'Feud of the Century'

As a copy editor, I tend to work late nights and rarely get to catch The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, even though it's one of my favorite (next to Jay Leno). But, while some of you were sunbathing in Mexico or Florida, I finally got a chance to watch Stewart every night last week. I was lucky, too. I got to see the "Weeklong Feud of the Century" between Stewart and CNBC TV Show host Jim Cramer which ended in a "Brawl Street" battle Thursday night.
Here's the video, courtesy of Hulu:

While I've always known Stewart was a smart man, he really showed his understanding not only of the American people, but also of financial matters as he basically eviscerated Cramer during their 20 minute interview.
"I understand that you want to make finance entertaining, but it's not a ... game," Stewart told Cramer, adding in an expletive during the show.
While Stewart's points in the interview were crystal clear, Cramer could only respond to say that him and his network could have done better and should have seen the economic downturn coming. Most interesting, Cramer tried to deny what he had said during an interview, which Stewart then proceeded to show by shouting out, courtroom style, "Roll 210," "Roll 212," playing an interview that was never meant to be broadcast on TV where Cramer talked about the duplicity of the market.
Were Stewart usually makes points through outright mockery, there were times Thursday night when he was downright serious in addressing Cramer. Stewart went where other journalists and reporters often fail to go by calling out Cramer and not taking PR remarks as an appropriate answer --- and in the end, he won as did the viewers who watched the show.
