Jim Cramer on MSNBC is illiterate and an hysterical fool:
He's the MSNBC incarnation of Mr. Malaprop. You can wager that any word he utilizes of four or more syllables is incorrect, and he believes that if he speaks at 400 words per minute, that no one will notice. Actually it almost doesn't matter sicne his content is vacuous - he makes Larry King's showlook like Charlie Rose's.

He's tiresome and frankly, dull. I'll take Scarborough over him any day, that's how low we have sunk...but it will be interesting to see whom they finally choose. As long as it's not Tucker.

Problem is that Kira Chetry is the Eva Braun of CNN and is unwatchable right down to her bony protuberances. And I can't stand the Rethug callers of C-SPAN. What's a mother to do?

3. It would sound like a forest full of cicadas...
I can't believe that I really miss that putz Imus. At least it was provocative and at times funny. Strange to say, guys like Imus, Carson, and a few others make it look very easy when it is, in fact, very difficult to keep people's attention with nonsense. Legit stuff can hold people but not enough folks to make it worthwhile for the netword, sicne more than half the viewership are slugs.

2. He's Imus Minus The Non-Personaity
I've watched Cramer on his money show and the dude is an investing machine. But I watched a few minutes of this disaster and thought I had stumbled back onto Imus.

He wanted just "good news" from Iraq? Even wingnut Charles McCord couldn't find anything. That was enough for me to throw on some music, pop on DU and see what the real world is up to.

Call me a glutton for punishment, but I get a kick out of the spin WJ takes...it's always a head up as to what the RNC blast fax and talking points for the day will be.

Cheers...

4. First Joe is what MSM is all about ,Glib ambiguous Bullshit ,Charlie Rose
hides behind the guise of PBS ,whilst enabling Repukers by castigating good men like Micheal Moore and President Clinton. Misanthrope Shyster Media are the experts that keep us in the dark.

5. Well, then, there is...
absolutely no reason to watch him. His money show has its moments, but he's useless in the morning unless you need the annoying yakking to help wake up.

I have a radio here in the computer room, and I find it quite interesting and informative.

6. Just the way I want to start my day...being screamed at.
NOT. What little MSNBC was watched in the mornings with Imus is even less now. In fact, it's ZERO.

Nice move, MSNBC. You must be in competition with CBS to see who can run off the most viewers.

7. My morning now starts
watching "Star Trek" the original on TVLand. I only get from 0615 till 0700 to watch something. Star Trek is much more interesting then any thing else that is on (more fun to watch also). I wish Cspan would rerun Washington Journal during that time so I could see what I missed the day before.

8. I can't figure out why anyone would want a screaming,
stuttering fool on a supposed news/entertainment show. I can understand his attraction on their investing show, even though that little prick is the essence of unattractiveness, but he's totally out of place where they've installed him.

I cannot imagine he comes cheap, so wtf?

There's only a certain amount of right wingers that can be accomodated by the likes of POX noise, so why not start up a show that the majority of people might appreciate?

9. Stop watching TV...I haven't watched it in more than 20 years
and I haven't missed a thing. There are plenty of other sources, better sources, for news. Why put yourself through the misery of TV "journalism?"
