Cramer started thestreet.com, right? Wasn't there a great scandal with that site early on? -- nm - Mop Mar 13, 09:18 2

I think, ultimately, Cramer and CNBC had to go on the Daily Show and take their medicine. Good for them for doing the right thing. -- nm - Mop Mar 13, 09:07 4
- I think, ultimately, that Paul Rudd is a terrible actor/comedian and should never be allowed on The Daily Show again. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 09:16 3
  - But he's purrrrty. -- nm - Mop Mar 13, 09:18 2
    - He's a disgrace. He thinks he can just merely show up and mumble pander through his movies and interviews. He's on my anti-laminated list. - Qale Mar 13, 09:19 1
      - kinky! -- nm - Mop Mar 13, 09:20

- uh, no. -- nm - Callisto Mar 13, 09:16
- Quiet, America! He's on to us! -- nm - Mop Mar 13, 09:15
- But then, as a boss, I wouldn't lean down to my direct report at a company party and point and say "I really want to fuck that girl"... - TFox Mar 13, 09:11 14
  - [deleted] 13
    - at least that would have a point. why is he telling me? - TFox Mar 13, 09:13 12
      - *shrug* He's wasted? Libido connected directly to voicebox, without ususal self-censoring filter. And you just happen to be nearby. -- nm - TaurusII Mar 13, 09:19 3
        
        yeah, i know, it was a rhetorical "why me?" type question, not a real "someone help me understand". I was not clear. -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 09:21 2
        
        so, you wanted Girl ST, not Guy ST? -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 09:22 1

        Yeah, this was what it was, but c'mon. Plus (mad overshare about this dude) - TFox Mar 13, 09:19 2

    - Better, thanks. I'm on Prilosec from the next month. -- nm - lileve Mar 13, 09:31
The "we're just a comedy show" is a Defense in Cheek... - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:44 48
- It's more a response to "Why don't you cover the news?" "Uh, because we're just a comedy show." - TWuG Mar 13, 09:05 1
  - As to your last...well... -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 09:17
- Like I wrote on B2...I only know Cramer as a cartoon already, but I thought last night was unfair. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 08:58 14
  - It only seems that way if that is all you watched...Cramer had been making the rounds of other tv shows lying and attacking this week. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coaliton Mar 13, 09:06
  - he got caught lying *in* the interview.. - Reagen Mar 13, 09:03 11
    - Just because we're all having fun seeing a bad guy get whats coming doesn't mean it was the right venue for justice. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 09:06 8
      - You probably felt bad for the emporer when the kid shouted that he wasn't wearing anything, too, huh? -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 09:08 4
        
        "And now, young Skywalker... you will die." (me: WOO!) -- nm - Mop Mar 13, 09:19
        
        No. But had the court jester who goes along with it all along been the one, then maybe. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 09:13 2
        
        That's the jester's role...to speak truth to power...in poems and insults - The Calico Cat Coaliton Mar 13, 09:18
        
        Well, it's not like Jon Stewart has exactly been enabling the media's systemic douchebaggery all this time, only to turn on Cramer last night. - znufrii Mar 13, 09:16
      - The court of public opinion is the only venue available. -- nm - TWuG Mar 13, 09:07 2
        
        I'm saying TDS wasn't the right venue for that. (As neither would Martha Stewart be.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 09:12 1
        
