Wow... just saw it on YouTube. I am a big Cramer fan, and still am after seeing that interview, but I've gotta hand it to Jon Stewart... he owned Cramer's ass in that interview. Honestly, I'm surprised Cramer agreed to appear on the show with his pants effectively down to his ankles as soon as taping started. He's a smart guy, Harvard Law grad, frankly I'm surprised he let himself get THAT caught off guard by Jon Stewart.
All of that said... I think Jon Stewart is a bubble. I think the guy is very good at what he does, but he's running a little ahead of his expectation at this point. At some point, people are going to have to throttle back their viewpoint of him. At the end of the day, he's just some liberal dude (in a time where being liberal is very popular) who is good with words. Eventually that won't be as relatively admirable.
