He's hired to attract eyeballs to watch the ads, not to make people money. I expect he'll get a big ratings boost from people who want to see how he weasels out of this. He may even modify his act - Whacky Jim do Wrong. By the way, did you see him crying about his pal Spitzer? Literal tears.

Cramer has plenty of practice at weaseling out of his numerous bad calls. He was pumping Merck the day before the Vioxx news broke in 2004!

What do you think about Jim Cramer, will this bring him down? I've seen that video of him saying that "Bear is going to be just fine" tons of places. Nah, Cramer has been proven indestructible. It's true, he was on TV last Tuesday berating anyone even thinking of selling their Bear Sterns shares (then at $60 a share). But I still have a column of his from Feb 2000 called something like "Ten Stocks I Couldn't Live Without." You guessed it, every internet tulip in the book, at the absolute peak of the Nasdaq Bubble. Anybody fool enough to listen to him lost his shirt. But Cramer just keeps on keepin' on.
