I've heard the now famous Jim Cramer/ Jon Stewart interview referred to as, a beating, a smackdown, devastation and partisan hackery, altough that last one was from Tucker Carlson(who still isn't wearing his bowite, huh).
I guess most of those descriptions can work, the way that the word awesome can be used nowadays to refer to everything from the nature of the universe to Doritos. I thought the interview was more an intervention, on behalf of the American people and common sense. And Cramer ain't going to rehab.
Jim Cramer's job itself is hard. His schtick is complex financial chicanery. His job is to sex up something intentionally boring and dense for the masses consumption. He's the ringleader in a circus of financial news-entertainment.
I pity anyone with such a pathetic existence. I do
But here's the truth. He knows.
As Jon Stewart said,
He knows.
He knows what his "friends" on Wall St. did, are doing and will continue to do to fuck your average person royally.
He knows, or more importantly has known, that it was encouraged behavior to leverage other peoples life savings, 401k's and pensions and bundle them up to be gambled at the Wall St table. He helped encourage that behavior
And he knows that people really are forgiving or better yet, tolerant. People are willing to empathize with the clown, because now he's a sad clown. A sad wrong clown.
Otherwise he would be tarred and feathered for the shit he said last year that people took as "objective financial analysis".
To be fair, taking financial cues from that assclown makes you pretty fucking stupid, but, it doesn't absolve the assclownery.
Jim Cramer Knows. And that's why I have no sympathy , no empathy and certainly no pity for him. Jim Cramer is a Sociopath.
His performance on Morning Joe(god I hate that title/show/Scarburrraaahh) was frightening.
He dismissed the Daily Show interview as "blame", which he points out "is really unhelpful".
Really, cuz if my house burned down, I'd like to know why.
But I concede, trying to find out just what the fuck happened technically does involve blame.
He continues to categorize the interview and attacks on hm as unfair and "ad-hominem". He categorically dismisses them while performing a perfunctory mea-culpa, "that day last September almost ruined my career".
Jim Cramer trying Morning Joe.
Bullshit.
The only thing that weasel is or ever was doing is saving his own ass.
He knew that the Jon Stewart had him over a fucking barrel, and not just because of the ridiculous shit he does every night on his show.
He also knew that they had the tape of him, which leaked on the internets where he was soberly bragging about how he fooled regulators and unfairly(and possibly criminally) played his position.
So he knew he had to show up(less look like a pussy, or worse a criminal pussy), and he tried to kill Jon Stewart with kindness.
He took his lashings, promising to try harder. Jim Cramer sorry Jon Stewart. Jim Cramer sorry...
Bullshit. His Morning Joe performance says it all.
