Title: MSBNC's Contessa Brewer Sticks her Foot in her Mouth Again

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 without the bailout, the country would be in "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."

Actually Mo Brooks does not have a “degree in economics.” What he has is a BA from Duke. He may have majored in economics, which means he took a few undergraduate courses or maybe even a few graduate courses in economics, but that is not the same thing as getting an MA or a PhD in the topic. It certainly doesn’t make him an economist. The loony ideas he was expressing today would suggest otherwise

You obviously don't know what a "degree" is. Loser.

Getting a Bachelor's degree in biology does not make you a medical doctor and getting a Bachelor's degree in business administration or finance/accounting does not make you an "economist". But I guess for someone out of Alabama that is close enough for govt work.

He never said he was an economist. He said that he had a degree in economics.

You just can't comprehend what you read.

Again, I could write a computer program that could hold more intelligent conversations than we have with you.

There is no degree in economics at an undergrad level. He has a Bachelor's of Arts / Science degree.

gobsheit: Managerial Economics - LOL I guess the world needs shoe store managers, too.

Wow, nothing like letting your ignorance show...

It's essentially a "super finance" degree- all the foo-foo classes tossed out. Two years of econometrics. Two years of statistics. One semester of portfolio management (applied risk-management principles). A year of applied economics- where 90% of the time, the answer involves the sentence "take the derivative of"... [That's calculus for you artsy-fartsy degree-holders- I got my B.Sci. in one of the few areas of life where calc is actually used on a regular basis.)

I have three other degrees, and I'm half-way through my doctorate.

How does your G.E.D. compare?

You're a fucking moron, gobsheit. You demonstrate that daily.

And if Goober would have read the program description, he could have understood that if he was capable of understanding. He's not capable.

You must admit- his dull stupidity is quite amusing... it makes one wonder how someone could be so consistently wrong, and yet be proud of that fact...

LOL.

I think he simply refuses to accept the truth because he believes he already has it. I will not attack his honesty by making this statement; I will only say that he is honestly mistaken in his thinking and conviction.

If someone with a Bachelor's degree I interview claims he has an 'economics' degree I would show him the door. But you right wing dupes like to be fooled. See Bush and his fake cowboy ranch act.
