Jim Cramer was back on The Today Show for the first time since last week's extended interview on The Daily Show—where, by most accounts, he served as doormat for Jon Stewart's extended chastising of his and the rest of CNBC's behavior throughout the economic meltdown. And like a kid who sticks his tongue out once his parents have left the room following a spanking, Cramer took the opportunity this morning to finally stand up against Stewart's attacks. Following the segment's financial talk, The Daily Show discussion begins at around 3:08 below.
We love the conclusion where Meredith asks Cramer what he meant by telling Stewart that he would "try harder" and he responds by saying, "That was an attempt, as it was throughout the interview, to take a high road." If Cramer's words had any credibility left after The Daily Show force-fed them back to him throughout the days leading up to his interview, his posthumous attempt to take a swing at the show a week later might have bankrupted any value they had remaining even further.
