    Ah Jon Stewart, my sweet destroying angel.

  2. SayItWithWookies says at 6:02 pm, March 13th, 2009

    Wow — if you had invested $30,000 when TheStreet.com had its IPO, you would know have a thousand bucks. That Jim Cramer is some sort of financial genius.

  3. El Pinche says at 6:03 pm, March 13th, 2009

    Oh, he’s just a comedian!!! The MSM news should bow its head in shame.

    And there will be more blood from this.

  4. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:09 pm, March 13th, 2009

    LEAVE CRAMER ALONE!!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!
    Lesson to be learned:
    DO NOT FUCK WITH JON STEWART

  5. Nerdalicious says at 6:11 pm, March 13th, 2009

    Jon comedianed crazy horn right off the air. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

  6. AngryBlakGuy says at 6:13 pm, March 13th, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: …the Liberal Rush?

  7. bitchincamaro says at 6:15 pm, March 13th, 2009

    But Cramer is redeemed because the market had an uptick this week. TOTAL VILIFICATION!

  8. Nerdalicious says at 6:22 pm, March 13th, 2009

    The GOP sacrifice Gods have spoken. Limbie & Ragen must not fail. Steele, start packin’.

  9. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:22 pm, March 13th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: My god wouldn’t that be awesome?

  10. lumpenprole says at 6:23 pm, March 13th, 2009

    That was so funny - the Street video. It gives me hope that Rush is hosting video somewhere that shows him calling his audience a bunch of chumps who just want something to get angry about so they can revel in their bigotry and violent fantasies. Or video of Nancy Grace heaving a sigh and explaining that some people are just morbid busybodies. Or Noam Chomsky doing whippettes with John Negroponte, giggling about how convenient it is that everyone thinks small planes really are that dangerous.

  11. itgetter says at 6:28 pm, March 13th, 2009

    Nerdalicious: Is it weird that I read that laugh in Chris Matthews’s voice? Or was that your fiendish goal all along?

  12. Fox n Fiends says at 6:33 pm, March 13th, 2009

    from Mad Money to Bad Money

  13. 2druk2phluq says at 6:37 pm, March 13th, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: It’ll never happen. Wonkette Radio - that has a nice ring to it. Given the proper financial incentive (upper five figures?) I think anyone here could do a better job than that porcine blowhard. I have a face for radio, but does anyone else?

  14. AnnieGetYourFun says at 6:47 pm, March 13th, 2009

    Seriously, for a guy who is, like, 5′4″, Stewart can really bring you to your knees. If he were a Republican, I’d insert a dirty joke about gay blow jobs HERE.

  15. Canuckledragger says at 6:52 pm, March 13th, 2009

    Well OF COURSE the chief exec resigned. He saw last night’s DS, like the rest of us, and quit in disgust because even HE can’t stand working in close quarters with such an irredeemably milquetoast PUSSY!

    Note to J. Cramer: When you disparage somebody for being a mere “comedian” and “entertainer,” you’d best be able to whip ‘em when you take ‘em on mano a mano. Otherwise you look like somebody who’s convinced of his own superiority, only to to be limpdickedly trounced by a mere “comedian” and “entertainer.”

    Who’s sorry now, asshole?

  16. loquaciousmusic says at 6:55 pm, March 13th, 2009

    2druk2phluq: Have you guys forgotten the radio commercial I made for Ed Hale’s website, HillaryClintonSupportersForJohnMcCain.com? I would TOTALLY go for a spot on Wonkette Radio!

  17. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:02 pm, March 13th, 2009

    Canuckledragger: Pwnage— Canuckistan style.
    2druk2phluq: I have a brain for daytime television. I”MMAA NACHERIL.

    bitchincamaro: I do not think that word means what you think it means…

  20. AngryBlakGuy says at 7:10 pm, March 13th, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: 2druk2phluq: …I can just imagine Harry Reid groveling at his feet, cant you?!

  21. If in twenty years Jon Stewart isn’t holding national public office, it’ll be because he doesn’t want it.

  22. DoctorCulturae says at 7:11 pm, March 13th, 2009

    Though it is not the same style as Stewart, Letterman is a similar pwnage broker.

    Fox n Fiends: Mad Money -> Bad Money ->No Money

    El Pinche: Indeed, more blood to be let.

    I’m looking forward to the WSJ artilcle: “Ethics: It’s not just a ploy to make more money.”

  23. DoctorCulturae says at 7:15 pm, March 13th, 2009

    qaf: 20? How about 2 or 4?

    My guess is he’ll be like Oprah, i.e. understanding he is a bigger influence outside the gov’t.

    Srsly, his performance right now easily bests most pols.

  24. MortSinclair says at 7:36 pm, March 13th, 2009

    History will confirm that Jon Stewart saved the Republic. No one else had the balls.

  25. hobospacejungle says at 7:44 pm, March 13th, 2009

    He has been in a television talk-show feud with The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart for much of this year, appearing Thursday night on Mr. Stewart’s Comedy Central show, where he was mocked for the better part of 20 minutes.

    As succinct a description of last night’s debacle as one could hope to find.

  26. President Beeblebrox says at 7:53 pm, March 13th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: EPIC FAIL:

    Redstone 1 Immelt/Hoffman Zeeeeero!

  28. schvitzatura says at 8:04 pm, March 13th, 2009

    This schpanking will go down for CNBC like Russia post-9/5/1905…a real game changer!

  29. moldilox says at 8:13 pm, March 13th, 2009

    we all owe jon a great debt– he made cramer our “butt boy”– to use the republitard idiom.

