Tweety for Senate

Last night on the the Colbert Report Chris Matthews was asked about the rumor that he will run against Arlen Specter for the Pennsylvania Senate seat up in 2010. His response:


"Some kids wanted to be a fireman. I wanted to be a Senator."

PHILADELPHIA - Hillary Clinton is hoping the “Colbert bump” will help propel her to victory in Pennsylvania.

The Democratic presidential candidate will make her first appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” on Thursday. Both Clinton and Colbert have come to Pennsylvania ahead of the state’s hard-fought Democratic primary on April 22.

Clinton rival Barack Obama also is in Pennsylvania, but has thus far declined Colbert’s invitation. Obama’s wife, Michelle, will appear on the show Tuesday.
