Is it fun being a billionaire? Jon Stewart skins CNBC alive.

You all have probably seen this clip from The Daily Show already, but because I am cheap and do not have cable, I watched it on the wonderful Internet today. Jon Stewart takes CNBC to task on their years of bullshit business reporting and their fawning over lying CEOs. And he reserves a very special section to tear that sweat soaked a-hole Jim Cramer a new, well, a-hole. The best is at the end when CNBC "correspondent" Carl Quintanilla (I think he used to play second fiddle to that journalistic powerhouse Stone Philips on "Dateline") tosses up the biggest softball ever to Ponzi-schemer Marc Stanford. You have to hear the question for yourself. If you haven't seen this clip already, you'll wonder how you can laugh and be violently pissed off at the same time.