  30. smellyal8r says at 8:20 pm, March 13th, 2009

    Stewart did an OK job (I mean it’s not Murrow vs. McCarthy) but I do think it’s funny that Cramer was questioning the news judgement of Comedy Central (as somebody on here pointed out earlier this week). Cramer is an idiot who’s a hype master. CNBC is full of douchebags that were all hired by the King Douchebag Jack Welch who’s a flimflam artist of the highest order. For all of these skunks to sit around and wonder “how did all this happen” they may as well look in the mirror. Then, to blame the Obama administration for not getting the economy back on track quickly enough is the height of arrogance. I’m glad Stewart/Colbert will venture into the territory where Couric, Williams and Gibson fear to tread.

  31. WickedWitch says at 8:34 pm, March 13th, 2009

    Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha….

    Jon rules.

    How tall is he again? No matter — he’s TASTY.

  32. hobospacejungle says at 8:35 pm, March 13th, 2009

    smellyal8r: I’m glad Stewart/Colbert will venture into the territory where Couric, Williams and Gibson fear to tread.

    Or rather dare not tread. Especially Williams, who as Brokaw’s successor is GE’s ultimate butt boy. Brokaw broke new ground in sucking up to corporate masters, especially on election night 2000. He & Russert set the mold at NBC that others there dare not break. Which is why Brokaw hates Olbermann, because in contrast KO makes the NBC suck-up news division look like the craven cheerleaders for conservatism that they are.

  33. TeddyS says at 9:08 pm, March 13th, 2009

    Jon Stewart may never get another guest on his show. Still, I have hope that the Rick Santelli of CNBC would like to defend his rant about people caught in the foreclosure scam being “losers.” C’mon, Rick: You can take down a comedian.

  34. Bearbloke says at 9:19 pm, March 13th, 2009

    smellyal8r: Monkeyhawk: I think ‘Stewart vs Limbaugh’ would actually be the ‘Murrow vs McCarthy’ that all us hawt libtard Wonkette chicks are creaming for; Stewart’s performance last night was closer to Sen. Baker asking “What did the President [Nixon] know, and when did he know it?” doing the televised Watergate hearings… it’s not the stake through the bitter heart of King Douchebag du Jour, but the first bulls-eye demolition strike on the keystone that holds up the edifice of lies that our economy teeters on…

  35. smellyal8r says at 9:29 pm, March 13th, 2009

    hobospacejungle: The great thing is that Stewart used the old Russert trope of running tape of Cramer saying something, then allowing Cramer to comment on it, if he dared. I mean MTP’s printed word screens with the host reading are tiresome, but the “interview” Thursday night wasn’t some ethereal discussion about who said what when. It was hard facts. Why didn’t Lauer do the same thing when Cramer was on Today? Oh, that’s right…

  36. hobospacejungle says at 9:49 pm, March 13th, 2009

    TeddyS: I have hope that the Rick Santelli of CNBC would like to defend his rant

    Yeah, but Santelli’s rant has been shown to be the first strike leading up to that ridonculous Tea Party bullshit, financed by R. Mellon Scaife-type rich bitterz. He was just a tool pretending to be an independent voice fed up with the “losers” winning in the new Evil Obama World. I’m surprised he hasn’t been fired for using his job to be a tool for these tea-baggers.

  37. gliberal says at 10:50 pm, March 13th, 2009

    Cramer is a whore and a horse’s ass. If he wore a dress, Eliot Spitzer would fuck him. Or maybe just heels.

  38. gliberal says at 10:53 pm, March 13th, 2009

    How are all the booya hillbillies feeling right about now when their beloved hero is all but depantsed and run off to Rikers Island like the other lowlifes? Hey big fan of the show Jim.
    How do you like Bear Stearns now?

  39. President Beeblebrox: I admit to buying a lot of internet stocks back in the day, but theStreet.com? Seriously? How would this fundamentally change society, especially with a hyperventilating lunatic as the CEO. Plus he has shifty eyes.

    I guess the only credit I can give the guy is timing his IPO so well. Did he sell a good chunck of his shares at the offering to suckers?

    I wonder if the SEC has ever looked at this guy’s counter-intuitive stock picks and his options positions? Then again, you won’t get caught for insider trading if you consistently lose money.

  40. Scooter says at 12:48 am, March 14th, 2009

    Several of CNBC’s anchors missed work on Friday. Guess the humble pie didn’t agree with them.

  41. gurukalehuru says at 3:37 am, March 14th, 2009

    Who will go first - Steele or Cramer? I reckon they could just swap positions and absolutely no harm would come of it. In fact, hijinks would ensue.

  42. Cramer’s gone Gault. Now the world will forever be denied his stcok picking wizardry.

  43. El Vista says at 6:52 am, March 14th, 2009

    Ah, the feather-haired ladies of CNBC/MSNBC/NBC don’t act quite so feathery now, do they?

  44. gurukalehuru: Not hijinks. Shenanigans. I believe the word of the day is shenanigans.

  45. bitchincamaro says at 10:12 am, March 14th, 2009

    Lascauxcaveman: Thanks. *TOTAL VINDICATION*

    Now that I’m sober.

  46. MortSinclair: I’ve thought that, too.

  47. slinkimalinki says at 10:13 pm, March 15th, 2009

    bitchincamaro: your unconscious is strong. STRONG.

  48. Mad Farmer Manifest says at 11:56 am, March 16th, 2009

    WTF do they mean ‘mocked’? Stewart didn’t mock him in that interview. He chewed Cramer’s ass like he was a teenager that wrecked the car while drunk.
