I thought this was excellent, and worth sharing:

That was fantastic television.

Everyone should see it.

It really was an excellent interview.  And by that I mean Jon Stewart tore Cramer apart.

I watched it on TV last night, but just watched the unedited interview online.  Stewart knew his stuff.  This is why I always give him so much credit.

Yes.  Incredible stuff.

I only wish he had unleashed that on a CEO of a bank and not some two bit reporter.  Now, no banker will go on his show...

I was getting busy with my wife last night, so missed this.

Thanks for the link, great Friday afternoon viewing.

agreed.  cramer was a soft target.  he couldn't snap back too much, it would have made him look mean and generally alienated his audience.  he also could have done a better job of defending himself.  less of his nasally whine would have been good, too.

  he also could have done a better job of defending himself. 

There was one point where Stewart showed a video and Cramer lowered his shoulders and looked so defeated...he just curled up into a ball.

I was expecting more from Cramer to be honest, I watched it last night before I went to the bar. I wasn't surprised by Stewart at all, I watch the show every night and he knows his stuff when it's time to get serious. Cramer seemed like he wasn't expecting it and was just bombarded, he could have stood up more but whatever. It was intense.
