andy rooney

I think for all the things we are told we are supposed to be excited about there are quite a few of us that either don't get it, or don't want to get it. This guy might just be the second coming of Andy Rooney because he doesn't get it either.

Many times I cheered loudly after spending a few minutes with Andy Rooney at the end of 60 Minutes, other times I thought the man was a total ass. I think Andy would have appreciated the fact that his words could move me to such emotions.

I like kids and old people. Thus, I like Andy Rooney. Yeah, I know he likes to moan and complain a lot. But to me and a lot of Americans, his commentary is spot on. He's a pretty good writer too.

After 33 years on the air with CBS's "60 Minutes", tonight will be the last, and 1,097th broadcast, for Andy Rooney. 92 years old and just now retiring....there is hope for all of us! Mr Rooney joined CBS in 1949, and since the first broadcast of "60 Minutes" in 1968, he has been a contributor in one way or another...
