andy, can i point out -- are you going to point out that the sister dated charlie chris? all of these newscasters say it is like pealing back an onion. it is not. it is like pulling the string of a pervert sweater. >> what i am wearing. >> doesn't have yellow in it. >> victoria secret apologizes after native american headdress. i tried to get a comment. but she has president returned my calls. can we see that picture again? >> who is looking at the headdress? >> bill is. >> the more offensive thing is they are made from the heads of dead, bald eagles. >> i don't believe it is true. >> it is true. >> do you think native americans used artificial feathers? >> i believe they do. >> maybe they picked them up. they let them fall from the sky. >> authentic headdresses made from bald eagles. look it up. >> it is like the down substitute comfort beers. come -- comforters. >> when i am a panelist i have no respect. >> kind of the same. >> unnecessary. >> michael, you said what should really upset them is what with stealing poor helpless people's money. i am guessing that is reveng

>> bill: i gotta tell you i like charlie crist. chrisharlie crist getting confused here. if charlie crist would have been in charge, it would have run like clockwork. it is embarrassing not only what went through in 2000 but maybe florida would have finally got the vote right if the supreme court had let them do their jobs. the supreme court interfered. even this time with no supreme court interference, florida, it looks like a banana republic. >> we threw that question out on twitter. what the hell is going on in florida. >> rick scott screwed everything up so bad while trying to cheat. lynn says a dreadful tea party governor implementing vote suppression and austerity measures. florida needs to recall rick scott and bill says florida makes somalia's voting processes look pretty good. >> bill: it does. these international teams they have coming in to make sure the banana republics know how to vote. they ought to send them to florida the next time. jesus. >> announcer: this is the "bill press show." >> announcer: taking your e-mails on a

couple days in that general direction. >> we'll be joining you in new york charlie cook for our election coverage. thanks so much. chris cizilla, thanks to you. we'll see you later. >> thank you. >> meanwhile in staten island desperation is mounting. people are struggling to contemplate the destruction of their homes and lives as ann curry discovered firsthand in her reporting for "rock center" last night. >> so many more [ inaudible ]. >> my mom az a simple lady. >> did you have many copies of this? >> no. >> this is the only photograph. >> only wedding photograph of my mom. >> finding all these photographs. >> they mean the world to me. my pictures mean the world to me. >> most of phyllis and her husband's world is gone. >> this is our whole life is here. how do we start over? took 30 years to get our home and now he retired and -- where do we go? how do we start to build a life over again? >> and, of course, she and so many other families on staten island come from the fire fighting community and the police community, the death toll on staten island, 19. wnbc's mark san tia joins us from there. mark, you're in a hom

and among those grieving was charlie heeren's best friend, chris lawler who, himself, had only two monthse. in november, an american airlines jet got into trouble leaving kennedy airport and nosed straight into belle harbor. 260 were killed on the plane; five, including chris lawler, died on the ground. the plane crash in 2001 happened just beyond that yellow house there on the very next block. and so, here it is in the same neighborhood that more than a dozen houses burned down during hurricane sandy. and three people were killed here in belle harbor. one woman bled to death when she was cut by flying glass, and two men drowned in their basements. those deaths would have been mourned here at the harbor light pub, the place for first dates, wedding receptions, and irish wakes. it was here 32 years, owned by a man who lost a son and now a business, sean heeren's dad. your dad's restaurant, the harbor light, is really the center of this community, it seems, for most people. >> herren: a lot of good times. if those walls could talk, you know, a lot of good times. it became a place where ever

. >> chris: senators jeff session and congressman charlie wrangle on prospects for avoiding the fiscal cliff. liz, is charley wrangle right, the sky is not falling? >> i wouldn't say charlie's not right. i think the potential damage done by going off the fiscal cliff is so significant i would hope even in this town that's very divided people could come together to avoid it. what concerns me is the whole terrain we're on is an argument about whether or not to raise taxes on upper income earners. the argument ought to be is the president willing to put forward spending proposals and cuts that are serious enough to come to an agreement. the president is pushing a fallacy which i've watched some sundays bill kristol buy into on the panel that we can solve our problem. >> chris: that was a great line. >> but no, this notion that we can solve the problem by raising taxes on the upper income earners is ill-advised. >> chris: i'm going to mr. bill kristol an opportunity to respond. juan, the president and others met before thanksgiving and there was positive talk republicans were talking about

