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:
watch?v=5mtQyEd-zS4&feature=player_embedded
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.
Brewer's question seems especially interesting considering that economics is a Top 10 major for undergrads. Brewer, who does not have a degree in economics, quickly realized her gaffe and responded on Facebook after the interview:
I just love it when liberals stick their foot in their mouths on national TV, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
