Cramer vs Stewart

I've quoted the late SAG president and U.S. Senator George Murphy many times on this blog who told an audience, "Never pick a fight with an actor. You are bound to lose because the actor is a master of the media." Cramer's dopey ego got the best of his brain, telling him that brilliance, multi-degrees, and market savy would stomp all over Stewart's not too bright writing staff. His failure was proof again that Murphy was correct. To top it off Stewart had nothing to lose. Cramer knows more about markets than Stewart could hope to know in a lifetime but it made no difference, he was in a turf war on Stewart's turf. This should be a lesson for all of us: don't pick a fight with Oprah, Leno, or even Lindsay Lohan because they know how to fuck you; they live for it; it's what they do.

Once Stewart and/or his people found the street.com vid of Cramer bragging about what a scumbag he is, Cramer was cooked - skewered by his own words. As in "What's important when you're in the hedge fund mode is not to do anything remotely truthful."

Cramer's the kind of sociopath who figures he can cheat and lie over and over again *and* brag about it with no consequences. And he may be right in general, sadly, but he got nailed this time.

Good riddance.
