Well at the 1:50 mark, Scarborough goes "No, he's not a comedian. He's an ideologue."

I'll say this I think Mr. Cramer is an entertainer. He got my coverage universe generally right but when he was wrong he was spectacularly wrong. He's not fond of equity analysts. He thinks we're over paid. Ha ha ha. How much does he make?

Barron's Magazine a few years ago highlighted The Cramer Effect (& Defect). The article said viewers who follow Jim Cramer's stock picks from his show are more than likely to lose money in the long run. And that was in 2007. You can imagine now.

Of the stocks I covered, Cramer went bullish on Whole Foods as analysts turned bearish. He likes to be contrarian. He was spectacularly wrong.

Damn. I must be getting old.

If Stewart is just a comedian, then Cramer is just a clown.

Stewart just ripped into Cramer and CNBC again tonight.  If Cramer isn't careful, Mad Money might go the way of Crossfire.

I wouldn't take his advice but I think he's an entertaining guy.  Stewart rubbed his nose in it.  Few people would have enjoyed that, deserved or not.

They'll hash it out and it'll be okay between 'em.

I want them to continue to talk. Just more material.

John Stewart would call himself a comedian.

Jim Cramer, for all his faults (and there are many of them), is a fan of The Daily Show, and wanted to steer the conversation away from simply bashing Stewart.

In the end, Stewart's goal is making people laugh (and the Republicans-- and Cramer-- offer up far more material than the Democrats)

He's just comedian.

So basically when Jon smugly shrugs his shoulders and says "I'm just a comedian," and when Cramer calls him a comedian it's two different things I guess.

The sad fact is that Stewart could have picked any number of media outlets/talking heads and the same facts would be true.  The days of "confronting the powerful" by the MSM is dead and gone.  That's the ultimate shame here.
