BRZEZINSKI: There are now just two votes separating Republican incumbent Norm Coleman from Democratic challenger Al Franken in Minnesota's still undecided Senate race -- two votes.
SCARBOROUGH: You can steal that.
BRZEZINSKI: That's not a good day.
SCARBOROUGH: That's like -- you can keep -- you can [inaudible] steal those votes in the glove compartment.
BRZEZINSKI: Stop it. Coleman's lead all but disappeared after the state canvassing board spent a third day ruling on disputed ballots. That process continues today. And with the falling price of crude oil, airlines are seeing drastic cuts in fuel charges, but that doesn't mean they're passing along the savings to travelers. The major carriers are showing no signs of dropping baggage fees that went into effect as fuel prices soared over the summer.
SCARBOROUGH: So I saw Mandy Grunwald last night --
BRZEZINSKI: Yeah. Oh, yeah, I did too.
SCARBOROUGH: -- at the Bradleys' party, Christmas party. She comes up to me, and she says, quit saying Al Franken's stealing votes. You know what I said to her?
BRZEZINSKI: What'd you say?
SCARBOROUGH: You know what I said to her?
BRZEZINSKI: What'd you say?
SCARBOROUGH: I said, all the flacking I did for my girlfriend this past year, and that's your welcome to me?
BRZEZINSKI: That's a little rough.
SCARBOROUGH: And then she said, well, thank you so much for being the --
BRZEZINSKI: Well, that's good. And then did she --
SCARBOROUGH: -- the fair --
BRZEZINSKI: -- again sock it to you?
SCARBOROUGH: and then she said, stop -- yeah. And I said I'm not saying that, I'm just having fun with Buchanan --
BRZEZINSKI: It's a lovely party.
SCARBOROUGH: -- and just saying how easy would it be for Al Franken to steal 150.
BRZEZINSKI: OK.
SCARBOROUGH: I'm like a scientist.
BRZEZINSKI: All right.
SCARBOROUGH: This is a theory that I'm trying out there.
GEIST: Theoretically. Yeah.
SCARBOROUGH: You know what?
GEIST: Hey, Joe, what --
SCARBOROUGH: And Willie, I think this reminds --
BRZEZINSKI: Good of you.
SCARBOROUGH: -- me once again that Democrats are hostile to science, and that makes me sad.
