Despite spending the day at home, I spent most of it watch the NCAA rather than daytime TV. Plus, since I was sick, I slept until noon so I missed Jim Cramer on the Today Show firing back at Jon Stewart. His criticisms of Stewart were completely incongruent with his performance on Stewart’s show. I think Stewart, in general, gets too cute in a lot of his media criticism. He is a comedian, but he is past the point in his career, popularity and influence where he can claim what he doesn’t matter. He would probably be better served by pointing to some of the solid opinion and commentary that occurs on his show that is disguised as comedy.

That being said, Cramer was an absolute wuss when he had the chance to actually confront Stewart last week. I thought that he took a dive in order to kill the media hoopla that had built up around his “feud.” That would have made sense. However, his outburst this morning means he either decided he wants to prolong the debate or, as I am beginning to think, he is just kind of a bully.

Either way I am curious to see if Stewart goes after him tonight.

UPDATE: He didn’t
