...The One-Minute Pundit

Why, then, is Cramer so in-your-face? In the aftermath of New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's attacks on Wall Street research, analysts hide behind weaselly ratings such as "In-Line" and "Equal Weight," and scores of stocks are no longer covered. "The analysts," Cramer pronounces, taking a break from another drug-pump tantrum, "they are colorless and odorless and sanitized and fear Spitzer to the point of death." Even CNBC, he complains, is "terribly gun-shy about being anything but 'corporate crime watch' when people still need to make money."

Unfortunately, unlike BusinessWeek (DilbertSpell), we remember back during the CNBC BUBBLE the network was loaded with all sorts of prognosticators predicting permanent upward wealth. The NASDAQ has yet to recover, and Jim Cramer will be forgotten long after he's finally held in scorn for helping bankrupt some of his zany fans.

Does anyone remember another FNN alumnus -- DAN DORFMAN?

P. S. The guy worked for Alan Dershowitz. FIGURES.
