Will Cramer have his revenge on Stewart?
If you thought the celebrity driven feud between The Daily Show's Jon Stewart and Mad Money host Jim Cramer was over, get ready to sigh a big breath of "Oh holy crap, here we go again." That's if you completely believe the quote that the New York Post's Page Six gossip column picked out of an upcoming Time Magazine interview with the CNBC host without reading it in its proper context. So take it with a Lot's wife-sized grain of salt, and if you do automatically believe it, I've got an investment scheme that you might want to get in on.
The newspaper claims that Cramer is biding his time and that Stewart will "answer" for his vicious showdown on Stewart's show.
Cramer told Time that he tried not to turn the whole interview into a personal matter, but Stewart's style was so "vicious" that he couldn't keep from letting his bloodlust get the best of him. He knows about bloodlust. After all, he is at heart a hedge fund manager. He's required to drink a pint of blood every day before the market opens.
Cramer said he has blamed himself for not defending himself more since he was trying to "take the high road" and defend his network without breaking his face with a chair. It's a good thing Stewart got rid of that sofa.
I'll definitely give a good read to the Cramer interview in question, but either way, I hope he lets it go. Stewart himself said his bigger issue wasn't with Cramer. It was more towards the false pervasiveness of the financial news media, their lackadaisical coverage in the days before the market crash, and the subsequent sour attitude towards the taxpayers demanding help even after they fronted the failing companies in the shadow of certain doom. This whole starry-eyed pissing contest could have been avoided if Stewart had just interviewed this man like he planned to.
