Movies and TV Jon Stewart vs. Jim Cramer

Do any of you know the original quote from Rick Santelli that Jon Stewart played that set all this off?

"How many of you want to pay your neighbor's mortgage?" (Scattered Boos)

The amount of hypocrisy it takes to make a statement like that after the government took taxpayer money to bail many of these folks out. Had they not stepped in, many people on that floor would have been ruined. Save me and it's alright, eff everyone else.

Jim Cramer would have gotten off with just the clip on Monday's show being played but he had to cry and whine all over NBC's family of networks about it. NBC played it up for all it was worth and they ended up throwing Cramer to the wolves in the end.
