On the November 8 edition of NBC's Today, while discussing "the falling stock market" with CNBC host Jim Cramer, co-host Meredith Vieira aired a video clip of Cramer's appearance on the previous day's edition of CNBC's Street Signs, during which he claimed that New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo "is about confiscation" and called him a "communist." Cramer had been criticizing Cuomo in response to news reports that he is issuing subpoenas to government-sponsored lenders Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as part of his investigation into the mortgage industry. After airing the video clip, Vieira asked: "Now, come on. Isn't he {Cuomo} doing his job?" Cramer replied: "No, he's not doing his job. His job -- this is the New York state. This is not the federal government. He is making it so that the very institutions we need right now to provide money for people are gun-shy." When Vieira countered: "But they made a mess. He's investigating that," Cuomo replied: "So go after the CEOs. Don't make the companies feel like it's dangerous to lend. If you're trying to buy a home right now, the last thing you want is Cuomo attacking the people, the companies that make the money available for you to buy a house."

1. Using that logic, California shouldn't have tough emissions regulations either.

To rephrase his statement:

This is California. This is not the federal government.

Have I made myself clear, Jim-baby? Learn to read and THINK, dumbass.

Stupid people really piss me off. Especially when they get paid big bucks to publically spew their nonsense.
