The Top 3 Smackdowns For 2009

There were plenty of epic smackdowns this year. But these top 3 selections are both stinging and short, making them truly deserving of extra praise and attention.

3) President Obama giving CNN's Ed Henry a stinging one about patience and rational thinking from a President after Henry annoying asked "why his reaction to AIG bonuses" wasn't faster. Oh, this was a great one from March:


2) Unexpectedly, Harry Reid labeling David Broder as a guy retired who writes a column once in a while was so stinging and unexpected that it truly earned itself as a strong runner up (From the :22 mark).

This moment from over a month ago will certainly be in good cheer by those who can't stand Broder, even if they also aren't part of Harry Reid's fan club.

1) And the number one smackdown for me, for this entire year, goes to Debbie Stabenow and her brilliant humbling of the misogynist that is Jon Kyl. It was certainly a moment to behold, as Kyl was arguing against insurance companies providing maternity care to counter Stabenow hopefully that maternity care was given.

While Kyl was on his "I don't care for women" type rant, here is the great response back that Stabenow gave him back:

Oh, was it a brilliant one.

And those for me are your three great smackdowns for this entire year.
