Douche. Prick. Twat. Loser. Hope everyone who watches his show lost their fuckin shirts. Losers.

I don't think Jim Cramer deserves ALL that vile, but damn if it is fun to give him so much.

I disagree - the way he talks in those clips about engineering and manipulating panic on the street for the ideological and financial gain of a select few is tantamount to domestic terrorism. People are losing their life savings after being told by these guys that that was the way to save for the long term. Completely shameful.

That's not the same Jim Cramer that went off on the NBC channels. It's amazing what physically walking onto The Daily Show set will do to the fire in your belly. Stewart never raised his voice, never made a face, never attacked, but won on the sheer weight of his intelligence and honesty.

All I'm saying is that Cramer didn't personally collapse anything. He was a tool of the evil of greed, wittingly or unwittingly. That's bad, but he doesn't deserve ALL the blame.

On a side note, anyone wonder what was said after Jon Stewart cut in and said "Hmm.., that's an interesting place for a cut?"

KBK, I agree. I think Cramer's a nasty shill and a douche but he's not Bernie Madoff, least not as far as I'm aware.

Still, when the stock market is going up and you have a show where you brag about how much money you are making you should take your lumps when the market tries to limbo under lower bars every day.

Last night's show made me love Jon Stewart more than ever--because (although I know he has a staff to help) his show was well researched, he was well spoken and calm, and he made sure not to pounce on the regular people who happen to work on Wall Street.
His comment about his mother made the whole thing make more sense, too---he's got years left in his career to make more money, but she's 75.
And probably living in his house now.

How is a grown man supposed to get his wife aboard the smile train when his mom is on his couch, bitching about the evil, evil men of Wall Street? It kind of kills the moment....

And Jim Cramer was either coached, or dug back into his law school days and coached himself...

Arianna is always stealing our shit.

It's easier than using that big, heavy thesaurus!!!

I'm of two minds about Cramer and his ilk...

First of all, the Financial punditry are a bit like the sports punditry. They make predictions that usually are fairly false. If you went out and bet your life savings on the Raiders because Howie Long said he thinks they're going to win, you're a moron.

However, Cramer is a bit different. Consider him an ex-coach. The scenario I have envisioned is that Cramer walks back to the lockerroom, sees the starting QB get kicked in the head by a horse. He says to the Coach, "Wow, that going to make for a tough game." The Coach responds, "Nope, he'll play. Just a pregame ritual for him. He's feeling great."

Cramer then goes and reports that said QB is going to have a monster game today, specifically quoting the coach who said "He's feeling great". As he yells over the ambulances coming to retrieve the stricken hero, Cramer idiotically praises his toughness.

What he should have done is said "Hey, I just saw the QB get laid out by a horse. The coach says he's fine, but when I coached I lied about injuries all the time. "

The issue here is that Cramer should be in a position as an expert to cut through the BS, not mindlessly repeat it.
