Warren Buffett Opens Up About Love Affair With Katharine Graham

New York Daily News:

The world's richest man is finally opening up about his complicated love life.

Warren Buffett, whose shrewd investing has swelled his Berkshire Hathaway assets to nearly $278 billion, reveals in a new biography that "the biggest mistake I ever made" was letting his late wife, Susie, walk out the door of their Omaha home.

Buffett, 78, who spent thousands of hours talking with author Alice Schroeder for her engrossing book "The Snowball," admits he gave Susie plenty of reasons to leave.

"Warren Buffett Opens Up About Love Affair..."

Please, I just ate dinner.

I wonder why the tendency to pooh-pooh this admitted affair between Buffett and Graham while devoting thousands of posts about a completely fabricated affair, one which never existed and for which there was no evidence, between Sarah Palin and her husband's business partner? Do you think there is bias on this site? Tell me it isn't so!

OH PUHLEEZE!!! We are in the WORST WORLDWIDE FINANCIAL MELTDOWN IN HISTORY and the richest man on the planet finally opens his mouth....T­O TELL US ALL ABOUT HIS "LOVE" LIFE??

If this is all you have to offer all us floundering little minions at this juncture, Buffy, I have one big suggestion for the direction of your future love life---GO EFF YOURSELF!!

Screw his love affair,
I want to know why Treasury Secretary Paulson was talking to Buffet before telling U.S. citizens that he wanted a Wall Street bailout.
And then Buffet ends up with a sweetheart deal of around $115 Billion deal of price reduced stock.
Screw the affair. What about this inside deal???

"Warren Buffett's $5 billion investment in Goldman Sachs has been hailed a signal of a bottom to the financial crisis. Whether the stock market agrees remains to be seen -- and shares were off to a fitting start on Wednesday.

Beyond restoring some measure of confidence to a frazzled market, what Buffett has done is provide the government a roadmap to how to invest in struggling banks, says Lawrence White, economics professor at NYU's Stern School.

As with the government's $85 billion loan to AIG, Buffett is getting sweet terms on his investment in Goldman:

A 10% yield on $5 billion in preferred stock.
Warrants to buy up another $5 billion of Goldman common stock at $115, or 8% below Tuesday's closing price.

"The government taking equity [makes sense], if it's not going to close the place down -- if it's going to prop it up," White says.

But the professor, who was a board member of the Federal Home Loan Bank in the 1980s, does not believe Buffett's deal with Goldman -- and/or Mitsubishi UFJ's investment in Morgan earlier this week -- suggests there is enough private capital to negate the need for government involvement.

Oh Lord......­..please. Do we have to go there?

[one4obama]

Why do all these old people (like Barbara Walters) think we want to know about their romps?

While they think it shows that at one they they were quite desirable, all it succeeds in doing is to leave lasting visions in our heads. And they ain't pretty!

Whew! Thank god it was Graham....­.I was expecting Bradley.

corrections it's quietly, not quitly & placed, not place. Memories of youth play hell with my spelling & syntax. Oh, for another attack of sin.

Ms Graham, a librule, had no taste for tact & romance. I mean tossing the key to Warren in public when she wanted some [one to scratch that itch]. Kept men of the old money women usually found the lady's key & lubricated condoms had been quickly, quitly place in the waist band of their pants as the party ended. If you show off some other old bawd would be tempted to steal your man for spite.

I was uncomfortable when we had to listen to all the talk about Britney's sex life.

Lewarning about Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton was just weird (but just the idea of Thornton is kinda weird).

But Buffett? AND Katherine Grham? Creepy.

[StarkRavingNakedEmperor]

Are you kidding?? Angelina & Billy Bob are both gorgeous! You cant imagine those two together doing the Wild Thang!?

[SailFree]

Right, enough about a real affair between liberals! Let's get back to rank vile speculation about Sarah Palin!

[boogiewoman]

Grandparents? Got to get this out of my head. Not good

[schatsie]

my prior post was over the line... Sorry about that,, but I still believe this was an ugly thing to do to his children..­..

[AbbyStorm]

I just need to say this out loud ...NO ONE WANTS THIS VISUAL WARREN ...PLEASE! I saw this headline..­.and I had some mini-vomit come up! Love you Warren, you are a super rich and generous individual, but keep it to yourself..­.PLEASE! Ogod. I need some pepto and a mind eraser!

[InfiniteShibumi]

I knew it! (Sorry, it's a DC thing...)

A while ago our heroes were the likes of Daniel Boone, Davy Crochett, Thomas Edison, Bucker T. Washington, Henry Ford and other captains of industry accompanied by the brilliant scientists who have transformed our lives from servants to masters of our environment.
Now are heroes are the mediia created fast buck, insider trading, opportunistic wheeler-dealers that denude our working, productive citizentry for their own previleged status and power. We are entering a coarser, more primitive culture and existence.
