Contessa Brewer, proving once again she is the stupidest person on TV:

Mo Brooks, R-Al
Brooks was born in 1954 in Charleston, South Carolina, and moved to Huntsville, Alabama, in 1963. His father, Jack Brooks, was raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and worked as an electrical engineer before retiring from Redstone Arsenal's Metrology Center. His mother, Betty Brooks, taught economics and government for over 20 years at Lee High School. They still live in Madison County, Alabama.
Brooks graduated from Grissom High School in 1972. He graduated from Duke University in three years with a double major in political science and economics (highest honors in economics). Brooks later graduated from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1978.

Funny stuff right here. Two master minds square off, Contessa Brewer Vs. Tommy Chong.
It's like watching a row boat race and they each have only one oar. I haven't yet decided which one won.

Since Brewer made an issue out of having an economics degree before engaging in economics debates, she must have a doctorate in the subject herself, right? Not exactly. According to her Wikipedia entry, Brewer has a baccalaureate in broadcast journalism (magna cum laude). Apparently they didn’t teach interviewing skills at Syracuse, or logic either, as a requisite for the degree.
As it happens, I don’t have a degree in economics (or journalism), either. I think that it’s entirely possible that the 2008 collapse could have triggered a deflationary spiral that would have created a depression instead of a sharp recession absent the interventions in the fall of that year; it’s at least an arguable point. I don’t have an issue with Brewer discussing economics without a degree, except that she doesn’t seem sharp enough to grasp the issues on her own — as demonstrated by demanding a level of expertise for the debate that she herself doesn’t meet.
I know, I know what about the context right? The first clip was just for anyone who is as lazy as me when trolling the web. In the full seven minute interview MSNBC does not really come off quite that bad. In fact, they come off just a little bit worse:

Aside from the ill advised question though, Brewer does not come off as bad as the usual suspects. At least not mean. Just a bit reflexive on the talking points and less than bright.

I think Ann Coulter (IIRC) had it right when she said that anyone in the media who calls ANYONE stupid for any reason should be compelled to have, depending on the medium they're in, their SAT/ACT scores and college GPA in the by-line or under their name on the television.

WHAT? You expect the news media to show more proof of smarts than the president? Pease and praise be upon the great wise ONE.

As a interviewer, she should have known his background before he even came on air.
Nice way to start the morning.
