Not the Most Bookish… But Needs to Be Seen

Last night Jim Cramer of CNBC’s Mad Money was on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. If you haven’t already seen the interview, click here to see the extended full 20-minute version (with not safe for work language). It’s simply incredible. Stewart really goes at Cramer, a man who purports to have the public’s best financial interest at heart but is obviously just a tool for Wall Street to fleece people out of their money. At a few points, Jim Cramer looks as though he could cry. He knows he, and CNBC as a whole, has screwed with people and you can tell he feels bad about it. But, just like Bernie Madoff, these people are only sorry that they got caught.

How is it that a fake news show, hosted by a comedian, is the only show on television that will really hold the mirror up to these people?