. >> chris: senators jeff session and congressman charlie rangel on prospects for avoiding the fiscalwith the panel. liz is charlie rangel right, the sky is not falling and the fiscal cliff will not happen. >> i don't want to say charlie rangel is right. look, i think the potential damage done by going off the fiscal cliff is so significant, that i would hope that even in the town that is divided right now, people will be able to come together to avoid it. what concerns me now, is that the whole terrain we're on is the argument about whether or not we should raise taxes, on the upper income earners, to get us through the end of the year, when the argument really ought to be, is the president of the united states willing to put forward spending proposals and spending cuts that are serious enough that we can in fact come to an agreement. so, i think that, you know, if you look at the bigger picture here, the president really is sort of pushing a fallacy, which i have watched some sundays, my dear friend, bill kristol buy into on the panel. that we can solve our problems... but the notio

they have to contend with the joe the plumber part of the base who despises chris christie and the fact that he pulled a charliest. so that presumes that the hack wing of the party can compel the joe the plumber wing of the party to accept yet another northeastern blue state governor as their nominee. >> but here's the thing. one of my rules in republican presidential politics and it doesn't hold for congressional campaigns, but the hack wing always wins. in 2000, george bush got in. he was popular to some degree, but he was the son of a quite unpopular former president. in 2008 they give it to john mccain, the guy who spit in their face for four years. then in 2012 they give it to mitt romney, the guy who did romney care, the predecessor to obama care. so what i have been thinking about christie, he's a bit ahead of the curve in trying to step past mitt romney. the other guy trying this strategy is bobby jindal. he's just been hammering romney. i point out christie's reaction to jindal's comments on "morning joe." >> you're seen as a leader. it was a terrible thing to say and said terribly? >> yeah, sure. you

chris chocola, president of the conservative club for growth. he wrote today, quote, if you're a republican who yearns for the days of arlen specter and charlie crist. if you prefer republican party of toomey, rubio and cruz, you should be leery of the folks in washington deciding which republicans are the most electable. you have this guy pushing back and saying that people the grassroots, the tea party people, they should be picking the candidates. don't try to get them away from picking the people like they did mourdock, akin, and some of the real crazies. >> that's true. a lot of the republicans who lost, chris -- >> which group? oh, i see. go ahead. >> george allen was a retread. denny rehberg has been around a long time. a lot were chosen by john cornyn, goading candidates, or charlie crist out of a safe governor's chair because he wanted what he thought were the strongest candidates possible. some electorates were raging against the machine. it didn't matter where they stood on an ideological spectrum. looking for candidates who are younger, younger generation coming to the fore on their own. i think republicans will be more successful if th

charlie. a little redemption there. what a power couple they are. >>> keeping us guessing, rihanna and chris brown. have rekindled their romance. she went to his concert in berlin. she sent a tweet, see you soon, lover. they were spotted leaving together after the club in berlin on thanksgiving. and then, this tweet. she tweeted to her many, many fans. i'm not going to read the caption, but it appears to be him face down on a bed with bart simpson. >> in her bed. >> in her bed. with bart simpson. can't see his face. we don't know it is chris brown. appears to be. he has the same tattoos. and bart simpson tattoos. >> the rumors those two are back as an item again. so good luck with that, rihanna. >>> also beyonce and jay-z set pictures out over the holiday of their girl, blue ivy. almost a year old by this point, believe it or not. very cute picture. mommy and, blue ivy, same similar little outfit there. pretty. beyonce and her daughter. plus you see another picture of jay-z and their daughter as well. >> that's not jay-z. it's jessica simpson's fiancee a and their little girl. >> celebrities having

pennsylvania. >> and most importantly, chris matthews' brother if you were watching "hardball." >> he calls it. he calls it. >> last night -- >> and who is it going to be? >> charlie little. >> tilts a little? >> he usually gets it right. >> before we get to the national polling. >> just talking about how we don't know what's going to happen. chris has written two books about john kennedy who remarked to an aide who had a profile written about him calling the aide brilliant. and kennedy said another 10,000 votes in illinois and we'd all be stupid. so very close. >> let's take a look at polling in recent weeks, which has barely budged. president obama and governor mitt romney deadlocked in a statistical tie with the 2000 election in mind, look back, both sides have already assembled legal teams to handle any voting irregularities or possible recounts. can you imagine that? there is, i guess, a possibility this could be a long night. this contest will likely come down to a handful of swing states which have shown the president with a consistent but razor thin advantage among likely voters. polling precincts and a number of states including virginia and new hampshire

i think we've seen some of them, charlie, this goes back to your conversation of what's going to happen in the republican party going forward. just in the last week chris christie was someone who a lot of people thought had a big national future ahead of him. his performance in the last week has both in some ways enhanceed and in some ways complicated that future within the republican party. there were a lot of republicans that were angry with chris christie for the way he threw that bear hug around president obama. but at the same time, you know, when all is -- if when all is said and done he's performed well in new jersey and it helps him to get reelected in managing the storm, again, we don't know the ultimate outcome of that, that's a verdict we can't render yet but if it turns out the people of new jersey think he did a good job and it helps him get reelected when he has to run again, that could -- this ising amoment for him in terms of his future. paul ryan -- there's conventional wisdom that ryan faded into the woods work. i think in retrospect, if you think about the two big thing he is had to do and who his actual -- what his core constituency

