This weeks Weekly Reamer was a pretty easy choice. Of course there was the usual unfortunate pet (which have become a Reamer staple), Bernard Madoff got sent to jail with out bail, and a Mexican drug lord made the Forbes' billionaire list. Nothin, however, has been quite as entertaining as the epic reaming that CNBC's Jim Cramer has been getting at the hands of The Daily Show's Jon Stewart.It all seemed to really start firing up when Stewart went on his tirade about CNBC when Rick Santelli canceled, and has since escalated with barbs and zingers being aimed at Cramer in particular ever since. It all finally came to a head on Thursday's episode when Cramer appeared on The Daily Show and...kinda whimpered and did a lot of what I think was supposed to be perceived as apologies. In all likelihood this one-on-one interview had more to do with the big hit (24%) in ratings that Cramer has suffered in the process of this feud, and less to do with a feeling of guilt or honest admission that he's a horrible adviser and a great shill for a network that could conceivably be accused of causing the financial crisis to begin with. While ultimately it's just two talking heads doing their job on each other, it's both entertaining and serves to call out the media to quit fucking around. It won't work, but it's a nice try anyways.
Reamer Value: 100,000 Reamers.(It's probably only worth a couple hundred, but because it entertained me so much, I spent the reamers out of my own pocket to get it up to a cool, even 100k)
