First Lady Michelle Obama Does Letterman's Top 10 List
Mrs. Obama's top 10 list was a play on her new book "American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America."
The List:
No. 10: Gardening was invented in 1822 by Albert Gardener.
No. 9: Plant avocadoes, tomatoes, onions and cilantro together and grow a guacamole tree.
No. 8: Eggplants were originally cultivated for use as doorstops.
No. 7: In his lifetime, the average American will eat half a radish.
No. 6: The largest zucchini ever grown contained a Starbucks.
No. 5: Later this year the Supreme Court will finally rule on "tomato" vs. "tomahto."
No. 4: If you have an actual green thumb, it might be scurvy.
No. 3: Lettuce is 96 percent water and 4 percent lettuce.
No. 2: The White House tool shed contains shovels, trowels and Weed Whacker One.
No. 1: "With enough care and effort you can grow your own Barack-oli."
On just about every news site they are using the same Associated Press story that sites the below statement:
"Mrs. Obama's turn in the spotlight comes as President Barack Obama's campaign seeks to use his wife's popularity to help him get re-elected."
The nerve...
