Does Montel Williams want to embark on the well-worn path from television personality to politician?In a Thursday interview with Politico, Williams, who was a daytime talk show host for 17 years and is launching a radio show on Air America this week, said running for office is something he wants to do — just not anytime soon.
"The sight in mind is 17 years in radio — I may have to take a break for just a little while in those 17 years to run for office, but that won't be for at least ten years," he told Politico. " So you going to be listening to me to persuade others to do the right thing, and then I'm going to step up myself."
Williams, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and is a prominent advocate for legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes, also said he has had discussions at "multiple levels of government about the responsibility of us all who feel as if we have the audacity to open our mouths and complain about what happens in our society and then not step up to the plate to do something about it."
The best way to do something about it is through public service," he said.
Funny that. Not that Williams wouldn't fit right in the world of politics, he's been a bullying, jive, fast-talking, liberal, con artist for years and his ability to cry on a whim should definitely appeal to voters of the female persuasion. So hey, why not?

It is hard for me to imagine that grown people go out of their way to stop the very thing this country is meant to represent, liberty. Whatever happened to our right to the pursuit of happiness if nothing else. People should be able to go about their personal business as long as they aren’t a danger to others. And the glass pipes and marijuana do not seem that dangerous to me. Bravo Montel, Bravo.
