Because he got suckered.
I'm not defending Cramer's behavior, I just didn't enjoy the way the whole thing was produced. The guy was cornered and had no way to defend himself. Even if you hate the guy, the whole thing just felt wrong. It looked to me like Cramer was really caught off guard and wasn't expecting it.
If Stewart ever does this to a more popular person, it could really backfire.
Because he got suckered.
popularity will not trump exposure.
It was just damage control, the whole thing was getting out of hand-- the whole left jumped on him, with Rush and the right defending him--not ideal of cir stances for a left oriented news organization; But saying that, he probably didnt expect and was obviously not prepared to see Stewart coming out with guns blazing; Fast Money is due to be canceled for sure now.
He didnt have any other option dude. What do you think TDS offered him, candy and a ride to the amusement park?
So, you think Cramer knew that Stewart was going to go prosecutor on him and start rifling through 3 year old video clips?
If he knew that and still went on than he's in re ed.
cramer had no defense, and no other option but to appear.
he should have keep his mouth shut and take the ratings drop.
Being hopelessly addicted to being on TV makes people do re ed things.
EVERYONE HERE knew thats what was going to happen. How the could Cramer not expect it? Did you not see him gorveling? Of course it was sad. Look what I wrote above as I watched it. It was fairly pathetic, but not because I felt sorry or pity for Cramer because he's pure s who self admitidly broke laws and didn't care because the SEC couldn't figure it out.
Who the goes on bragging like that and doesn't get nailed to the cross? Doesn't it piss you off that it took years and the ing Daily Show to spur investigations into this ?
Dude the closest comparison I can come up with is simply that Jon Stewart just went Chris Hanson all over Cramer and I know I sure as never felt sorry for those pedos.
Who in the is Chris Hanson?
But the thing to remember in all this is that none of it would've happened had Cramer not criticized the Messiah's policies.
Moral of the Story: keep your mouth shut and refrain from telling people the Emperor has no clothes!
You ing . Die crookshanks.
Turrets?
So the moral isn't don't undertake illegal stock dealings?
WOW.
So, Cramer is under arrest now?
Should be.
Im sure he knew it was possible something like that could happen, but to go as far as to say he knew Stewart is going to hang him by the balls, no i wouldn't say that.
Cramer didn't play it out well with trying to distance himself from all the bull that he has done, talking about how he tried to expose the frauds....He even had the guts to repeatidly use the word shananigans, as if it we are talking about some harmless kiddie prank....People loosing everything, haha, good joke....
What he should have done, is emphasing the fact that he was just trying to do best by his clients/viewers, make them money, but like so many others made the mistake in assessing the situation. If he is to blame for that, then so be it, but all that he was saying was to his knowledge to the benefit of his clients/viewers. He should have just repeated this like a mantra, and he would have been fine.
Instead he decided he wants to look good on TV, showing himself like some just crusader surrounded by a swarm of parasitic vermin and Stewart wanted to hear nothing of that. you Cramer.
Fair enough.
You realize he admitted to breaking the law in that video right? Whether or not he's under arrest is a pure red herring. The guy said he broke the law but the SEC can't do about it.
THIS is who you are defending above. Congrats.
Yes lets simplify, thats what beeing republican is all about anways.
That is simply incorrect.
A "vast left wing conspiracy" out to get Obama critics is fashionable thinking right now in conservative land, because blaming others for failures over simply taking responsibility is just human nature.
If someone says something stupid and get called to the mat for it, that MUST mean that the only reason to point out the stupid thing is political. It couldn't possibly be because pointing out when somebody says something stupid or harmful is the right thing to do.
The whole conservative "blame the media" schtick is getting old.
"Boo hoo, we didn't win because of the liberal media" makes you feel better than
"Boo hoo, we didn't win because we really didn't have any decent ideas, and selected an idiot to represent our party for 8 years."
God forbid Republicans should actually take a sober look at the state of their ideology/party. THAT would be sooo counter-productive.
Better:
Blame the liberal media.
That's ok, as a Democrat, I don't mind if you and so many Republicans want to play the blame the media card, because it keeps you from actualy fixing the problems in your party. Your denial is our gain.
Another outgrowth of the "blame the media" schtick:
For a good while it made mainstream media, which was fairly neutral by any objective measurement, really tiptoe around issues and balance, and they went out of their way to give voice to every moronic strawman attack that the right mounted on anything they didn't like in the effort to appear fair.
The problem is that a lot of "the media" have realized that no matter how fair they are in reality, if they are anywhere left of attilla the Hun on the poltical spectrum (such as actually being neutral) they will be charactorized as "liberal media".
I would guess a lot of media people are kind of tired of being on after bending over backwards to please people who could never by satisfied.
Sorry, but the timer is up on that shtick. It is backfiring on your dumb asses.
That's ok, again, as a Democrat, it suits me that you are ting on centrists, because that means the Democratic party gets to capture that segment of the population.
Who are you addressing with this?
You do realize that Stewart is an admitted liberal and that Cramer is a lifelong Democrat, right?
