Jim Cramer Attacking Jon Stewart Again From a Safe Distance
Remember that kid in grammer school who would just constantly mumble a stream of shit about how tough he was and how he'd kick anybody's ass who looked at him wrong until finally one of the bigger kids would get sick of hearing it and beat him down just to shut him up?
And then the kid would apologize and cry so that everybody felt so sorry for him that they couldn't beat him up without feeling like a dick. But then as soon as they turned away, he'd start mumbling a stream of shit all over again?
I think Jim Cramer was that kid…
Appearing on one of CNBC's sister-networks and friendly media platform NBC, Cramer told Today Show host Meredith Vieira Thursday morning that Stewart was "naive and misleading" for laying so much of the blame of the financial crisis on poor reporting by financial reporters at CNBC.
Noted Vieira of the interview, "He was very tough on you. He was very tough on CNBC. He basically said that you guys had been cheerleaders for the financial bubble, that you had also allowed CEOs to come on the shows and essentially lie to the American public without really challenging them… Did he have a point?"
"I don't think so. I think it was naive and misleading to attack the media," Cramer responded. "CNBC, in particular, has been out front on this."
Just ignore him. Pretend you can't hear him and walk away. Believe me, being dismissed always hurt me worse than the beatings.
I mean, hurt him. Hurt the kid. That's what I meant.

Cramer is a symptom of the disease. And where do you start to treat a disease? You identify the symptoms and dig from there. Cramer had, and has, it coming, as do all of the other sycophantic slobs posing as news media in this country and around the world. It is about time someone stopped playing nice.
~A!
What a chickenshit douchebag. Seriously, what a pussy.
Nah, he's George Costanza with less financial knowledge
Oh man… Stewart is gonna evicerate Cramer for this. It's gonna be good.
"grammer school" not good.
You guys were worried that Bush was leaving?
The media that made Bush never left, and given how corporations work they never will. The talking heads and editors that closed their eyes on Iraq, disaster preparedness, and the economy and just parroted whatever the GOP told them deserve all the scorn that can be heaped upon them. Its called accountability, and Stewart's take down did just that.
Bless you comedy central incorporated a subsidiary of the viacomm corporation.
CNBC and the rest of the media should be drafted and sent to Iraq.
Anyone, and I mean anyone, could do Katie Couric's job.
What the Hell's wrong with Cramer? First the "N-word" and now this.
Remember that kid in grammar school who'd always misspell "grammar"? He writes for a living now. Isn't that ironic?
Seriously… while I agree with this post, I can't help but wince when I read the first sentence.
Last I heard, it was "grammar" school.
NOT "GRAMMER"
I HAVE NOTHING INTERESTING TO SAY OTHER THAN THAT. IN FACT, MOST CONTRIBUTIONS I MAKE TO SOCIETY ARE NOT MUCH MORE THAN PETTY SHIT LIKE THIS.
OH, I ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT MISSPELLINGS DESPITE THE FACT THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAD DONE SO ALREADY.
