Warren Buffett's latest investment: Hillary Clinton

The Berkshire Hathaway CEO donated $25,000 in the third quarter to Ready for Hillary, a political organization that says it is laying the groundwork for a Clinton presidential run in 2016.

Warren Buffett is putting his money where his mouth is when it comes to Hillary Clinton.

"I think that she would do better if she was less angry and demonizing," the 84-year-old Berkshire Hathaway CEO said of the fiery Democratic senator, who has often articulated anti-Wall Street positions, on Monday, according to Business Insider. "I'm not sure that I've fully convinced Elizabeth Warren that that's the way to go."

If this is also ad hominem, then we really wronged Rmoney for criticizing his wealthy donors. Maybe an apology is in order?
