Contessa Brewer doesn't have a law degree. So perhaps the MSNBC host was unaware of the old cross-examination adage: never ask a question to which you don't know the answer.
Arguing with Rep. Mo Brooks today over raising the debt ceiling, Brewer attempted to discredit the Tea Party Republican freshman Member of Congress from Alabama by asking "do you have a degree in economics?"
"Yes, ma'am, I do. Highest honors," [from Duke] answered the courtly congressman. Ruh-roh! Hat tip NB readers CWH and Felix B.

Does Contessa have an economics degree? Does Obama?
Hysterical! Contessa Brewer gets an answer she wasn’t expecting when trying to discredit a Tea Party freshman. Ping to Today show list.
I love the blurb at the botoom of the screen that 58% support Obama’s debt plan. LMAO, what debt plan?? He’s not presented one!!! Gotta love the US news media. What a bunch of dunces and zombies.
“do you have a degree in economics?”
These days, a ‘degree in economics’ seems to be comprised of the ability to spell “unexpected”...
PWNED!!!! :)
What’s her face look like afterwards?
WHAM! Is it completely flattened?
/can’t watch the linked video now
couldn’t happen to a nicer schmuck!
Zing, you commie b*tch...
University's Newhouse School of Public Communications with a B.S. in Broadcast Journalism in 1996, as well as a Certificate of Contemporary Europe following her political studies in Strasbourg, France.[1]
A J school education gives one such a broad base to pontificate about economics.
Can that possibly be her real name?
She moved on as quickly as possible but the impact was nice :)
Also from the wiki article:
In August 2009, Brewer was criticized by conservative blogs for a story about a man carrying an AR-15 assault rifle at an Obama appearance in Phoenix, Arizona, on August 17.[6][7] MSNBC was accused of editing the video to conceal the race of the man, who was black, and Brewer commented “you have a man of color in the presidency and white people showing up with guns strapped to their waists or to their legs.”[8][9]
In May 2010, Brewer received criticism for her comments about the Times Square car bomb attempt:
There was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country, because there are a lot of people who want to use this terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.[10][11][12][13]
How funny that Journalism gets a science degree!
He attended Duke, graduated in 3 years, double major, political science/economics (highest honors).
Graduated University of Alabama School of Law in ‘78.
That’s an impressive education.
She certainly walked into that.....
Did you check her expression at the end of the bit where she's looking over to her PRODUCER who left her the stupidest script to follow in response.
We're all going to starve! BWAHAHAHAHAHA
“do you have a degree in economics?” “Yes maam, I do” click errrrr (dial tone)
LOL, it's nice to see the enemy crumble to dust, especially when there is a strong wind blowing.
The only thing better would have been if it was Chrissie Matthews.
Whoop!!! Hep me hep me Hairball GAAAAACK!!!!! Hairball!!!!!!!
Contessa Brewer proves that you do not have to be a genius to be a useful idiot.
