I didn't watch the whole interview between Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer. I intended to, really. But I was watching at Huffington Post and they have some kind of periodic update of their page that happens automatically. So I'm a few minutes into it and the update came, wiping out the video. Nice!
I never got back to it. And now it's all over. Plus, as great as Jon Stewart is, I think I got the gist of it in those few minutes. He shamed Cramer and that's the message. CNBC was in cahoots with the wrong people, not looking out for their viewers' interests.
As for myself, I don't watch CNBC anyway, so I won't be leaving it. I've seen Cramer on a few shows, like on Hardball. I thought he was supposed to be a good guy. I was a little put off by him for being over critical of President Obama's plans. But that's no big deal. Now we find out though. He's the one with the shady history and presentations.
Good for Jon Stewart. Hopefully CNBC will change their sleazy ways.

Stimulus!
Pass the stimulus bill already! That has to be a drag, being in the Senate, with their idiotic rules. I swear, if we had 99 Democrats and just one bedraggled Republican, somehow that lone guy would be able to bring the place to a screeching halt.
How bad does it have to get in this country, though, before the Republicans think we ought to do something about it. If they walked by their own home and saw it on fire, would they call the fire department? Or would they debate it for a couple weeks while it burnt? A couple weeks would only be a conservative estimate.
And these are the same guys who bent over backwards for that scoundrel, George Bush. He was running the Constitution through a shredder and they stood up and saluted. But now, suddenly with a glimpse of possible partisan success by dragging the entire country down, they decide it's time to examine carefully every little nitpicking thing.
I not only hope things get better. Everyone should wish that. But I hope the voters reward the Republicans for their obstructionism in 2010, making the third time the charm.
