1. "Discusses?" No, he narrates
Edited on Wed Mar-11-09 01:23 PM by rocktivity
and plays it so straight down the middle he doesn't even mention that CNBC is an afilliate of MSNBC, or that Cramer has sought asylum on NBC shows. At least Keith apologized to his "cousins" at CNBC before going after Rick Santelli.

3. I think he did
At the beginning of the piece, I think he did say CNBC was a sister station....just to clarify, unless I heard wrong, which could easily be the case. :)

12. He did say "sister network." I stand corrected.
But the rest of my criticism still stands.

4. Crammer listed as a guest for Thursday night?
Now that should be interesting. Looks like Jim is between a rock and a hard place as I'm guessing that not showing, like Santelli did, would not be a good move at this point.

6. I think Cramer will cancel! Or CNBC will force him to cancel.

7. The bottom line is quite simple: Cramer fucked up HUGE.
And he fucked up for the very reason he stated: Stewart is a satirist. You do not complain when you are the muse of the satirist because you instantly provide more material.

The best advice for Cramer would be to shut the hell up. Stewart will not be "proven wrong" or shamed by any of Cramer's protests. Cramer risks his career by continuing this stupid episode.

11. Yes, "selling in October" - a full two weeks MINIMUM after Lehman collapsed
Yeah, you really need to have gone to Wharton to have figured that one out!!!!

Cramer's just stupid and egotistical enough to walk into the buzz saw, and then to just keep on walking.

Putz. Tout. Pimp. Fuck Cramer.
