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.

If someone like you asked me for an interview, I'd say "piss off."

But the fact that you "interview" others, tells me quite a bit. So who's your boss? Rupert Murdoch?

If nothing else, thanks for confirming why you defend the MSM propaganda; you're one of them.

Asshole.

Since you are so "astute" about the world with your many flavors of baccalaureate "degrees" and as you advance towards your own hard-worked doctorate, I was curious if you COULD ELIMINATE THE POLITICAL RHETORIC IN YOUR GODDAMNED PERSONAL BANNER CLUTTERING UP THE THREADS AND YOUR OWN FUCKING POSTS.

Thank you, in advance.

I can eliminate graphics from my browsers but your silly SHIT is in ASCII. If I am offended the WHOLE FUCKING WORLD IS OFFENDED BY YOUR methods to smear your rubbish around this website.

You are offensive to me. How and where did you even receive an opportunity for acceptance as a doctoral candidate? From candy college for a dime?

Sack up, sonny.

If speaking the truth is silly to you, then why bother coming to this forum? Nobody forces you to show up here.

If I am offended the WHOLE FUCKING WORLD IS OFFENDED BY YOUR methods to smear your rubbish around this website.

So you think your views- twisted and distorted as they are- are representative of the entire WORLD?

Let's all have a piece of humble pie, shall we? LOL.

You are offensive to me.

Good. I enjoy tormenting those who are, shall we say, "reality-challenged?" LOL.

How and where did you even receive an opportunity for acceptance as a doctoral candidate? From candy college for a dime?

LOL. I wasn't just given "an opportunity for acceptance..." They ASKED me to attend their program. Oh, and my class is quite small, and includes a lot of "heavy hitters." They don't have room for slouches... [Read that as: "They're probably NOT going to call you, bucky..."]

I know, someone as... "challenged" as yourself, finds such a concept as being invited to attend a Doctoral program so out of the range of experience, as to be an alien concept... [Then again, I doubt you've any experience with anything I've mentioned, so your laughter is based on ignorance.]

The facts are as I have presented them.

Were I so inclined, I could easily prove them to you- same as the proof I presented for my Bach.Sci. degree, HERE, and proving gobsheit to be a lying sack of sh!t. Easy-peasy...

But let's be realistic; you're just another bimbo on a forum. I'll not sacrifice my privacy for you.
