Line Up to Take Your Shots at Eddie

I thought there might be a day where someone didn't trash Sears (SHLD - commentary - Cramer's Take). But of course, that's foolish. It is important for every journalist to take a shot at Eddie "Pinata" Lampert. This time it was my old friend Peter Eavis, who is really fabulous, and I have to admit had a lot of good stuff in it.

Now, I didn't regard it as new, but at last it didn't quote those analysts who exist only to say negative things about the stores.

Understand that without a turn in housing, I too have a very negative view of the future of Sears. But I also have it for Home Depot (HD - commentary - Cramer's Take), yet that company's somehow immune from criticism.

I know that no one can ever feel "sympathy" for Eddie -- being that he is rich -- but forgive me for breaking that negative brethren pact. I say "ENOUGH" of the Eddie criticism. Find someone else to knock.

At the time of publication, Cramer was long Sears.
