Maybe, just maybe, the single coolest thing I've ever seen on CNBC. Rick Santelli heard just about enough of Jim's lies today (Tuesday, January 22, 2008). So, he called ol' Jimbo out. What a glorious moment!
The first time a CNBC-ite challenged their King. (No disrepect to you, Mr. Santelli, but Jim Cramer was crowned, King Shill the First in 2005.)
The really neat thing is this: Although Jim got all huffy and tough sounding, and said how "bearish" he had been (you'll see what I mean), I added some cute video clips that show that Rick Santelli was right: Jim was pounding people into stocks all last year. And, I do mean ALL. Enjoy!
