The horror.....

Because no one else seems to have commented on it (sarcasm) I decided to post up the Jim Cramer/Jon Stewart interview from last night. I like it not for the sheer level of discomfort/glee it fills you with to see Stewart gut this man in front of a live studio audience, or the seeming stupidity of a man going on a show to ostensibly defend his honor despite the hours of videotape and the economic situation graphically exposing his ignorance and then backing down into a timid yes man as the sheer weight of his stupidity is slammed into his skull minute after minute, nor is it the shiv it sticks in the side of the bank humping financial press who regurgitate corporate press releases while sneering at anyone who makes less than $250,000, that Cramer dropped all his press appearances after the interview and CNBC has been begging MSNBC not to show clips from it, or the skill with which a comedian once again performs the role our media won't, it's because of today's press conference with Robert Gibbs and the sheer glee he took in the interview.



Yes, he is hiding a boner behind that podium. Gibbs has been waging his own mini-war with CNBC and Rick "Will no one think of the poor hedge fund managers" Santelli and must have really appreciated seeing one of their network toads get squashed on the TV, or really, just seeing anyone having to take questions from someone who won't accept pat platitudes about the failure that will consume his bosses' first term.

I'd be careful to note this interview, for it will be the last time anyone tangentially connected to the crisis will be deign to be quizzed by anyone competent enough to make them look bad. No more comedians, we'll have to rely on the...*shudder*...real media now.
