CNBC "Street Sweetie" Erin Burnett revealed what some might have suspected about "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer all along.
"[H]e's crazy - certifiably," Burnett said on the January 18 "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."
Of course, Cramer is a regular on NBC's "Today" and "Nightly News" as an expert on the economy. On December 19, Cramer appeared on "Today" and was very critical of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke for not cutting interest rates more than a quarter point. In another "Today" appearance on January 17, he declared the economy was in a recession, a 180-degree change from his comments earlier in the month when he declared "sunny skies" were ahead for the economy.
O'Brien commented on Cramer's January 5 "Late Night" appearance, when Cramer apparently took medication while the show was taping.
"The other thing is when you saw him pull something out of his pocket when we cut away," O'Brien said. "But, those were pills. He started taking these crazy pills that I think he wanted me to take so I would be as crazy as him on the air."
Burnett attempted to clear up remarks she made about President George W. Bush, when she called him "a monkey" on MSNBC's November 30 "Morning Joe."
"I meant it as a joke, actually," Burnett said. "Because, you know, he was walking next to the president of France, President [Nicolas] Sarkozy, who, obviously is very attractive, not just to Carla Bruni [former supermodel and Sarkozy's significant other], but even Rudy Giuliani has talked about a man crush on Sarkozy. So, I was just talking about who I thought was better looking."
Is Erin Burnett a shoplifter, or was it just a case of the pre-"Late Show" jitters?
"You know, I was nervous - did I say when I came here? I was so nervous that I forgot to pay for my dress. People may have seen it when I walked out," Burnett said, referring to the security tag still on her dress. "Well, I guess that goes to show you if we are in a recession, just take the clothes."

Monkey Jokes
January 18, 2008 - 16:42 ET by Lame CherryThe left has been at this "chimp" thing with President Bush for quite some time. Jeff Rense horrid "art" usually has W as a chimp form akin to the way the Nazi linked Jewish people to rats.
Then again Rense featured Elizabeth Hasselbeck at the GOP podium with Jesus crucified to it........quite disgusting but the "fun" which Burnett laughs at.
Why is it in liberal minds racism if Burnett linked Barak Obama to a monkey, but calling George Bush a monkey is funny.
Somehow the liberal socialist can always justifiy their racism and anti caucasoid mutterings and cloud it all up with Cramer being crazy.........
Cramer another MSNBC ranter who pretends he knows investment and the economy, but has no idea of the terms as most ignorant people do.

I told him why. And I'm right.

First of all, Leon, since secular progressives like yourself only believe in the theory of evolution, we all look like monkeys. That's because we're all descended from them.
Second, I thought liberals weren't supposed to make fun of peoples' physical appearances. In fact, the only people I recall who thought anyone who didn't meet a certain standard of physical appearance were to be castigated (or worse) ran Germany back in the 1930s and 1940s. They thought that all people should be blonde and Aryan.
Third, Abe Lincoln's opponents insulted him by denigrating his physical appearance. Some of them even called him "the Illinois Baboon".
I find it highly entertaining that you Kool-Ade drinkers on the left, when forced to attack the evil Boosh, can't find anything better to go after him on. How high-school can you get?

You're kidding
January 18, 2008 - 21:05 ET by Jack BauerYou're kidding right?
Obama has pronounced simian features, starting with his large sticky-out ears.
That in itself is not sufficient reason not to support the man. And why should it be when there are so many excellent reasons, such as his incipient socialism.
Obama looks like the son of a Muslim and an Atheist
January 18, 2008 - 21:38 ET by PopularTechOh wait he is and his middle name is Hussein. Go try selling that to the American people. Barrack Hussein Obama who has a Muslim Father and Grandfather and an Atheist Mother was educated in a madrassa.
"In our house the Bible, the Koran and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf..." - Barrack Hussein Obama
I cannot wait until Hussein is nominated!

big ears: monkey, check; Obama, check; Bush, no
dark hair: monkey, check; Obama, check; Bush, no
opposable thumbs: monkey, no; Obama, unknown; Bush, yes
Sorry, Leon, but by all criteria, it is Obama who most resembles the monkey, not Bush. Now, go away little Trotskyite troll until you have something of substance to contribute.

Everyone's comments her
January 18, 2008 - 17:34 ET by Sonny LykosEveryone's comments her really irritates me. We all know that liberals are sensitive, not racist, not bigoted, never call people names or make unsubstantiated accusations, or even hint at those accusations. And they never repeat such accusations by others of their ilk.
Only conservatives do the above.
Big Surprise
January 18, 2008 - 19:45 ET by stratmanBurnett gets away with it because she's pretty.
Gender politics work very nicely in her favor.
Killing them with kindness isn't working. Time to get scrappy with the Donkeys.

January 18, 2008 - 20:33 ET by Del DolemonteHas Erin Burnett found her (obscenely rich) dream man yet?
People can't help the way
January 19, 2008 - 00:27 ET by mostlymoderatePeople can't help the way they look. I find it utterly disappointing for anyone to make fun of another persons "looks". Since we are on the topic, I think Obama looks more "monkeyish" or "ape-ish" than G.W. Bush. I find Hilary Clinton to look like some form of blowfish.
