Andy Rooney to Katie: Welcome to CBS, Now Get Out
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 04/05/2006 7:35:01 PM PDT by sonsofliberty2000

In an appearance today on "Imus in the Morning," Andy Rooney quickly turned down the temperature in the CBS newsroom.

Don Imus: "So what do you think of these changes at CBS News?"

Andy Rooney: "I’m not enthusiastic about it. I think everybody likes Katie Couric, I mean how can you not like Katie Couric. But, I don’t know anybody at CBS News who is pleased that she’s coming here."

Andy is just ticked off because she lowered the average age there by about 10 years.

"How can you not like Katie Couric?"

Easy. Just listen to her.

Andy and Katie. Two peas in a pod who'll probably treat each other like a dog and a cat in a gunny sack.

Rather's gone. Wallace is retiring. Katie is replacing Schieffer. You'd think Andy would see the writing on the wall. Better gracefully retire while you can.

Yes, but CBS news people are so dumb that even Katie raised the average IQ there.

Andy's still grumpy about the Internet myths he's allegedly written.

Let's cheer him up and start a new one tonight. Everyone get your favorite syrupy tearjerker email and send it to 100 friends and credit Andy Rooney with writing it. He just hates that.

Rooney probably has controlling interest in the firm. He'll just get older and shrivel up like a raisin on camera.

Rush always used to refer to her as "The *Perky* Katie Couric".

Then a few years ago he stopped using that modifier with her name, and I have not heard him use it since.

Did she threaten to sue him over it, or what?

Just wondering...

He still calls her something like that. "The Perky One" I think.