        But if TDS hadn't done this, who would have? I find the media treats itself with kid gloves for the most part -- nm - Roger More Mar 13, 09:13
    - "Roll 212." - TWuG Mar 13, 09:06 1
      - that was a kill shot. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 09:17
  - it's not meant to be "fair", it's meant to be true. -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 09:02
- I wasn't watching completely but I did feel somewhat sorry for Cramer - amoxy Mar 13, 08:51 1
  - After the clips of him admitting to manipulating the derivitive market and telling others how to do it, he'll be lucky if the SEC doesn't investigate - Trish Mar 13, 09:14
- I haven't seen Cramer's show (except his cameo in Iron Man). I'd probably feel sorry for him if I saw his TDS interview -- nm - Roger More Mar 13, 08:49 1
  - I thought he was on the DS once before... but maybe it was Colbert I saw him on. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 13, 09:00
- It's not like Cramer was a guest star on Big Bang Theory of something. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 13, 08:49
- I get the impression that Stewart doesn't want this role, but if no one's going to be doing it, he will. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 08:49 25
  - Fine, but I would argue that means he now has to wear the same responsiblity he wants the others to wear and show some consistency. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 08:54 20
    - I'm not sure what you mean by this. Anyone who watches even on a semi-regular basis can tell you that he's just as quick to point out idiocy by the - Trish Mar 13, 09:07 2
      - This isn't politics, left/right/whatever. It's a consistency on a guest by guest basis in terms of tone of interview. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 09:20 1
        
        Again, you totally missed the point. If the "regular" media is just going to cover it up, then somebody has to stand up and say "enough". - Trish Mar 13, 09:28
    - No, cause he's a comedian...his job is to make douchbags out to be douchebags, while laughing -- nm - The Calico Cat Coaliton Mar 13, 09:07
    - well in the broader sense, he has the responsibility not to use the kid gloves on Obama - Reagen Mar 13, 09:01 3
      - I'm leaving it on B2 and two boards of talk on this, but my final summary is that I don't think Jon exercises proper... - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 09:30
      - And if Rick Santelli had gone on the show like he was scheduled to, the big pussy, Cramer would'nt have had to gone on and take the brunt of it - amoxy Mar 13, 09:04 1
        
        "Wimp Ass Pu$$y" should go out on a date with "Dumb A$$ Trick". -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 09:05
    - Are you a regular watcher of the show or did you just watch last night cause you'd seen the media attention the Cramer interview was getting? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 13, 09:01 2
      - Goes thru fits and spurts. Watched most of last year, but took a break post-Christmas. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 09:09 1
        
        I guess I just look at the show differently then. I view it more as a news show with laughs. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 13, 09:20
    - there is no consistency... - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:55 8
      - I'm talking the tone of the Daily Show. Jim Cramer's hardly the greatest villian to ever grace the show's green room, yet Jon.... - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 09:05 5
        
        Most the "villians" on his show hadn't just trashed him all week -- nm - The Calico Cat Coaliton Mar 13, 09:14
        
        You seem to be hung up on this idea that the DS is just a "comedy" show, when really it isn't. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 13, 09:12 2
        
        There's nothing wrong with just wanting to be entertained :) -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 09:24
        
        It's kind of like when O'Reilly said that TDS/Colbert audiences were nothing but slackers and stoners, right after ratings sweeps. So, Stewart got - Trish Mar 13, 09:22
        
        not every interview needs the same technique. - Reagen Mar 13, 09:07
      - [deleted] 1
        
        err...there is no...inconsistency. - Mel Profit Mar 13, 09:19
  - I think that's right. I think they'd be happy to sit on the side lines, make their jokes, make a few points and stay out of the way. - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:51 3
    - "What me worry?" -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 08:59
    - Agree. What I really hope is that Stewart can get back to his "fart Jokes" like he said last night - amoxy Mar 13, 08:53 1

- So agreed. I know who I'm voting for; I don't know who will win. -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 08:40 8
  - Wait a minute...are we in Round 3 now? -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 08:46 6
    - We will be on Monday. I'm putting it on hold today; it is going to be too crazy for me to repost it frequently enough. -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 08:47 5
      - An...are the results of Round 2 up then? I'm checking now, but it takes a REALLY long time for this PC to download for some reason. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 08:48 4
        
        TFox posted them earlier: - JaxSean Mar 13, 08:52 [Backboard] 2
        
        Very cool. I have to say, I don't like that PE and NWA are squaring off before the Final 4. - Jim Mar 13, 09:01
        
        Yeah, I didn't put a new bracket on the wiki yet, but these are the winners. -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 08:53
