Stewart/Cramer Kerfuffle Continues
Jon Stewart's epic rant against CNBC and its anchors and commentators, including Jim Cramer, burned up the internet last week. Not surprisingly, there's been some fallout. The "Mad Money" host claims that Stewart took a clip out of context, purporting to show that Cramer was recommending investors buy Bear Stearns stock a week before the company went under. On the "Daily Show" last night Stewart conceded that may have been the case, except for one little thing. Cramer actually did recommend investors buy Bear Stearns stock two weeks before the company went under. Oops.
Cramer has his back up and is making the rounds defending his show and his reputation as a stocks swami. He was on the "Today" show this morning where he dismissed Stewart as just a "comedian." But he was asked about the Bear Stearns recommendation and he's forced to do some serious deflecting.

Cramer, Suze Orman, the whole lot are worthless. No one said out loud what was coming, if they knew anything at all. Jon Stewart is to be commended once again for speaking truth ... through comedy and satire!

Cramer would be better off laughing about the Jon Stewart stuff- he just looks like an ass trying to deny saying things that were captured on video.

The whole house of cards was collapsing and none of these genius's saw it comming? Do you find it strange that both Santelli and Cramer bailed out of their jobs in the financial sector giving up millions to go on TV to work for penunts? Those bastards saw it all collapsing and bailed out. I trust NO ONE who worked in the finacial sector.

Cramer should go on Jon Stewart's show and talk about their differing opinions.
As is...Cramer looks like a beaten man.
Wimps...like Santelli...can talk the talk...but, when called out on it...run away and hide.
BTW: it's amusing that Cramer refers to Stewart as being a "comedian"...when all Cramer is..is a SHRILL for Wall Street.
What's the difference ?

Stewart can fault Cramer, but even Warren Buffet misread what was going to happen to the stock market. B-H is down about 50%. Obama isn't helping things with his machine-gun approach to solving everything, but the financial problems. And, he should tell Nancy and Harry to take their omnibus bill and shove it, (but probably hasn't got the cajones)....!!

Hard to pick a favorite here. Both of them ride home in the clown car when the day is done.

I have always thought that Cramer is a bit strange. There is something about him that I do not trust. He comes across as a bully...like someone who believes that he is always correct.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Ever notice that when he is talking, and not hollering, his confidence doesn't seem as strong? It is a little weird.

Yes PCL! I find it hard to believe what he says... just this gut feeling thing. I guess that he comes across more as a wanna be entertainer, rather than someone with real information or opinions to share.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
