And yet she foolishly tried to call out the person she was interviewing without knowing his background..

Exactly. I'd guess that'd be one of the first rules taught in Broadcast Journalism 101.

It doesn't show the whole clip so I don't know if they got pretty testy with each other beforehand. But she got mighty uppity and defensive when all he said was a very tame "I disagree we would've gone into a Depression." After he answered affirmatively about his Economics degree, he could've easily went for the home run by turning the same question around to her, but he stayed above the fray and didn't.

I don't care about the ideology of Brewer or if was Fox or MSNBC. Just watching some vapid, blathering opinionhead's zinger backfire on her was entertaining to watch.

But I'm always amazed that journalists think they know something.

And she thinks she has a degree in Economics.

Every SU grad just cringed at her stupidity.

What was funnier was when Rep. Brooks came back on later with Al Sharpton and got his hat handed to him. But I do admire the guy for standing up for what he believes in, even if it is sheer idiocy.

What amazes me about that is that anyone in the 21st century would give Al Sparpton the time of day.

Does every liberal not know that when in a hole stop digging? Sharpton will attract a few uneducated blacks but whatever educated audience MSNBC has left will leave.

MSNBC is about making money. They don't allow anything but the most tamest of the left on air.

I'm linking back to this the next time you start calling people morons. Odds are, it'll be your next post.

Really? TV is all about sensationalism and conspiracy theorists. Are you that blind to the left to see that?

Using the grammar of a 5th grader.

If something is the tamest then it's the reached the highest ranking in that regard. So saying that something is the most tamest makes no sense, as only 1 item can be the most.

I am curious what her response would have been even if he did not have an econ degree.

"Well...neither do I, but I read where some person who did have an economics degree said we were headed for a depression, so there!"
