MSNBC Info-Babe to Congressman: ‘Do you have a degree in economics?’ ‘Yes ma’am, I do. Highest honors’

MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer, you may remember just yesterday said the attack on Rupert Murdoch at a hearing encapsulated what the British were feeling.

Today, Contessa “educated” a conservative Representative that if Congress does not raise the debt raising, the country would be “reverting into a depression.” Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) said he disagreed which prompted the MSNBC host to ask him if he had a degree in economics.

“Yes ma’am, I do. Highest honors,” Rep. Brooks responded.

According to his Congressional page: “Mo graduated from Duke University in three years with a double major in political science and economics, with highest honors in economics. In 1978, he graduated from the University of Alabama Law School.” - realclearpolitics

Never, ever ask a rhetorical question you don’t know the answer to.

One dumb babe.

The first thing one learns as a progressive tv propagandist is...never ask an enemy a question you don’t know the answer to.

Yes, and your Journalism “degree” is a sham and a joke compared to more legitimate areas of study.

I heard this on a local radio show in California and came to see if it was posted. I'm glad it's being shared far and wide.

Why doesn’t the “contessa” ask Obama, Pelosi or Reid if THEY have degrees in economics.

The dual standard employed by the mass of the public media has really reached the point of TOTAL insufferability.

These people MUST be countered SOMEHOW!!!!

Did she respond with “Don’t call me ma’am. Call me Ms Host. I worked hard to get here.”?

(I’d love to have seen her face after he answered!)

You don't need a degree in economics anyway, to understand debt/GDP, $1.5 Trillion/year deficit spending, and what has happened to Euro countries that went 120% debt/GDP. It's pretty simple stuff.

Even simpler, any household that manages its budget properly understands spending too much makes for headaches.

But geniuses like Contessa Brewer don't get that, along with half of Congress.

“Do you have a degree in economics?”

“Yes I do. Highest honors. And is your name by chance misspelled on the screen by one little vowel?

He should have also said, “And based on your stupid questions I can tell your degree is in communications.”

Contessa Brewer's has a degree in communications and a career in parroting Democrat Party talking points.

She is pretty much dumb as a stump! If she ever gets any brains she will be so embarrassed at her simple mindedness. I mean its barely Junior high caliber.

I heard it on a local Milwaukee radio show - Mark Belling.
Couldn’t find it posted before. She is very pretty, you can be a twit at MSNBC as long as you are pretty.

PMSLSD is really turning into the Comedy Channel this week. This is hilarious. I hope they keep the hits right on coming.

The only reason she still has a job in news is because the whole NBC network is filled with stupid people. She fits in. Don Imus kicked her off his show when he was there because she was even to dumb to read the news off a teleprompter. Priceless.
