OMG Jon Stewart vs. Jim Cramer!

If you guys get a chance, you NEED to see Jim Cramer on the Daily Show tonight. It was a thing of beauty. Absolutely amazing. Stewart skewered Cramer. Absolutely skewered Cramer and vicariously, the entire financial industry and the financial media. Bravo!

I just think Stewart and his writers need to reality check themselves a little more often. If JS is going to take such a moralistic, judgmental position, he cannot simply dismiss what he's doing as comedy, snake oil sales, or entertainment. He's coming dangerously close to Rushoid demagoguery and his immunizing comments smacks of trying to have things both ways and avoiding responsibility.

Hey, I love Jon ... I just really hate moralistic, judgmental demagogues. Of any persuasion.
