.....and btw, I've seen Cramer interviewed on other news shows before, Chris Matthews likes having him on too. And I actually like the guy, he comes across as a credible authority of the subject.
Anyway, tonight's Daily Show interview was unlike any other Cramer segment I've
ever seen!! Basically he just sat there as if he was being lectured by his
high school Principal!
At least he was willing to listen and I think Jon also made some excellent
points! His first being that CNBC should not be promoting themselves as the
experts when none of them were helpful in warning people about this catastrophe!

Subject: {Dawgs/Dittos} Brawl Street: Stewart vs Cramer
if you haven't been following this, Jim Cramer and Jon Stewart have been
having a feud all week. Tonight he appeared on The Daily Show and it was a
good one!!
It's currently at Crooks & Liars but Comedy Central has a habit of not
allowing their videos to be shown on other websites. So in case the Crooks &
Liars link doesn't work, you can probably see it at

Jon Stewart creams Jim Cramer on the Daily Show

Jon Stewart made Jim Cramer look like a wounded puppy tonight as the CNBC
host joined The Daily Show after a full week of back-and-forth.
It all started when Cramer got perturbed by a segment TDS did on CNBC's
financial network (Jon Stewart Eviscerates CNBC and Rick Santelli ).
He was so mad that he showed up on a bunch of NBC shows crying about the way
he was portrayed. Stewart really just said what all of America wanted to say to
Wall Street: F*&K You!
Tonight we had the big face-off, the heavyweight bout, the Super Bowl
square-off between CNBC's Jim Cramer and Comedy Central's Jon Stewart. Cramer
was especially upset about being included in a segment TDS produced on the
horrible and almost criminal reporting CNBC has been airing as THE go-to
business network after CNBC's Rick Santelli attacked average working-class
people who got caught up in the sub-prime mortgage crisis. Santelli dubbed them
as "losers." Well, the only loser tonight was Cramer and CNBC.
Jim basically sat there, starry-eyed like a lost puppy, and was virtually
silent throughout the three-segment show featuring him. He basically waved the
white flag and said, "You got me."
Comedy Central had to edit out eight minutes of video to accommodate the show
format, and it will be available on their website tomorrow.
Stewart's point was that Wall Street got fat off of all our pension plans,
401K's and long-term investments, while the "Fast Money" crowd cashed in our
long-term investments -- and CNBC was complicit in the entire gambit...
I wonder if Rick Santelli will show his face on Stewart's set? Highly
unlikely.
Here's more: Stewart hammers Cramer on 'The Daily Show'
Jon Stewart hammered Jim Cramer and his network, CNBC, in their anticipated
face-off on "The Daily Show," repeatedly chastising the "Mad Money" host for
putting entertainment above journalism.
"I understand that you want to make finance entertaining, but it's not a
... game," Stewart told Cramer, adding in an expletive during the show's
Thursday taping. The episode was scheduled to air at 11 p.m. EDT on Comedy
Central Cramer insisted he was devoted to revealing corporate "shenanigans," to
which Stewart retorted: "It's easy to get on this after the fact."
At one point, Cramer sounded the reformed sinner, responding to Stewart's
plea for more levelheaded, honest commentary: "How about I try that?" said
Cramer. "I'll do that."
By the end, the two-segment interview went far beyond its allotted time.
Comedy Central said the on-air version would be cut by about eight minutes,
though the entire interview would be available unedited on ComedyCentral.com on
Friday.
