AL Congressman "Put Down" MSNBC

MSNBC Anchor
Mockingly Asks GOP Congressman If He Has ‘Degree In Economics’… Turns Out He
Does!

We blogged earlier today on
the heated discussion between MSNBC anchor Contessa Brewer and Alabama GOP
Congressman Rep. Mo Brooks. In case you missed it, when speaking about
President Obama’s spending and stimulus decisions in the first year of his Presidency,
the heated interview climaxed with this back and forth:

Brewer: "We were looking at going–reverting a
depression at that point. Everyone, the Fed Chairman–  "

Rep. Brooks: "Well I disagree we were going into a
depression, but go ahead."

Brewer: "Do you have a degree in economics?"

Rep. Brooks: "Yes ma’am I do, highest honors."

Rep. Brooks official bio says that the Congressman graduated
from Duke University in three years with a double major in political science
and economics, with highest honors in economics. After Duke, Rep. Brooks
graduated from the University of Alabama Law School in 1978.
