Among the rabid lefties MSNBC inflicts on their viewers is the goofily-named Contessa Brewer.

She’s hot. She’s also not all that smart, but that never stops her.

And today, she went after the debt-limit issue with Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), who graduated from Duke in three years with a double major in political science and economics, with highest honors in economics, before he got his law degree at the University of Alabama.

And Brooks absolutely ate her alive.

It was so bad that she got frustrated when he disagreed with her assertion that we were going into a depression if Obama didn’t blow a trillion dollars on his stimulus, and tried to big-boy him by asking if he had an econ degree.

Hilarity ensued.

Scuse me, Miz Contessa? Where’d you get your economics degree?

Brooks was too much of a gentleman to ask that question. He didn’t have to. See how she started stuttering and mumbling before using Ben Bernanke in her appeal to authority (as though people throughout the political spectrum don’t think Bernanke might be the worst idiot up there)?

Next time, do some research into the people you’re trying to debate, Contessa. You’ll look like less of a dunce that way.
