Chris Matthews, host of NBC's Hardball, indicated on the Colbert Report last night that he might be interested in running for the U.S. Senate in 2010. A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Matthews appears to have his eye on Sen. Arlen Specter's seat.
MATTHEWS: Yeah, well . . . Did you ever want to be something, your whole life? Besides this?
COLBERT: I was about to say I achieved it; go ahead.
MATTHEWS: Well, it’s something you grow up, and you want — some kids want to be a fireman - I want to be a Senator.
COLBERT: That’s an announcement!
MATTHEWS: But, you know, I have to deal with these things as they come.
COLBERT: 'As they come?' Senators take control, sir!
MATTHEWS: Ha!
COLBERT: Make an announcement, right now! Show some balls!
MATTHEWS: I, um . . . you know what the difference is . . . can I say something seriously?
COLBERT: Why not?
MATTHEWS: There’s a difference between being a celebrity and someone who works for the people. And it’s a greater thing to work for the people than being on television.
