i'm tiffani. >> tiffani graduated from howard university with a degree in computer science. her job as a web developer in fayetteville, north carolina, to join the accelerator. how many black female programmers do you know? >> so before i went to howard, i would say none. historically, black people -- whether we're talking about, like buffalo soldiers or the tuskegee airmen have not traditionally been thought of as being capable of things. and so i think that's kind of how it is for me as a black woman in technology. pencil you in is my start-up. and right now i'm allowing beauticians to accept appointments online. at this point i have a functional product. >> by the time she was done and the judges started critiquing her, i mean, they were critiquing her on everything they told us we didn't have to worry about. >> you need to do your darnedest to differentiate what you're doing. >> it was serious. >> okay, our next entrepreneur is anthony frazier. his start up is playd. >> we want to give gamers a chance to recommend games and also have the app recommend games to them based

i guess if you were looking at what $10,000 buys at tiffany's, it buys a pair of earrings or tiffany'ses ring. >> i like that you've done the research, reverend. >> yeah, i had to research it. when you get in their world, if it's an earring set or a bubbles ring, i guess it's wager stuff to you. >> i think this is what newt has lived for. i think that he always wanted to be a rich guy. he was always milking the system for whatever money he could get from going back decades. but i think what is really important is, depending on whether one of these guys gets the nomination, i think newt is the kind of guy that would self-destruct in public. and i think he's the kind of guy that frightens moderate suburban voters and independent voters, whereas i think mitt romney is a shrewder character in a general election. the question is, what happens in the primary? >> we're going to talk about that later in the show. bob, for years, people read your column in "the new york times." you know why alex's show is so good? >> tell me. >> we all think somebody like her would be having fun on weekends. sh

walmart. >>> from breakfast at tiffany's to the sweet sound of herman cain. we missed you, godfather. here are the top lines. >> newt gingrich has been an unreliable leader in the conservative movement. he went to washington to do good and he stayed to do well. >> no, no. i'm going to go ahead and try to talk over them. >> for you have a half million dollar purchase from tiffany's, you are not a middle class american. >> they should run the campaign the way they want and i will run mine the way i want to. >> in pointing out people's positions, not negative, but the candidates have responsibility to point out. his position used to be this. >> zany is not what we need in a president. zany is great in a campaign. a leader needs to be someone with sobriety and stability. >> a brain science initiative is the way of the human being. i come down on the side of being -- i don't like to see people lose lives in wars. >> as your commander in chief, i am proud to finally say these two words. welcome home! >> what kind of cabinet position might you like if it were possib

bresciani. >> tiffany was a runaway from louisiana. there's a lot of girls that come to the big city that get caught up and lost in the underbelly of it. she was one of those. she ended up surviving by being a prostitute. >> he picked her up in the east village and they drove down to what used to be the new york post parking lot. and he had trouble performing with her, which agitated him. obviously, he began strangling her. >> rifkin drives back to long island with tiffany's corpse and puts her in the family garage. >> it was so unusual for his sister or his mother to go anywhere near that garage, because the garage was very much like his room. it was all filled with his junk. >> three hot summer days passed before he gets around to disposing of the body. >> okay, joel, bresciani, last murder, she's decomposing. you've got her in the back of your truck. >> right. >> and where are you going? >> i intended to go out east, and i accidentally ended up exiting toward the city, and drove past the trooper car. then the christmas tree lit up.

