good riddance!
CA....
The 2nd paragraph about the “simple formula” is spot on. Peeing on this old commies grave would give me great satisfaction. The stench of anti American sentiment that permeates the walls of the 60 Minutes studios must be impossible for any liberty loving American to bare.
And why is God so Judgmental of me? I didn't even think there was a God....
Like him or not, I always kind of thought of Andy as a kind of Winnebago Man sans the foul language.
Youtube Winnebago Man (language warning, he was having a bad day making a sales training video):

or, ask point blank, "have you stopped beating your wife?"
It was (I call it 'was' because I stopped watching it years ago) a horribly left-wing show . . . many, many years ago,
Watching 60 Minutes used to be a weekend ritual in our house. I remember well the last time I watched:
We were based in Washington, DC in the early ‘90s. I was returning from a trip and the newsstand at IAD had run out of the Washington Post. Reluctantly, I picked up a copy of the Washington Times.
After reading an extended piece there, I watched the same subject covered that evening on 60 Minutes and realized what left wing scumbags they were. That’s the last time I watched. (I’ve been a Times subscriber to their weekly edition since then.)
“Peeing on this old commies grave would give me great satisfaction.”
I do hope that:
1. You tolerate long lines well.
2. You remember to bring a camp chair and food.
;-)
60 minutes lost all creditability when they covered the woman’s suit against Audi for “unintended acceleration”. Some woman killed her son by pinning him to the garage and sued Audi for the car mysteriously accelerating. She could not accept the fact her stupidity killed him and not the car. 60 minutes in an effort to help the lawyers did a story on it. No matter what they did they could not get the car to overcome the brakes. So for their audience they just faked it. In the end both the Canadian and US departments of transportation agreed she pushed the wrong petal. They followed that great reporting with the one where they placed explosives in GM pickups to claim the gas tank was dangerous. The only thing at risk in both stories was the truth.
Has Tom Sowell ever been on Sixty Minutes? Sowell is regarded by many conservatives, and a few converted liberals like David Mamet, as the smartest man in the country. He’s certainly on of the most influential thinkers in the country. Why hasn’t Sixty Minutes deigned to give him time on their program?
“I do hope that:
1. You tolerate long lines well.
2. You remember to bring a camp chair and food”
...LOL!!
So that makes Rooney a whore or a shill.
No, wait,....
Yep, I got it, both.
Good ridance to Andy Rooney. He was a fool and a foul mouth old man who hadn’t had a clear thought in 30 years.
As they would say in China: So rong, Andy Looney.
Professor Sowell isn't that easy to get. He thinks print is his medium.Besides the fact that journalists are interested in whatever promotes journalism (i.e., what promotes socialism), and they therefore won't give any conservative a fair shake and Sowell knows it.
Clearly you don’t get it /s. Sixty Minutes would never in a million years feature any well-spoken conservative, let alone an intellectual powerhouse like Dr. Sowell.
And while we’re on the subject of the moral bankruptcy of Sixty Minutes, do you recall around 1994 when a young woman already dying of AIDS unknowingly contracted from her gay dentist, testified before Congress about the need for full disclosure? Big liberal toughguy Mike Wallace blasted her for her homophobia and insensitivity AFTER SHE HAD DIED.
There followed a furor that forced Wallace to issue a clenched teeth apology on the air, though his eyes said “I’d like to punch out every one of you rightwing b@stards who made me do this!”
Sixty Minutes and its crew can go straight to you-know-where. I hope the rocks fall on them.
I clearly get it pal.
Did you catch the sarc /s notice at the end of “you don’t get it”?
Just askin’.
