    You’d think after Stewart managed to effectively shit-can Crossfire and Tucker Carlson’s entire pathetic career these guys would learn not to go after him.

    Also, Cramer playing the puppy-dog faced victim is hi-larious.

    Seriously, Kramer…..Cry me a River……Come on buddy….pull up your socks…..blow your nose. There , There…..Did that mean Jonny Stewart….knock the crown off your little head? Did that mean, comedy man hurt your feelings? Stop….you makin me laugh here…..you’re too funny.

    and, Scarbourgh…..Let Kramer fight his own battles or he’ll never get a chance to toughin up. Show Biz is a rough game…you “Entertainer” types should know that by now. If you can’t play with the big boys without getting a puss face….you shouldn’t get on the field.

    I’m amused, but not surprised, by the adulation and admiration you guys show a 2 bit comic. Quite telling.

    The jig is up! joaquin has finally uncovered our tendency to find funny people doing funny things funny! Game over, man.

    Though if Stewart is a “2-bit comic”, I’m curious who joaquin might consider worth the full dollar. Someone whose name rhymes with Mary the Stable Guy perhaps?

    joaquin, you cannot be a real human being. No one is as stupid as you. It’s unpossible, I tells ya.

    Jon Stewart is one of the funniest, smartest guys on TV right now. He has a comedy show, but tackles news and goes after powerful people saying and doing idiotic things better than almost anyone. He has a sharp eye for hypocrisy. He makes fun of both sides of the aisle, despite undeniably being partisan. Getting back to Jaim’s comment – his dismantling of those assholes on Crossfire is one of the greatest things I have ever seen on television, ever.

    Now maybe you can tell us why we shouldn’t admire him. You fucking idiot.

    One man’s two-bit comic is another’s valuable political/social critic, I suppose.

    Brilliant.

    This is what happens when someone whose success is based on being taken seriously takes on someone whose stock in trade is entertainment — the entertainer almost always wins.

    Folks attacking Rush Limbaugh, take note. This is how you are being seen — like Cramer comes off here.

    Rush Limbaugh is a mere entertainer? Then why did RNC Chair Michael Steele correct his thought-crime against Chairman Rushbo?

    Hmm, your talking points are always lame Jay, but at least try some from 2009 instead of 2005 (Coulter was joking about Jews being future Christians! Rush was joking about, well, being a bigot! Amirite?)

    This is what happens when conservatism fails, more than anything else. This is what happens when chickenhawk apparatchiks like you, after receiving Socialist health-care to remain alive, realize they’ve got nothing left.

    ‘Kay, which one’s which?

    I do find it interesting, to say the least, that the entire NBC/GE network was put at Cramer’s disposal to defend him.
    That must be the “librul media” in action, I guess.

    I mean, you’re not suggesting anyone take Cramer’s show seriously, with all the sound effects and “Morning Zoo” gew-gaws, are you?

    Are you?

    Seen by whom, exactly? Dildos? Jackasses? Right-wing dipshits? “Dittoheads”? Oh noes!

    I seem to recall a similar evisceration of Mr. Limbaugh by the same Mr. Stewart just a few days ago. Did you miss that one? You could probably Google it if you did.

    What Jaytea (still) doesn’t understand is the whole basis for Limbaugh’s words being watched is that conservatives and the mainstream media don’t treat him like a carnival sideshow but as a thought leader. If conservatives treated Rush as just a circus freak we wouldn’t care, but instead they’ve put him up as – some might say the – top thinker on the right.

    Didn’t Rush Limbaugh interview Dick Cheney?

    Clearly the GOP leaders don’t think he’s merely entertainment.

    Despite Jim Cramer’s many appearances across the breadth of NBC programming lately, I think it has less to do with the GE family deciding to stick up for one of its own than with producers knowing that these sorts of spats get attention and, naturally, the ratings.

    I think Stewart is having Jim Cramer on this Thursday, so that should be fun television.

    Certainly not. And as others have noted, the head of the RNC was forced to apologize for calling Mr. Limbaugh an “entertainer.” Did Mr. Tea not catch that? It was in all the Internets.

    Oh, <a href=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/11/jim-cramer-shorting-stock_n_173824.htmlthis is awesome.

    this shocking 2006 interview Jim Cramer gave to TheStreet.com’s Aaron Task.

    In it, the host of Mad Money says he regularly manipulated the market when he ran his hedge fund. He calls it “a fun game, and it’s a lucrative game.” He suggests all hedge fund managers do the same. “No one else in the world would ever admit that, but I could care. I am not going to say it on TV,” he quips in the video.

    He also calls Wall Street Journal reporters “bozos” and says behaving illegally is okay because the SEC doesn’t understand it anyway.

    Here are some gems:

    -On manipulating the market: “A lot of times when I was short at my hedge fund, and I was positioned short, meaning I needed it down, I would create a level of activity before hand that could drive the futures,”

    -On falsely creating the impression a stock is down (what he calls “fomenting”): “You can’t foment. That’s a violation… But you do it anyway because the SEC doesn’t understand it.” He adds, “When you have six days and your company may be in doubt because you are down, I think it is really important to foment.”

    -On the truth: “What’s important when you are in that hedge fund mode is to not be doing anything that is remotely truthful, because the truth is so against your view – it is important to create a new truth to develop a fiction,” Cramer advises. “You can’t take any chances.”

    Yup, he’s an expert, all right.

    Stewart/Colbert/Cramer Nation,

    THE ORIGINAL FIGHT NIGHT!

    Here is a Promo Poster/Image I made for Thursday’s showdown! Hopefully Cramer or Stewart will see this and use it on Wednesday to promote the show!

    Ed: “Certainly not. And as others have noted, the head of the RNC was forced to apologize for calling Mr. Limbaugh an ‘entertainer.’ Did Mr. Tea not catch that? It was in all the Internets.”

    I keep going back and forth on whether J.G.Thayer and the rest of the Right-wingers here are morons or liars?

    I don’t remember anyone on the left that is ‘just an entertainer’ who could demand, and get, an apology from party leadership.
