Quote from saliva:
It's somewhat ironic that Rick Santelli, who I believe was the only voice of reason on that damn network, became the poster child of CNBC that ignited Stewart's ire.
Quote from WaveStrider:
I'm wondering if Santelli had not backed-out of his original scheduled appearance on TDS if he might have held his own and ended it right there. Cramer folded like an accordion. Not sure who at CNBC thought he was the man to defend their network.
Quote from flytiger:
I don't think santelli backed out. CNBC told him not to go. the comment was "we're moving on."
that being said, it does appear they asked Jimbo to go on and defend. And he really shit the bed. I mean, what was he to say? Seriously. Watch it, stop it after Stewart asks a question and makes a statement. It is indefensible conduct.
Yeah. He's gone.Then, we can all move on.
