I wonder why our only journalists are comedians (and the Republicans are the new--accidental--comedians).
And since we're all accused of socialism now that's a good excuse to post this.

Mad Laughs!
If you haven't seen it, you should watch Jon Stewart's interview with Jim Cramer of CNBC, the network that allowed Rick Santelli to call people losing their homes "losers." I generally prefer The Colbert Report for unrestrained silliness and I've never been really impressed with J.S.'s interviewing skills but he came prepared!

I watched the interview and was thoroughly uncomfortable the whole time- I really hate watching that kind of confrontation. I have even less respect for Cramer than I did before though and now think he is soooo slimey instead of just a nutjob. It is not even about right predictions, that bit where he denied that he used to take part in short selling and said he was inarticulate if that is what he said made me want to barf! He came off as nervous and like he was guilty of much more than he was being accused of. Creepy! I like JS interviews sometimes but in some cases it feels a little awkward for lack of a better word. The audience claps at everything he says which makes me think of cheesy daytime talk shows. I am glad he did it and agree with everything he said but it was uncomfortable.
On NPR this morning, Diane's guests said they thought the Steward/Cramer interview was what we all needed to show that these alleged financial experts had "jumped the shark" and were just playing games with the public. Listen to it if you haven't heard it.
How bizarre, indeed, that Colbert and John Stewart are doing a better job of letting us know what's going on than some of the political pundits -- except Rachel -- we love Rachel.

Love the Bolshevik poster. It has been hanging on the bathroom wall at the home of favorite leftie friends for years.
