It costs at least $5.00 to get from NYC to NJ because of bridge and tunnel tolls, so unless his car has a 50 gallon tank he's in the red on that score alone.

Based on personal experience my thought precisely. Further, I may be wrong ... but doesn't Rooney live in CT?

You may be right; many of the media high-and-mighty live up there. Except for the right-wingers like Hannity and Bo Snerdley, who live in NJ. Well at least Snerdley used to live there.

Makes Rooney's statement even more unbelievable.

Maybe he has his chauffer drive the car a minimum of two hours (each way) to get from southern CT to north Jersey to fill up. Yeah, right.

Oh, and I forgot. You don't have to pay to get out of NYC to NJ, but you do have to pay to go the other way.

There are ways to get from southern CT to NJ without going through NYC at all, but they still involve significant tolls.

My sister was a manager of a book store in CT and Looney was a guest speaker.He drove himself to the bookstore and when he got into town he stopped and asked for directions to the store. The lady said to him "Are you going to see Andy Rooney at the store?" He told my sister the story when he arrived.Personally I think the guy is a clown.
