"Apparently some doddering old fart in Omaha, Nebraska published a celebratory letter yesterday."
"I tend to prefer my moral fiber to come unencumbered by six cups of refined sugar and smug self satisfaction per serving. I know, I know: I am downright un-American."
And finally, in the fourth paragraph, the author finally starts the story with "Aaannnyhoo".
The author doesn't provide much of a counterpoint: underneath the layers of rudeness and rhetorical flourishes, the only point of the article is that Mr. Buffet generally purchases companies for less than what the seller would receive in an auction managed by investment bankers.
This rebuts none of Mr. Buffet's points (not even those brought up in the parts of the letter that the author quotes), nor is it very insightful. Mr. Buffet has always ascribed to and publicly stated that he looks for deals, buying companies when they are cheap.

This guy is a pretty insufferable writer.