governor chris christie and president obama have been strategizing together on the clean-up. and joe biden is using his teeth to illuminate hoboken. >>> charlie king, norah o'donnell is in washington. >>> conditions are slowly getting better after superstorm sandy but not fast enough for its victims. at least 92 people have died because of sandy. 3.8 million utility customers still have no power. that is less than half of the outages at the peak of the storm. >> the homeland security secretary today is visiting new york's staten island where storm victims say they've been ignored. this morning drivers are waiting in long lines to get into manhattan and waiting in long lines elsewhere just to get gas. on new york's long island, the town of long beach was very hard hit. sandy eroded the barrier island sea shore and sent water into streets. seth doane is telling us what this community is facing this morning. what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning to you, gayle. 600,000 people on long island, without power. down from a million without power in the aftermath of hurricane sandy. one of the problems with restoring power is first debris has

charlie, great stuff. i was wondering how we were talking earlier about how much is mitt romney cursing his choice of the zombie eyed running mate. chrisbama win the election. >> caller: sent him to alabama a couple of times. in case you haven't checked out the entire blog, my wife add a post. the alabama state republican victory party is being held at a gun range. >> really? >> caller: what could possibly go wrong? [ laughter ] >> stephanie: this is what you pointed out. there he was getting snotty with a guy in flint about begun control. you'd forgotten about his culture warrior status. >> caller: oh, yeah, he. >> stephanie: he told a group of evangelical christians that obama's plans threaten. >> day yo christian values. >> caller: this is no longer a dog whistle. this is a siren you crank with your hand. muslim negro. [ siren ] >> you closed by saying they've run a racist campaign. chris was saying they're just throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the wall. >> caller: they have not been -- by the way if you had 7:00 this morning in pool on when fox would first mention the new black pen they are party one win. >> stephanie: r

charlie? it's the best job i have ever had. i do mean that. and a lot of it has to do with you and gayle. not chris>>> up next, your local new >> your realtime captioner: linda marie macdonald >>> good morning, everyone. it's 8:55. i'm michelle griego with your cbs 5 headlines. >>> police in milpitas are continuing a manhunt this morning after an officer- involved shooting. just before 2 a.m., they tried to pull over a tan honda when a man got out and started shooting. the officer shot back and now has minor injuries. the suspect got away. >>> a man who led police on an overnight chase is now dead. the car chase started around 11:00 last night in downtown san francisco. police pursued the suspect across the bay bridge to treasure island where he ran toward the shore. around 4 a.m. he was found to have a self- inflicted gunshot wound. police believe he committed a carjacking last week >>> of a san francisco sheriff's deputy has pled not guilty to bank robbery charges. prosecutors say fingerprints and surveillance video link phillip tong to a holdup at a san francisco bank of america earlier this mon

charlie cook and stu rothenberg. [applause] >> you know, i look at that, and i think you know what? i really need to find maybe using chrischristie's personal trainer wasn't such a great idea. [laughter] anyway, thank you all for coming, and, you know, we always ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee. ray, thank you for having us back. and, you know, we always -- for stu, you know, leading authorities put our kids through school, have fed them, put clothes on and do a wonderful, wonderful job, and we always love dealing with leading authorities. and it's just a fabulous speakers' bureau. but thank you all for coming out. we've now had one night of sleep, and i think -- yeah, more or less. and i tried an experiment this morning while shaving. i decided to try to put everything that was really important, i thought, on one 3x5 card and just to kind of boil it down. so here are just some reactions and, hopefully, over a couple weeks, next couple of weeks, you know, all of our thoughts will sort of evolve, get a little more polished. to me, you sort of look through sort of somewhat sequentially this year, and you say w

charlie cook and stu rothenberg on the election results. this is an hour. [applause] >> i looked up and i think, you know what? i really need to find -- maybe using chris christie's personal trainer was not a good idea. [laughter] anyway, thank you for coming. we always ask for whom the bell tolls for, and it tolls for thee. thank you for having as back. for stu -- leading authorities has put our kids in school and feed them and put clothes on them. wonderful job. fabulous speakers bureau. thank you. we have had one night of sleep. i tried to experiment this morning while shaving. i tried to put everything that was really important on one 3x5 card to boil it down. here are some actions. hopefully all of our thoughts will evolve and look more polished. to me, you look through somewhat this year and ask, what are the important things? we had an economy that was not supposed to reelect the president. when you have 43 months of more than 8% unemployment and look at the gdp and disposal income and house networth and poverty rate, this was not an election that was intended to reelect president. that was sort of how we started off the year. then we had one pa
