Hardball With Chris Matthews (MSNBC)
MATTHEWS: Can I ask you to shoot from the hip?
What will happen more quickly, a female anchor person on a major broadcast network or a female pope? What will happen first? What is coming first, Lesley?
(LAUGHTER)
LESLEY STAHL: Or a female president, any one of those. Never.
MATTHEWS: Which one is most likely of the three?
