NEW YORK (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean (news - web sites) poked fun at his fist-pumping outburst in his concession speech after Monday's Iowa caucuses by delivering a self-mocking Top Ten on David Letterman's CBS "Late Show" on Thursday.
Dean, who had led the polls before finishing a distant third in Iowa, videotaped the "Ways I, Howard Dean, Can Turn Things Around," in a Portsmouth, New Hampshire diner near a campaign stop he was making ahead of next week's primary.
The list included, No. 10 - "Switch to decaf," No. 4 - "Start working out and speaking with an Austrian accent," and No. 1 - "Oh, I don't know - maybe fewer crazy, red-faced rants?"
The "Late Show" skewered Dean on Tuesday, the night after his surprising Iowa defeat with "Top 10 Howard Dean Excuses," which included, No. 8 - "Weekend before the caucus, wasted 55 crucial hours marrying Britney Spears," No. 6 - "Due to fatigue on campaign trail, kissed hands and shook babies," and No. 2 - "Bad idea to keep asking self, 'What would Dukakis do?'"
