Heard during The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night:
Colbert: Mr. McConaughey, will you run for Governor of Texas?
Matthew McConaughey: … Politics seems to be a broken business. Politics needs to redefine its purpose. …
And that’s certainly worth talking about. To me, the Democrats are interested in governance; the Republicans these days are, at their most innocent, only interested in winning a trophy to put on their mantlepiece, and those who are not so innocent are doing their damndest to monetize politics, or, as the rest of us know it, corruption.
There was a time when the Republicans believed in governance. That time seems to have passed.
