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?"
Related Videos | expand

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."

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
