When Jon Stewart gets mad, watch out.

Very funny, and how so true, especially the nonsense from Jim Cramer

The Colbert Report take on the markets, bailouts, Santelli and then an interview (pretty funny) with Jim Cramer: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/0 ... 72477.html

Starts at the 2:45 mark.

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert? I thought that stuff was verboten except on July 4th and Election Day. :?

The reaming of Cramer referenced in the story was on Stewart's Thursday night show (indeed, it basically was the whole show). It'll be rerun several times between now and Monday evening. If you want to see a blowhard get a public pantsing, this is it.

The same way I don't feel too bad for the folks who invested with Madoff and kept getting statements indicating outstanding returns on their investments? When something looks too good to be true . . .

In order for capitalism to thrive, agencies like the SEC must be vigilant at doing its job, because without some assurances that someone is looking out for us little guys, why would anyone invest? The communist are laughing at us today. Maybe we should treat white collar criminals the way the Chinese do.
