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."

To: mininggold, jwpegler (#18) A Bachelor of Science degree in Economics program focuses careers in business management, the public sector, academics, and the professions. A B.S. degree majoring in economics is especially appropriate for students intending to pursue advanced degrees in the social sciences and in professional schools of management, law, and public administration, thusly, a B.S. in economics is a glorified "store manager' diploma.

To: Godwinson, lucysmom, jwpegler, Gatlin (#41) The congressman is not a an economist the way Joe the plumber is not a licensed plumber. A couple of points here for Godwinson and lucysmom and any other Democrat 'progressives'. First, the congress critter didn't say he was an economist. He said he had a degree which has been established he can say without contradiction except by people like you who give us living breathing Democrats a very bad reputation for being insulting, condescending, arrogant, self- appointed 'experts'. Second, I have several 'degrees' not one of which actually describes my 'occupation'...and in spite of having attended the LSE as is common for those of us fortunate enough to have served our country abroad, I know I know less about economics than the congressman displayed in his dialogue with Ms. Brewster. Third, you two have an awful reputation for failing to respond to legitimate inquiries when your statements are clearly out of line and once again bring my side of the left/right divide into disrepute. Fourth, it is too hot and uncomfortable to spend too much time beating down a dead ringer for an insipid twit, so go off somewhere to sulk and remove the temptation. P.S. Direct me to Mz. Brewster's cv if you will. harrowup  posted on  2011-07-21   15:37:06 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #43.
