coming up, one of the reasons why i m so hot under the collar about the president s deal on tax cuts is to me this means the republicans won. senator bob menendez nailed it when he said working with the righties on tax cuts is like negotiating with terrorists. progressive congressman luis gutierrez is a tell it like it is guy.
and we re not going to let him get away with it. rapid-fire response son that, coming up. plus, i m calling out the bully across the river, new jersey governor chris christie. he s in the playbook. and defense secretary gates just spoke out on a don t ask, don t tell repeal. you re watching the ed show on msnbc. rachel maddow, she ll be back here tomorrow night. who s your someone? campbell s healthy request can help. low cholesterol, zero grams trans fat, and a healthy level of sodium. it s amazing what soup can do. we ve saved people a lot of money on car insurance. feels nice going into the holidays. ohhhh.. will you marry me? oooh, helzberg diamonds. yeah, well he must have saved some money with geico. reminds me of the gecko mating call. really? how does that go? shoo be doo be doo.
new jersey has some of the best schools in the country, and i m so proud to be a new jersey teacher. we need to be sharing that. even after losing $820 million in funding? you know, i really believe that we re going to come on the right side of history. i really believe that we re going to fix this. i can t believe otherwise. i m an optimist at heart and i believe we will stand up as newç jerseyans and as teachers and educators and parents coming together for a better new jersey. i don t think he s going to move you forward at all. good to have you with us. final page of the playbook. tiger woods blew a four-shot lead yesterday and eliminated during a sudden death playoff at the chevron world challenge. it was the first time in his career he didn t win by leading at least by three shots going into the final round. tiger tried to take it in stride saying that it was a great week even though he didn t win. the other guy played pretty well too. coming up, the drugster s racis
election? i haven t heard a thing. has he gone to maine? has he gone to massachusetts? two states he won by huge double digits to rally the republican senators who represent those states to support the ending of tax cuts for the rich. no. he didn t even try. so the capitulation in your opinion. and that is going to be politically hurtful. i think for a long time. it s not just capitulation. it s asking his base to compromise when he wasn t willing to fight. and it s a tragic day for those of white house trusted him to fight. adam green, good to have you with us tonight. thank you so much. thank you. coming up bullyç governor clift christie in new jersey does it again. he just got caught on tape chastising a hard-working educator. someone is finally making a move to stop rush limbaugh s racism on the air. reverend al sharpton wants the fcc to hold rush limbaugh accountable. you re watching a special edition of the ed show on msnbc. we re right back.
more than happy to put ceos in charge of deciding how much taxes they actually pay. this guy has no idea what he is talking about. for every dollar in unemployment benefits the economy grows by $1.61. making all of the bush tax cuts permanent only gets the economy 32 cents per dollar. gingrich saying he wants to put business leaders in charge of their own tax cuts. gosh, maybe some insurance executives? while getting rid of unemployment insurance is financially irresponsible. psycho talk. coming up, senator bernie sanders called it an absolute disaster. liberals across the country, they re going nuts because the president caved on tax cuts for the top 2%. reaction from the united steelworkers international president leo gerard and joan walsh of salon.com. that s coming up tonight in the battleground story. the maverick ought to be ashamed of himself. he just turned his back on a 9/11 first responder.
