Becky "the Buffet Groupie" Quick, Joe "I Hate Gold and Oil" Kernan and Carl "I Use Metaphors to Hide my Lack of Business Knowledge" Quantinia (?) and the rest of the CNBC cast of charactrers who worship Warren Buffet will have a hard time swallowing this quote from Buffet on his Berkshire results reported Saturday morning that the US economy "will be in shambles throughout 2009 -and for that matter, probably well beyond". Oh-oh......how can one worship Buffet on one hand but pooh-pooh what he says on the other? We eagerly await for the bozos to pontificate on Monday.
