Megyn Kelly to Kirsten Powers: ‘You Don’t Seem to Know What You’re Talking About’

The relevant quote comes at about the three-minute mark. Everybody else has already blogged this — I got it at Ace of Spades HQ — and I agree it might well be the Most Awesome 10 Minutes in Fox News History: Megyn’s one-upsmanship — “Have you read the testimony?” — is what sparks the fireworks.
