Jon Stewart's War on CNBC

[MadBadger]

I knew this would happen when I found out on MOnday that Rick Santelli cancelled on The Daily SHow...or rather CNBC cancelled for him.

Well now, Jon Stewart is completely thrashing CNBC and their so called experts for their failures on Lehman, Bank of America, AIG, Merryl Lynch, Bear Sterns, etc.

This thing is a thing of beauty. If you have a chance, watch this. Cramer is probably crying in a bathtub right now.

7. the smiling bean counters at CNBC have no conscience

[carpe diem]

3. this needs to go viral...

i hope somebody can load it asap...it needs to be as ubiquitous as the Obama is a Muslim emails were during the primaries...

[MadBadger]

9. That will be hard, only because Daily Show clips are usually removed from youtube pretty quickly

[wndycty]

11. Yes but they upload their own videos which can be embedded. This will

:kick:

6. Speaking of bathtubs ..... if those fucks had any honor at all .......

.... they'd do what Frankie Pentangeli did .......

[Bigmack]

8. I am recording this and keeping it.....

this is not a TV show, this is HISTORY!!!

Goddam it... why can't the Dems do stuff like this?

[tavalon]

10. I'm assuming you mean elected Dems because Jon is a Dem

[MadBadger]

12. Are you sure he's a dem? He's no doubt a liberal. But I can see him being an independent

Because he sees them all as bullshitters.

[tavalon]

13. You're right, I have absolute confirmation that he's a liberal,

and none, except that he's Jewish and that's an awfully strong constituent base for the Dems, for the idea that he's a Dem.

And yeah, while I'm even more of a liberal than him, I consider myself a Socialist, though I vote Dem most of the time and I consider DUers to be my brothers and sisters-in-arms. So I get that liberal and Dem are not necessarily the same.

<snip>
CALLER: I was wondering, is it hard to make political jokes and not be on, like, either side?

KING: You can't be for either side.

STEWART: No, that's not true I mean I think you -- most people can't hide their political.

KING: I think you're a Democrat, Jon.

STEWART: I think that's probably correct. I think I would say I'm more of a socialist or an independent but, yes, I mean, no one would ever I think watching our show think that, boy, that guy is just leaning so far right.

KING: But you would knock the Democrats...

(CROSSTALK)

STEWART: Oh, sure.

KING: .. when a prime opportunity occurred.

STEWART: Oh, yes.

16. Wow, Jon might be a fellow socialist!

Swoon!

[Hissyspit]

14. CNBC is shit.

They mocked the whole idea that anyone would be against TARP. Didn't report the other side of the picture. I don't know what Santelli's position was on it, but the whole channel may as well be the Fox Business channel.
