Jim Cramer Insulted By Sylvian Raynes On CNBC, Erin Burnett Kicks Raynes Off Show (VIDEO)


Jim Cramer Insulted By Sylvian Raynes On CNBC, Erin Burnett Kicks Raynes Off Show (VIDEO)

Sylvian Raynes of RSR Consulting is unlikely to be asked back on CNBC after yesterday's performance during a segment hosted by Erin Burnett.

Burnett had Raynes on to discuss the fraud charges against Goldman Sachs. He thanked her for inviting him, and then promptly began insulting her show and personally going after CNBC's Jim Cramer, a Goldman Sachs alum who was also on the panel.

Raynes accused Burnett of only having guests on who are "public relations officers for Goldman," then asked her if "it's okay if I'm a little critical." Burnett objected to his charge, but Raynes had already moved on to insulting the intelligence of Cramer: "I want to remain shallow in deference to Mr. Cramer."

Raynes made a couple points against Goldman before Burnett cut to commercial, telling the audience, "We'll be back in just a second. Sylvian will not be with us. Sylvian, got to be more polite than that."

The whole exchange is bizarre, including the casually monotone voice in which Raynes let's his insults fly.

1. Because Erin Burnett worked at Goldman Sachs also..
and has close ties to those criminals.

2. I happened to have watched that segment,
and I was thinking....wow, someone on CNBC making some sense.
It was refreshing!

3. Didn't see this bit but saw enough of Cramer acting as Goldman's apologist to suspect
Cramer deserved much worse insults than Raynes handed out. :P

4. Erin and Jim had a fling a while back.
At least that was the rumor back when I was on a ton of financial boards and also still watching CNBC.

They discussed it not as rumor at all, but just a fact related by those who worked around these two. So doesn't suprise me to hear that Erin would go this far in doing a smack down of someone who dissed her former fling-ee.
