Okay so bloggers and Tweeters (follow me on Twitter damnit!) were all excited for tonight’s showdown between these two…
…the ridiculous amount of emails I received concerning “the event” even forced me to do a post about Cramer, in which I defended him because he deserved it, so here’s the much-hyped but under-delivering video:
My take: this was just dumb–and not in the usually funny Daily Show way–because Cramer was obviously told be to be overly nice and never risk losing his temper in an interview GE executives surely described to him as having “crossover potential” & Stewart appeared to actually believe Cramer would have any interest/audience whatsoever if he described the true methods behind making high percentage profits year in year out, most of which would be considered borderline illegal by the incompetent SEC.
Long story short: The 5OT Uconn/Syracuse game was infinitely more entertaining…hell, even any timeout taken during that game was more interesting because Cramer has become a clown on his own show and a friggin politician on everyone else’s show while Stewart had already used all his bullets in previous shows so he had nothing but a fuzzy/muffled 2-year-old-TheStreet.comTV clip everyone’s already seen. Truly 2009’s The Great White Hype.
