Apparently Contessa Brewer from MSNBC did know anything about Mo Brooks when she decided to be a smart ass.

MSNBC To GOP Congressman: "Do You Have A Degree In Economics?"

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."

It was hilarious.  I watched and my first thought was "Oh Shit, she just didn't ask him......and then he answered.  He is my district and I checked him out when he was running and came across the little gem that he was a double major at Duke and was extremely smart.

What qualified her to know anything? He should have asked her that. Media types = style over substance. Dumbest people on earth.

I thought his response should have been,
".....with honors. See. I'm not just a pretty face either."
