OH RIGHT EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE DAILY SHOW VS. CNBC: We really don’t think too much about Jim Cramer — if you’re making investment decisions based on some evening teevee show featuring a vulgar clown stomping around a New Jersey soundstage, you’re sort of beyond help. But, Daily Show comic Jon Stewart decided to let this guy have it, we guess (can’t find the video), and here is your Open Thread, just go nuts.
Stewart is to the Dems as Limbaugh is to the GOP.
Don’t cross him.
Cramer??! SELL!!!!
bummer. i’m on the left coast & have basic cable. won’t be able to watch this until you guys post the video. god, i hope cramer wins! it IS a war isn’t it? ain’t I supposed to root for somebody?
cramer sounds close to gator, so that’s what i’m going with…….
dougbob: As a fellow Leftist, I must say that I’m also gleefully awaiting Cramer’s verbal beatdown… oh, and that smashtheduck: is a dick…
Does your snark know no bounds!
Woo! I posted early enough that someone will see my words!! Wooo!!!
P.S. Cramer’s a douche.

Kramer called Jon every name in the book on all the nbc shows, then recoiled into a drooling limbie please forgive me wank on daily show. Kramer had accused Jon of being a comedian on the nbc shows, in a tone that made me want to take a shower in lysol. My interpretation.
Jon Stewart = Mark Twain
Kramer = Bozo the Clown in a class with his admitted buds, madoff with everyone’s money, thain, paulson, stanford, wail street, their ilk, & the rest of the shrub administration of theives & skullduggery. “you’re welcome, america”.
Dude wears a short-sleeve shirt with a tie. Curtis Sliwa has more credibility than Cramer.
Pwnage futures are limit up!
Jebus, Stewart ripped Cramer a new one. Or five. The wife and I just sat in awe watching this thing. Why does Cramer always sound like he’s about to bust down crying like a bitch?
Nerdalicious: I think of Stewart as Carlin with social skills.
Peak Wingnut? Dr Orly Taitz and commenters prove otherwise, Sirruh!!:

I read what happened before it aired. Some HuffPo writer had advance details on the video Stewart showed during the episode. After commenting it occurred to me that the comment would be 1 of several million, and was therefore conformist, reactionary and lowbrow. So I flagellated myself with a copy of Being and Nothingness in order to purge the common thoughts from my media affected brain.
Behold the transformation:
“Jon Stewart was funny when he killed Jim Cramer! That was funny! But painful too!”
became
“We are all earthworms struggling to cross a road of hot black asphalt, doomed to become dry carbon based threads flattened by the vehicles of time’s endless progresion.”
When will Jon Stewart have Miss Cleo on?
htnacaleoc:
Agreed. Jon is much, much more & better than the jokey, brainless “comedian” Kramer accused Jon of being on all the shows including on Joe Scarbourough the Whiner & Meeeeka the valium sipping table lamp show. Kramer was projecting his own idoicy on Jon. Where’s Freud when you need him.
TELEPROMPTER!!!11!1!

“Epic Takedown” is a well worn phrase, but no less delightful to use one more time in this particular instance. Also, the lag on many political nerd sites is palpable. Jon Stewart broke the Internet!
Tonight was something, er, different. There’s been times in the past where Stewart has had some hot button guest on and there’s all this hype and then the interview segment kinda fizzled into lameness. Tonight, however, the whole show was pretty much Cramer gettin’ his ass kicked left and right and taking it.
Now, the thing about this Jim “Mad Money” “Boo-Yaw!” Cramer guy is, is he’s got like shit-trillions of dollars stashed away somewhere and he’ll play whatever game you want to because it doesn’t matter because he’ll still find away to make money off it. That’s the way he is. But he did look like a stammering moron puss-hole retard tonight, and I’ll take that.
Brutal.
Stewart kicked Kramer in his truck nutz.
memzilla: Heh … let us see what tomorrow may bring.
Wowza. I already wanted to screw Jon Stewart, but now I, umm…want to do it way more.
Stewart is as much of a hero as Colbert became after giving his speech at the White House Press Corp dinner a couple of years ago; Stewart’s blasting of Cramer wasn’t really about Cramer. It was about letting the whole financial industry know that they aren’t fooling too many Americans; we know they’re lying criminal scumbags who can’t cover themselves all that well.
Not that it wasn’t fun to see Stewart cut Cramer to little pieces. I thought Cramer was about to offer his body up for Stewart to use if he pleased the loudmouth was groveling so hard last night…

Hey, people who make money on commission never suffer whether they’re buying or selling. I like how they look all anguished for the WSJ pics, though: Waah waah waah, everybody lost money today but me.
Also, anybody notice how the Dow’s been up three days in a row (yesterday was just about flat, but if it had been down three points nobody would’ve made an exception for that either) and the folks who were blaming the last nine months’ downturn on Obama don’t seem to be giving him the credit for the past three days? I guess it’s live by the sword, die by the down-stuffed pillow for the rich bastards, huh?
denver_80203: Denver is to the West as feelatio is to buttseks.
Lemur: Ahh but if Cramer should lose it completely, how we would know?
The fundamentals of the economy are strong.
Voyou Charmant: Ho.Lee.Fuck. When Jon Fucking Stewart exposes the big corporations’ manipulation of the market for what it is, that is a fucking disgrace. And no dishonor to Stewart, but I’m sure he feels like the circus clown who catches the baby falling out of the burning building — it absolutely shouldn’t be him who does this great service to us.
And BTW, if Cramer has a job after today — rather than, say, being indicted along with his producers — then CNBC should just fucking shut down. Whoever still watches it and even believes its Head-On commercials should qualify as a certifiable moron.
Jon Stewart makes me all tingly.
I would like to see him Jello wrestle Anderson Cooper.
Woah, Ken, you are so OVER IT it’s like you’re some kind of Bob Dylan from the past hanging out in the future and everyone’s like, “dude your shit is awesome” and you’re all, “yeah, whatever” and then everyone is like “holy shit this guy is so over it, he’s fucking awesome” and you’re all just cold relaxing on everyone’s asses like its no big deal.
Remember that time when John Stewart was like, look I’m popular and I’m gonna usurp this cable teevee channel’s credibility into my satirical news show during sweeps week, and Jim Cramer was all I got lucky and shit and I wear a diaper, and my teevee channel is like a blog, except I have to wear makeup (for the cameras, everybody pretty much has to) but I also somehow have to defend it, which I think is my fault? And then John Stewart was nicer to me than he had to be? And then I did what I had to do to not get fired? Because it’s a receptionpression? And when people admit they have stocks, they look like assholes?
Well, guess what? 9/11 was orchestrated by the US govinment. Barrack Obama gave Rihanna herpes and beat eight babies Angelina Jolie-face High School Musical off the hook Larry David Steele Idaho South Carolina hobos, also. Love, Dave Denby, the end, also.
This is all well and good, but it still doesn’t compare with Robert Smigel’s “Conspiracy Theory Rock.”

Welcome to ‘Merica.
TimeCubist: Vestigial conscience of some sort, I believe — compare with Kudlow, who really is a total creep.
Win for Stewart! Oh yeah, and Cramer’s a total douche!
Can we please not call these “open threads” it makes me feel very dirty, like going to Confluence or Kos or something.