tiffany comeaux became a 33-year-old wide we do three young sons.r entered your mind "i may never see you again"? >> no, i guess we were nigh naive. he was in the guard, he wanted to go to college. >> reporter: the tragedy touched almost everyone in this town of 32,000. >> we never lost our sense of community. >> reporter: retired major general hunt downer was the first person to find out what happened. >> it galvanized the community. >> reporter: how so? >> they came together in a way i hadn't seen in a long time. because they could all relate to it. >> reporter: the pentagon planned to return the guardsmen's remains separately. but folks here insisted the six come home together. it was the first time cameras captured flag-draped coffins returning from iraq. how many youle eulogies did you deliver? >> many. one too many. if you deliver one, it's one too many. >> reporter: the community set up a $30,000 trust fund for comeaux's three boys. >> the money that people supported my kids with was unbelievable. companies, strangers. >> reporter: as a memor

tiffany, director of our redevelopment agency. thank you for being a great partner on this. our chief of police, who is making sure -- because he just signed a lease right next door down the block for the sixth street substation. we're getting that bill! [applause] that is coming onboard next year and it's on its way. he signed a lease. the construction documents are getting in place. we just have to get past the little freeze the governor put on us on redevelopment. but that's not stopping the redevelopment staff from doing their work. thank you very much. all of you for the redevelopment staff, thank you for being here today. we did -- i just rode down here, we did that on the green bike lanes. we hope everybody gets the chance to do it. we'll have a meeting the next couple weeks to find the patches to smooth over even more of the green bike lanes so people can stop by right here, get their burgers and the shakes and the real shakes, not the ones on the bike. thank you, leah, for a wonderful ride down here as well. and i also want to thank the bicycle owner, whose bike i g

like to recognize redevelopment and have tiffany, the director, say a few words. [applause] >> thank you, jennifer. the opening of pearl's here at the corner of sixth and market st. marks a major milestone as the mayor and our community partners have indicated. what was once a vacant and blighted corner is now this incredible, beautiful store where we can all enjoy burgers and then some. that history dates back many years. since 2003, the redevelopment and the city have invested in this area. more than 30 businesses and tenants, ranging from great community partners -- they are all here due to our sixth street economic revitalization loan program. without the partnership of folks like urban solutions, and jenny mcnulty is here -- we would not have been able to achieve the success, even though we had the strong backing of our mayor and our chief. we are excited that this is just one of many great changes that are happening here, and we look forward to many more on sixth street. so thank you all for coming.

if you have a $500,000 purchase from tiffany's, you're not a middle class american. >> reporter: mitt romney bashed front-runner newt gingrich wednesday, calling the house speaker zany and questioning his dedication to the republican party. >> newt gingrich has been an unreliable leader in the conservative movement. >> reporter: gingrich was quick to fire back. i have a 90% american conservative union voting record for 20 years. i'm the only person in your lifetime to help balance the budget four straight years. >> reporter: romney wasn't the only one on the attack. >> what is wrong? >> reporter: for nearly three minutes, protesters drowned out gingrich during a speech in iowa calling him arrogant among the poor. fewer than three weeks to go before the eye was caucuses, it still appears to be anybody's race. gingrich currently holds the lead, but polls show most voters in the state are still undecided or at least willing to change their minds. ron paul is hoping to do just that, support for the texas congressman is slowly growing. >> in political terms, it means that we're probably pe

>> "breakfast at tiffany's." >> i get the car. you get the house.ry nice. >> we're there. >> 22 years of layaway payments. >>> when we come back this morning, tim tebow is on fire on the football field. find out why book sellers are very happy about his heroics. >>> plus, a close encounter with a family of gorillas. shop kmart and get after christmas prices now... at the christmas blowout sale! this 32-inch sylvania lcd tv is just $269.99... get $20 off all character bikes... and all craftsman tool storage is on sale! now that's kmart smart. >>> a series of powerful earthquakes in new zealand sent workers diving under their desks in the city of christchurch. about 60 people were treated for some minor injuries including fractures, injuries sustained in falls and also people with some emotional trauma, as well. christchurch is still recovering from a devastating quake that killed nearly 200 people back in february. >>> the washington monument is also recovering from an earthquake. it's been closed ever since a 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck the wash

