HOLY SHIT! Krystal Ball just destroyed Sean Duffy re: Ryan's Medicare plan.

LOL! I hate to say it, it was one of the coolest smack-downs since Tweety slapped Pitaki upside his head. But then, given the players, it was kinda like watching Dora The Explorer beating up Elmo.

My bad!

Sean Duffy was starred in MTV's "The Real World." So that gives him authority to serve on the House Financial Services Committee and the Joint Economic Committee.

Krystal Marie Ball (born November 24, 1981)[1] is a businesswoman, certified public accountant, and a co-host on MSNBC's The Cycle. She was the Democratic Party nominee for United States Congress in Virginia's 1st congressional district in the 2010 election, losing to Republican Rob Wittman.

Sadly, midday MSNBC is pretty much off limits to me, so I'm not always sure who the different personalites are.

I'm actually back at my old job, but working from home. Which is cool, actually...and the tv was on in the next room. When I heard her start to fire up, I had to get up from my desk and go see what all the kerfuffle was. First time I've ever seen that Romper Room show.

I know what you're saying. I did some great anti-Duffy ads in the last election (well, obviously not great enough), but he fought. He had all his talking points, he was prepared. He seemed to really think Krystal was such a lightweight that he's have no problem. But she fought back, and she fought back hard.

Hey, we've ridiculed these new "kid" talking heads, but some of them are actually standing up.

It was telling that they gave A C Cupp the sign-off. She came on and told Duffy, "Sean, I feel your pain" after the beat-down.
