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

Govt and the Fed are full of Ivy League economists and as a result we are in a deep deep financial mess. We need someone who knows how to balance a check book and run a company. The ruling crowd has failed and needs to be replaced.

On the banner of that screen shot, it says 58% support Obama's debt plan.

PLAN, but...but... didn't we just hear from the press sec that he does not have a plan???

She’s a decent looking woman, but she has a serious man-jaw. Supposedly, that type of masculinized woman is the most likely to cheat on her mate.

According to Wikipedia, Brewer has a B.S. in “Broadcast Journalism” from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications, awarded in 1996. It says she graduated magna cum laude. Lots of economics, mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering etc. are included in the discipline of “Broadcast Journalism”. This must be true because Contessa Brewer sounds so smart on TV.

She has a degree in “Communications”, basically, a degree on talking into a microphone and reading from a teleprompter.

Some journalist should have asked Obama this in one of the 2008 debates.

The Respnse was:
"Yes ma’am, I do. Highest honors,” Rep. Brooks responded.

The Better response would be:
"Yes ma’am, I do. Highest honors, and do you have a Journalism degree?

Wait for it...

Then you should go back to that college and get your money back.
