Andy Rooney should change his name to Andy Looney.

I think Rush already has ... he attributed that insane quote to 'Andy Looney' on his show today.

[eyespysomething]

LOL, I udes to enjoy him. You know, back in the 70's.

When I was stupid!

[ The day John F. Kennedy was assassinated was a bad day. It was the death of just one man, but JFK was so very American that we all died a little when he died. ]

Sad to say JFK was even dumber than Andy Rooney..

[Disambiguator]

Andy Whooney?

[Lazamataz]

He's senile.

And can he PLEASE take a freakin' weedwhacker to those eyebrows?

[weegee]

The Clinton Administration marked the anniversary of the OKC Bombing for years. It was a solitary attack by "lone nuts".

The WTC attack was a larger coordinated series of attacks.

"..but JFK was so very American..."

No he wasn't. His "image" as created by his supporters and enabled by the MSM, PORTRAYED him as "very American".

"Very American" Americans don't sleep with East German spy chicks while they have the Secret Service guard the door.

"Very American" Presidents don't get there by having their daddy cut a deal with the Chicago mafia.

[weegee]

rhymes with loony and Clooney....

If nobody covers Andy up with dirt, he's never going to believe he's dead.

Don't forget that stake through his heart.

Andy Rooney became senile about a decade ago.

Sad.

however, he suggested the fault for terrorism lies with American behavior, not the murderous ideology of terrorists who want to destroy Western democratic culture: “But might be better if we figured out how to behave as a nation in a way that wouldn't make so many people in the world want to kill us."
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

by people I assume he means muslims as I don't see any other peoples trying to kill us. And he's right of course. It is our fault that we choose to be infidels, we could always submit, which, I guess is what rooney is advocating.

[nickcarraway]

I guess they give U.S. citizens the biggest tax cut in history either...

[Digger]

I haven't seen 60 minutes in years, but was tuned in last evening waiting for "9/11" to begin (late). My husband and I just stared at each other with our mouths open, when Rooney finished.

I might have seen some early on shows but haven't seen it in decades. Think about it. Was anything ever accomplished by giving them your hour of time. You can read their one sided slant in 30 seconds the next day.

[beansox]

I accidently caught it myself. I was in the ladies room. I didnt even finish my business I was so heated over it. I couldnt beleive what I heard coming out of his mouth. Outrageous!

[Disambiguator]

He may be dead, but his eyebrows will live forever.

"LOL, I udes to enjoy him. You know, back in the 70's.
When I was stupid!"

You weren't stupid. He's still great when he talks about things like can openers and flush toilets.

[KosmicKitty]

Yeah, our behavior. Snort

We're breathing - that's the terrorists problem w/ us!!

[roses of sharon]

It is past time for serious men to storm the broadcast orgs and take over TV news.

These old leftists have been reduced to sarcasm, serious events have completely overtaken them.

[GOP_1900AD]

If true, then I hereby present Exhibit A, Andy Rooney.

Liberalism is a mental disorder!!!

[zipper]

Andy needs to be put out to pasture-- the same pasture as Dan Rather
