CNBC show host, Jim Cramer made an appearance on the Daily show last night as the climax of almost a week of feuding with Jon Stewart over financial news.
Let's just say, Stewart hammered him, chewed him up and spit him out in a non-comedic interrogation. There was the usual intro humor but after that Cramer sat for hard hitting questions and his answers were answered by the Daily Show with video clips of things he previously said. He did not come off well.
You can watch the entire episode here.
Now if only Jon Stewart would do a similar show with Barney Frank. Video aplenty of Frank's former dealings and defense of Fanny and Freddie.
It needs to be done, Daily Show, let's see it. No one else will.



this was done in response to Cramer's whining (on Morning Joe and who knows where else) about Stewart's treatment of him (Cramer). With CNBC running "In Cramer We Trust" ads, Stewart called him on it.I understand Cramer took his act to other NBC owned shows for even more whining.Stewart took him to task hilariously on Wednesday so I was surprised to see Cramer on the show last night.
I'm sure if Frank ever takes on Stewart you will see Stewart fight back.

I liked the show, I thought Cramer was annoying with the hang dog act coupled with making excuses and getting caught by his own words.
I understand the reason he was on, but I'd like to see more of this with others in the hot seat.
Everyone is talking about it today that is for sure.

Frank is gutless for not appearing on the Stewart show of Stewart is gutless for not inviting Frank on the show.

Barney Frank and Rush Limbaugh both need to take two weeks off, and then quit.

Rush Limbaugh, love or hate him, gets about 20 million or more people listening to him.
Barney Frank, love or hate him, would be lucky to have 200 people listen to him for more than 30 minutes. Bring a towel.
