Jim "Mad Money" Cramer v. Jon "Annoying Shouting Liberal" Stewart

He's a comedian. I worry when people get their political news from Comedy Central.

Thank god for 'annoying shouting liberals' like Jon Stewart who actually hold folks accountable for being shady bastards. (Can I say that?) Without them, we would have a whole bunch of Bernie Madoff's running around scamming the world, and destroying American values.

Jon did exactly what he should have done, and blasted that fool for telling people to invest in a bunch of junk, and then telling them it was okay, they were on TV. All the while, watching peoples money disappear, and not doing a thing about it. How about going back on TV and saying "Stop! We messed up! Don't do that!" oh right, annoying, shouting conservatives have a hard time admitting that.

It's sad that Michael Phelps won't just come out and say "I smoke pot. And I win gold medals. I'm the fastest guy in the pool. How's that for slower reaction times?"

Then maybe America could really take a look at prison overcrowding, unlawful search and seizure, and ruined families, and start researching things like alternative fuels (hmm, think we might need that?) and ways to increase revenue from taxing it, and the medicinal uses of it too.

I'm not a 'hippie', more of a realist who realizes that maybe there's something to the things NORML and other such organizations, have been trying to explain to people for a long time.

Okay, saying Jon Stewart 'won' is like saying Mount Everest is sorta tall.

When Jon Stewart turns his incredibly high IQ on 'full,' he's one of the more brilliant men and top debators ever.

He cleaned the floor with Jim Cramer, and skipped the comedy to do it. At one point, Stewart intellectually rips Cramer so hard I almost felt badly for Jim and CNBC's talking heads. Almost.

I love that Stewart does a comedy show, but if he wanted to, he could turn Keith Olberman sideways and completely rule a program like that.

The most ironic part about this whole bit is that the Jon Stewart v. Cramer interview was the most honest piece of media on network/cable television done in some time. Jon Stewart is a comic, yes, but he has consistently railed against how the media caters towards ratings rather than content for years. He took down CrossFire on CNN for pete's sake. His whole point with Cramer was that CNBC was more interested in bells and whistles (and ratings) rather than actual giving sound, solid, NON BIASED, honest financial advice. Which is what we should be expecting from the mainstream media. Jon made good points, and from Cramer's responses, he obviously agreed with him.
