Top Ten....Country Grammar

Last night’s Top Ten list was “Top Ten Countries According to Secretary of State John Kerry.” Letterman said, “John Kerry, the new Secretary of State, had a little slip of the tongue. They said, ‘Can you name every country in the world?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He started to name every country in the world and he got to the K’s and he came up with something like Kyrzakhstan. He makes a small slip of the tongue, we jump right on him” (“Late Show,” CBS, 2/26).
