Chris Matthews Still Weighing Senate Run

By GottaLaff

"Senator Tweety" is still a possiblity:

A tipster tells FishbowlDC that NBC News has given Hardball host Chris Matthews until after the holidays to consider their contract offer.

According to a leak a few days ago, a new deal with Matthews was supposed to be announced this week -- which means he's probably still considering running for the U.S. Senate from Pennsylvania.

Phil Singer: "It seems to me that someone leaked disinformation to quell concerns about the ethics of allowing Matthews to stay on the air while he contemplates going for the senate seat."

And here we thought the Big Tease was over.
