Jon Stewart is at his journalistic best here. This was filmed in March 2009, though I hadn’t seen it until today. Jim Cramer desperately tries to spin himself out of Stewart’s devastating indictment. Truly worth watching:

It's a beautiful thing! Cramer doesn't have a leg to stand on. Stewart is relentless.
And yet within just a few short days Cramer was back peddlin' his own brand of snake-oil.
Stewart is a phenomenal interviewer. Evisceration of pomposity seems to come so easily to him. One would hope that MSM interviewers were half as good! (One of the most egregious – Bob Schieffer's 'interview' of Cheney last week on Face the Nation– not a single egregious comment was challenged, and there were many, Video at cbs.com)
Stewart is the master at dismantling phonies and hypocrites. I've linked some classic clips of Stewart eviscerating those who deserve their comeuppance.

Did you see Cramer's interview in Time mag. this week where he vows Stewart will pay?
A more interesting question, that I ask on my blog, is whether Cramer's flagship company TheStreet.com (TSCM) would have a higher market value if he simply left? If you have an opinion on this please take my poll. thanks.
Here's the link to the Time interview. Here's the money quote:
