitious boxer was against his opponent in the Oscar-winning movie.

Clinton spoke about her husband, former president Bill Clinton, and daughter Chelsea campaigning for her. She said the former president does sometime get carried away.
