CNBC's Jim Cramer Responds to Jon Stewart's Response to CNBC's Jim Cramer
CNBC's Mad Money host Jim Cramer and Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough are upset with Jon Stewart. Not just because he's been busy calling out Cramer and other NBC talking heads for their silly and/or embarrassing and/or stupid financial observations after their reporter Rick Santelli had a "Howard Beale moment" on the floor of the CME Group. Oh no. But because Cramer (and pretty much everyone who works at NBC) is a Democrat, and he's supposed to be on their side.
So, the appropriate response — at least as suggested by Joe Scarborough — is probably to follow Jon Stewart are around with a camera 24 hours a day and make fun of everything he does. Fair is fair, right?

Here's Cramer's self-defense op-ed.
Watch the latest offending clip from The Daily Show after the jump…

Shocker. Scarborough played TDS clip this morning ad nauseum, laughed, and pretty much folded to Jon's argument. My favorite part was when he analogized Jon to the Beatles and a question put to Paul once as to their music being bad. Paul simply replied, "because it is." Or something like that. Great defense Scarborough! Paint Jon Stewart with The Beatles Brush.
Good grief. Everybody — especially at MSNBC — should just stand down. If you're lucky enough to have your own TV show or otherwise be a celebrity, being skewered by comedians at any obvious opportunity is part of the small price you pay. Take your lumps and get over it, Cramer et al. The longer this story is in the news, the longer Stewart et al. are going to have fun with it!
Scarborough is just a sensitive little B$@CH! People in this country are having serious problems and he sits there and whines about people poking at his BLOATED EGO! SHUT UP YOU F@$%$#ING WUSS!
Comedy Central's INdecision 'Reduced-Fact Political News' says it all.
Jon Stewart's great, he's got a fun show, he's humorous, and he knows how to strike the right cord to get people riled up. However, Jim Cramer is a brilliant man, especially when it comes to economics and stocks.
I just can't see how people can take this stuff 'literally,' but I can see how most everyone enjoys The Daily Show.
All I can say about it is this: Booyah, Cramer!
[...] whose daughter who will be attending Williams next year, was on The Daily Show tonight, after some back-and-forth over the week. It all started when Rick Santelli of CNBC canceled on Stewart, causing the same [...]
wtf…Warren Buffett might still be right because his time frame is forever. Cramer you know shit about Warrens investment philosphy…
Stewart taking such easy cheapshots. I watch Cramer and have invested pension money starting Apr 07. Using the insight from Jim on growth, financial strength and valuation techniques. I have been averaging 20% from 07 to current. Investing wisely, and learning how the bad guys game the market.
Stewart was just too lazy to research more about Cramer's track record of educating the unwashed masses of wanna be traders, as well and, I believe influencing regulators and government (yeah they watch CNBC…Obama Daily briefing)
Also Stewart purposefully left out Santelli's intent to connect with his trading pit brethren on how their neighbors used their homes as piggy banks and pigged up on al the goodies to pretend to be rich.
Santelli was just saying doesn't that irresponsible behavior piss you off?
John:
Excellent Job. Give Cramer credit for coming on. I do enjoy jim's show and have low expectations. I like mostly the commentary and I do enjoy the humor. I like your humor too.
You are exactly right about the insanity of these people saying "we didn't see this coming." I work in manufacturing, and I could never connect the dots between the job drain and the housing and commercial building boom. I knew it was caused by easy money, and I knew it would blow up. I just didn't know it was my easy money and they had used my money to leverage up.
OK, now it is time for you to play fair. Congress encourages and enabled this train to build up steam. And alot of people borrowed way to much money.
I don't think you will chase them any more than cramer could fundamentally change his show and maintain an audience. you also are playing for an audience and yours won't like it if you say anything bad about Mr. Frank and others.
Anyway, great job. Still, Jim was way out in front compared to the rest of the network. I would love to see faber on your show. "the brain" has some splainin to do
[...] 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 [...]
On Friday's show (6/5) Cramer used the word "communism." Get informed. We are not heading toward "communist" socialism. Remember a guy who was promoting "nationalist" socialism" aka nazi? There's a big difference. Ask President Obama.
