Stewart on Cramer

4:36 PM Manny: Yo

4:37 PM me: yo dude

Manny: Buy bear sterns!

me: lol

4:38 PM was he on daily show last night?

or is that tonight?

Manny: I've decided to root for jim cramer

Last night

me: ha

Manny: Check the interwebs

me: how was it

?

I will

Manny: They're all a-twitter

Stewart sonned him

me: that's not surprising

4:39 PM Manny: But, a la john mccain, expectations were low for cramer

Yes

me: ah yes, the low expectations on a moron

Manny: Cramer at least knew to act sorry

His idiot colleagues still pretend to be journalists on tv

4:40 PM I think duncan black posted it

4:41 PM me: He did, it's about halfway down the page: http://www.eschatonblog.com/

11:20 AM me: so of course they're talking about the daily show on meet the press. Jon Stewart is this week's American hero! (Award presented to any public figure who during the course of the week shows her/him self to NOT BE A MORON)

Manny: why do you watch that crud?

Do the people on meet the press seem like they know anything?

11:21 AM these are the people who brought us CNBC in the first place, not to mention the American Heroicc Adventurous Land War in the Fertile Crescent TM

11:23 AM me: I watch it out of some sort of sick obsession with the horrible.

Manny: like the Family Circus

me: exactly!

11:24 AM Manny: Is General Electric behind the Family Circus too? A truly independant media would answer these questions

11:27 AM me: these and more

11:30 AM

Manny: AIG: $100 million in bonus to the financial products division today

11:36 AM you know, for the people who bankrupted the economy

7 minutes

11:43 AM me: right. they deserve money. What you don't appreciate is that ruining everybody's lives is really really hard work. In order for AIG to attract the high level, negatively advantaged executives they need, they have to pay out huge bonuses.
Did you watch all of the episodes leading up to the showdown? The clips stewart showed are really priceless. http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=220252&title=cnbc-gives-financial-advice
