Rumble Tonight In The Daily Show Parking Lot
 

stewart11

Jim Cramer and Jon Stewart are going to have their showdown tonight after a week of Stewart calling out the Mad Money host for bad stock advice a year ago. Even though really, this whole thing is about Rick Santelli and not about Cramer at all, insofar as the Santelli outburst is what prompted this whole Comedy Central v. CNBC backlash. Jim says he's really nervous and that Jon is "his idol." That's a bullshit attitude. I'd really like to see Cramer call out Stewart on being a hypocrite:

Why didn't Stewart care about Cramer's bad Bear Sterns advice when it was relevant? Why isn't Stewart calling out Rick Santelli to be on his show? Either way, this interview will most likely turn into a fluff piece, as they always do when these highly-anticipated media fights come to fruition. (See: Letterman v. McCain, O'Reilly v. Hillary v. Obama.)

Obama given F for failure on his economic policies. Santelli was just the first. Now Obama's pal Warren Buffett says economy being driven over the cliff. Jack Welch, the choir is growing. Is Jon Stewart going to attack them all? This isn't a football game where one side wins or loses, this is our country where we are all gonna lose, if this president is to overwhelmed and tired he can't function. Americans have lost 3 trillion dollars of wealth, those are both democrats and republicans. Don't spend your 13 dollars all in one place. Is this the change you voted for. John Stewart isn't going to pick a fight with Warren Buffett or Jack Welsh.

"This isn't a football game where one side wins or loses, this is our country where we are all gonna lose"

gee Rhonda, then why is your idol wishing failure on him?

which is it? you hope he loses, or you hope he succeeds so that we don't ALL lose?

or are you just a big hypocrite like your hillbilly heroin-abusing idol?

Perhaps because he didn't know it was bad advice then.

Because he's not claiming to have any sort of knowledge like some sort of cracked out fortune teller, it's not his job to do so nor is it hypocritical when he doesn't. But if CNBC and the other jagoffs in the financial industry — who are so stupid that they only measure the health of the economy by the more-or-less imaginary money that is the stock market — continue to treat the downturn of the market as a failure of the system rather than something that is guaranteed to happen in the free market system they claim to be fighting to protect from Obama, they need to be mocked ruthlessly. It's not a game; it's fucking real life.

I'm in rare agreement with Jossip on this one. Tonight is "bury the hatchet night" I also predict.

"Why isn't Stewart calling out Rick Santelli to be on his show?"

According to Stewart he did:

Stewart says Santelli accepted but then rejected an invitation to appear on his show ("I guess the phrase would be bailed out").

Does the writer have any reason to think Stewart is lying?

Some one who gives a President an F when approximately 3% of his presidency has elapsed just has problems. What grade would you give Bush an A. You voted for the guy who trashed this economy pulled us into an unwinable war that has cost BILLIONS of dollars. You voted for the guy so please save us your predictions of what will happen. The past 8 years have proven your predictions should be ignored. So since you voted for Bush I give your economic policies an F- and that is on the past 8 years not the past 50 days. If you thought ANYONE could turn around the biggest economic downturn since the depression in a month you are pitifully naive. I'll try to keep it simple we have to CHANGE things (spending, and waste(Thanks Bush)) and legislation actually has to take effect that takes more time than a month or two. Unlike conservatives our leaders don't treat us like idiots and say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED when the job is far from finished and like conservatives we don't just believe it when someone says mission accomplished. So for the slow people out there it took 8 years for the economy to tank it will take more than 2 months to fix it. Make no mistake pulling for your country to do badly day after day makes you a bad american. Being skeptical is one thing dissent is healthy but to hope the DAY after Legislation is signed it will ultimately fail and cripple our country further is objectionable. You seem to have no political views or platform you just hate the President. Even though i disagreed with Bush i didn't hate him. Why don't you concentrate on improving this country and making things better than this obsession of Obama. Hating the President is not actually an ideology you post every day and you never have anything to say about the issues. Never. You just want to constantly pour venom and sarcasm all over the thread but you never bring pertinent information with it. This is a political discussion thread not a place for you to just constantly insult people and make talk about how stupid everything and everyone is. Reading your posts you seem like a deeply unhappy person everything is negative drivel never anything positive or intelligent to say. Grow up that's my advice to you and if you can think of one positive or helpful thing to post DON'T.

Save you the trouble of watching the dumb thing since this afternoon's taping has leaked out.

"The Daily Show" otherwise cloaked their headline-grabbing feud in humor, calling it "the weeklong feud of the century."

Stewart gets to poke Cramer some more and act superior. Cramer gets to put it to rest and move on to pick stocks another day.

Jossip pretty well called it.

rhonda, can you list the 49 economists? Your source should have them identified. If not, wherever you got this information will have a reference cited so you can maybe provide a link to that. I'm very interested in who these economists are. If they are credible, then I am interested in reading what they have to say. I may change my mind if they present compelling and factual reasoning.

From the article-"The economists, many of whom have been continually surprised by the depth of the downturn, also pushed back yet again their forecasts for when a recovery would begin." These are the same people who did not see the recession coming.

Read the comments section very interesting!

Grendel, I don't give a damn about reading the article. I just want links to the source that provides the 49 economists. Their information is what I want to know about. I can assess the WSJ on my own. Rhonda brought another publication's story into this thread, and Rhonda needs to provide links to the economists cited in that publication whoses figures she's using to make her claims. If I use another publication's writing to make my point, it's my responsibility to provide links, not the readers. Put your umbrella away. It ain't raining on your head.

Just from reading what getreal quoted, the article hardly semems to be a bashing of Obama's efforts. I think we all know just from watching/reading the news that the recession is so much more severe than previously thought, it's clear to everyone there will be no magic bullet for recovery. It's not rocket science.