through tiffany's in there.ised at him doing the kitchen sink rather than just staying focused on the temperament argument. >> precisely, how does romney attack someone for being wealthy? really? he's a multimillionaire and we all know that. ron paul's commercials have been much more effective in trying to undermine the gingrich candidacy. >> your strategy is -- it's my understanding when you set up a line of attack, you want to set up a line of attack that you hope -- where they are most likely to make a new mistake that reinforces the narrative you're trying to create which says to me, the romney folks should only be focused on temperame temperament, right? >> that's right. and you want to make sure there's a clear contrast between the line of attack and what you're criticizing your opponent for. when a rich guy calls newt rich and when someone that's changed places on every issue, it's like, what are we doing here. >>> newt gingrich's congressional opponent in 1994 was once an actor on what tv show? "the duke

if you have $500,000 much from tiffany's, you're not a middle class american. as for him trying to reference a $10,000 rhetorical bet, the speaker probably shouldn't be talking about that given a $500,000 bill at tiffany's. >> robert, these are both wealthy guys here. can either of them convince middle america that they will only fight not just for the wealthy but going to fight for them, too? >> sure. they can certainly make that argument. the question becomes whether or not the independents in the battleground states will buy something like that. republicans for the most part are going to vote for the republican candidate. hard-core democrats are going to vote for president obama. it's the independents in the swing states that matter. the question becomes whether or not those independents feel much more comfortable with a mitt romney or newt gingrich or with a president obama from a fiscal economic standpoint. >> i think it's not their background so much that's the issue. if you look at newt gingrich's economic plan, he wants to give the top .1% a $2.3 millio

we suggest a place called tiffany's.e hear it's quite a nice -- quite nice this time of year, and given their celebrity status they can probably get special deals and $500,000 lines of credit. >> you know, mika, i was surprised by this tiffany story before. >> yes. >> how much money that was. >> i didn't. >> i was thinking, who can, other than moguls, who can afford to blow that kind of money. >> at tiffany's. >> they give you that line of credit. >> exactly. i sat there thinking, gingrich couldn't make -- what is he -- i'm thinking is he making two, $3 million a year? and i -- >> no. >> and then we find out he's made $100 million. >> that is a lot of money. >> in that revolving door in washington. willie, that is a lot of money. >> that's called cashing in. >> he said he was here for christmas. let's be clear. he was here to raise money yesterday at lunch, dinner, mark, you were following him around. the question is can he raise enough cash quickly enough to keep up with his rise in the polls to carry him through iowa,

>> no, it's a -- go talk to tiffany's. >> for me, here's the clincher. i was stunned today when i heard rudy giuliani say this about newt gingrich. here's what giuliani thinks gingrich's appeal is all about. >> gingrich might be the better candidate. he might be able to make a connection with what we call the reagan democrats. you know, the democrats who moved over in '80 and '84 away from carter, away from mondale, because they found them to be too liberal and voted for a republican even though they're democrats. >> reagan democrats. i'm tired of hearing about reagan democrats in 2011, rolling into 2012. may i state that i would think most of the people who voted for ronald reagan, i don't know this for sure because nobody's done the story, i'll throw it out there. not most, but a good number of people that voted for ronald reagan are freaking dead. let's talk about the people who are still alive. maybe they'll really help out the newtster, right? the 20 somethings are now 50 somethings. where are they? how has the reagan democratic era worked out for t

. >> was it from tiffany's? >> i'm not at liberty to say. >> i understand. very discreet. love that. >> well, newt took heat earlier this year, of course, for running up that tab at the high-end jewelry show of that name, tiffany's. his half-sister, by the way, also didn't beat around the bush in saying that she would be an obama supporter come 2012, regardless of who's topping the ticket on the republican side. and that brings us to tonight's big number. as the presidential race continues to the heat up, we all know who we can depend on to make light of it, late-night tv. so just as many of the republican candidates have had their day in the sun when it comes to poll numbers, michele bachmann, she's been at the top, rick perry, herman cain, you know the drill, have also held the spotlight when it comes to providing material for the likes of stewart, colbert, "snl," and more. and there's one who's been leading the pack in that area so far. you won't be ready for it, but here it is, ready for it? mitt romney has been on top, getting over 19% of the late-night mentions since
