NEW YORK (AP) – It should come as no surprise, but when Hillary Rodham Clinton kicks back for a little pleasure viewing, she gravitates to TV dramas about government and law.

Guesting on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Tuesday, she reported that the day before, her 68th birthday, she and husband Bill took a slight break from her presidential campaign and found time for some binge viewing.

They finally caught up on the Netflix political series “House of Cards,” she said, adding that other TV faves include the legal drama “The Good Wife” and “Madam Secretary,” which stars Tea Leoni as the U.S. Secretary of State.

Clinton noted that Madeleine Albright – like Clinton, a former real-life secretary of state – had recently made a guest appearance on that show.

“Are you jealous?” Colbert asked.
