2. Cramer is one of the old-school repubs-like my dad

[rucky]

3. did he have a sense of humor about it?

I'm watching some kid on TLC getting a tumor removed.

6. Yes. As my husband said,

as much as he has a sense of humor. :)

[Gregorian]

4. Oh man! That was fantastic.

Colbert ripped his clothes off. He totally turned the tables.

Who would have expected anyone on tv to actually mention the reality of why Cramer was so hystrionic? Well, Colbert did it.

What about the jobs of the guys at Bear Stearns? And of course Cramer had to deny it. He even mentioned Tom Joad.

Oh yeaH, and Colbert went into his own pretend panic/rage. It was great. I'm sure it'll be on video shortly.

5. Cramer is seriously worried about the foreclosures and how the lower income people

had been had. This was an important segment.

[Longhorn]

7. My impression, too. Can't say that I've ever watched him before. nt

[soothsayer]

8. i concur. what's with all the cramer hating?

9. Cuz he's a dick

His "concern" for anyone other than himself is horseshit. Watch him encouraging all comers into the housing market 9 months ago, because the doomsayers were full of it:

Now, if he had hair, it'd be on fire since he's suddenly become the alpha doomsayer. He's an admitted -- no, not admitted -- a cheekily proud manipulator of the markets:

Whatever Jim Cramer does, you'd be foolish to accept his apparent motivations as real without trying to suss out other angles he might be playing.
