Cramer's a Communist?
I'm picking on the market experts particularly hard today. It's their fault for making such easy targets of themselves. I couldn't believe my ears. Mad Money came on last night when I didn't get the TV shut off soon enough and I hear Cramer in his usual lion like voice saying, "I love spying! I love surveillance! I'm uncomfortable with the fourth amendment and I am at best ambivalent about freedom, which chairman Mao will tell you is really pretty overrated anyway. No I want to have a patriot act bonanza.
At the bottom of the screen they flash "Espionage is my game."
The fourth amendment? That's the one that protects our privacy from excessive search and our property from unnecessary seizure. Ambivalent? That's mixed emotions but leaning towards against. Chairman Mao? He's the godfather of China's communism.
I waited for the part where he says he's joking. It never came. Cramer's a communist? No wonder he rubs the wrong way so badly. Geez, go buddy up with Marc Faber over in Hong Kong and do your show from there if that's the way you feel. I'm sure Faber has plenty of room for you, while your busy renouncing your U.S. citizenship and kissing communist butt.
Oh yeah, and stop saying Cramerica. It's great being a communist when your the one in charge. Most bosses I've had were communistic every day from 7 am to 5 pm, the usual hours communist dictator bosses demand of you.
Did I miss the part where he said he was kidding? I couldn't stand to watch the whole show. His words not mine, but I don't want to take him out of context.
