Last night Jim Cramer made the classic mistake of thinking Jon Stewart was just "some comedian". He didn't seem to understand that Stewart might be the best interviewer of our time. This was both painful and joyous to watch. I have put up the extended clips so we can all see the stuff that didn't make it on Tee Vee last night. David Gregory should take notes on how to actually conduct an interview. Warning for language but this is total unadulterated AWESOME SAUCE!
Cramer should be doing two things today. One he should be firing which ever publicist told him to go on the show acting all apologetic. Two he better find a good lawyer. I will bet there won't be another CNBC guy making any more rants any time soon. Notice that Rick Santelli is now MIA. Last night there was a lot of buzz about how personal it seemed for Jon Stewart. Well in the unedited final clip we finally see that his 75 year old mother lost a lot in the market because she listened to clowns like Jim Cramer. If there is anybody in America representing the common man it isn't Rick Santelli or Cramer. Its Jon Stewart and thats why smart people watch him and enjoy his show. Thats the REAL face of populous rage and Wall Street would do well to remember that.

I didn't know about his mom. A bigger deal should be made out of that, because some people are already on their "Where does Jon Stewart get off?" horse.
ReplyDeleteMe personally I wish more journalists invited that kind of criticism
