Isn’t today Tuesday?
He died in 2011
He blasted General Patton. Rooney was not that bright.
Fantastic piece for Veterans day.
Liberals destroy everything they touch.
Now that he’s dead, he won’t have to fret about his 8 vet friends being mad at him for surviving and living a long life while they drew the short straw. Fricking hippie.
I can’t believe the cranky old fossil still draws breath.
So not worthy.
Better men than him died so he could reach old age and disparage their sacrifice.
Andy Looney.
Is he still dead?

I thought this was a stupid screed.
One of life’s little pleasures is I no longer have to hear about what this asshole thinks....at least not in real time!!!
“...Rooney stated that he had been opposed to World War II because he was a pacifist. He recounted that what he saw in those concentration camps made him ashamed that he had opposed the war and permanently changed his opinions about whether “just wars” exist.”
He admitted he was wrong on at least one count, however, he never did find a cure for his constipation which made him an angry man and diarrhea, which endeared him to CBS, both that affected him, by turn, throughout his life
He doesn't.
But he was grumpy til the end. Couldn't stand to watch him; later, could not stand to watch his network.
Was just going to post that. The lesson sure didn’t stick with him.
So apparently the German bombing and missile attacks on mostly civilian targets while he was in London didn’t phase him one bit.
He still votes Democrat, doesn't he?
When I was a kid I watched a lot of war movies. I always thought that war was some sort of glorious adventure. I joined the Marine Corps at 18 and served four years. Then I joined the Army and served another 22. I’ve been to war and I can attest that it is NOT a glorious affair. It is dirty, smelly, violent and repulsive. GEN MacArthur’s quote below is 100% true.
“The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
I despise war but I would rather go and fight it myself than have my children and grandchildren have to fight it later. The best war to prevent a war is to be prepared for war.
I always remember a personal anonymous “ad” on the back page of The Village Voice that read something like this: “To Andy Rooney: I am only a waiter. I did not need to be treated like crap by you because you didn’t like your appetizer.”
