MSNBC hires only the best. We’re just not sure what it is they’re best at.
Contessa Brewer took on Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) on the debt ceiling. Contessa possibly assumed she was dealing with Mel Brooks when she challenged his qualifications.
Real Clear Politics has the play-by-play:
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.”
FYI, Ms. Brewer has a BA from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. According to Wikipedia, that is “the communications school at Syracuse University. It has programs in print and broadcast journalism; advertising; public relations; and television and film.” Apparently, no economics degrees are necessary when one’s a “journalist” repeating Democrat talking points.
Oh, yes, and does Barack Obama have an economics degree? Maybe someone can dig up his transcripts (we mean that literally as they seem to have been buried in one of the holes he’s constantly trying to dig out of) and look that up, along with proof of the “highest honors” that the media keeps insisting he received.
We won’t hold our breath waiting.
