|    13 June 2007 - Jim Cramer, Patty Griffin    |

      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Jim Cramer:        - Cramer is high-strung. How does he calm down? Chemistry; he       takes out prescriptions and there's powder on his desk. He has a       trainer; mostly he channels his rage into his show.                - He used to garden, but it became competitive. New Jersey       Beefsteak tomatoes, you see, and you have to be in the game, it's about       *winning*.                - Has he talked to anybody about what's wrong with him? Teams       of professionals, stadiums of professionals; they agree, it makes a       decent show, nothing's going to change. A hyperthyroid condition?       That's what the other pills are for.                - He has no self-esteem; critics can't rival his own       self-loathing. No one is more deserving of a TV show than he is, and       nobody is less deserving. With no stock quotes he'd be nothing.       Sister-mother-sister-mother. He may need more pills. He can't believe       people want his picture.                - He dresses up a lot, as Mao for a China show; in a diaper for       suggesting Kimberly-Clark. You see a guy wearing a diaper you're going       to listen to what he has to say, and not switch to Lou Dobbs. Conan       differs from that opinion; he'd stop and look, there's a 64-year-old man       in a diaper, but he wouldn't listen to his stock advice.                - He gets onto something about immigrants, and he favors Olive       Garden, something about swimming pools and he rants about swimming in a       giant salad swimming pool, which is why he wants to buy Olive Garden,       and the oil wrecked his soup which is fine because it (?) was a       knock-off.                - Think you get rich with stocks? It's about saving! Conan       wants a transcript of this interview. Who else do you get stock advice       from but someone who's crazy? There's all different names on the       prescriptions.                - The most upset Conan gets is when he's in traffic. What is       Cramer's road rage like? He leaves the show, he's in a diaper, his       pills are empty, Lou Dobbs is on the radio, and everybody cuts him off!       He honks and honks and honks, rolls down the window, says all sorts of       things from the locker room and ... Tim Carlson, what are you talking       about? ``I'm not in your brain, Jim. You know Billy McGee, right?''       He's in our country? You never know who has a gun in your glove       compartment! So he says, I'm the guy!                - Conan points out the Second Amendment was written when people       didn't know about traffic jams, and guns were muskets that took 40       minutes to load and were 15 feet long.                - Cramer's hero is Steven Seagal; here's a picture of him in a       Mao jacket carrying a fish. Hard To Kill is *the* best movie ever made,       which Conan believes because he raised his voice, and it's about the       media. He describes the movie plot. Seagal's character says the       villains put him in a coma because he had a superior frame of mind. He       kills everyone. Cramer calls that a good attitude.                     Patty Griffin:        - From 'Children Running Through': No Bad News, I think. Not       really my style, although closer to it than Monday's musical guest was.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
