Andy Rooney, whose prickly wit was long a mainstay of CBS News and whose homespun commentary on “60 Minutes,” delivered every week from 1978 until 2011, made him a household name, died Friday in New York City.
He was 92 and lived in Manhattan, though he kept a family vacation home in Rensselaerville, N.Y., and the first home he ever purchased, in Rowayton, Conn.
CBS News said in a statement that Mr. Rooney died after complications following minor surgery.
In late September, CBS announced that Mr. Rooney would be making his last regular weekly appearance on “60 Minutes” on Oct. 2. After that, said Jeff Fager, the chairman of CBS News and the program’s executive producer, he would “always have the ability to speak his mind on ‘60 Minutes’ when the urge hits him.”

I bet he is neither right now, especially the atheist part. I am sure he would love to have Lazuras dip his finger in cold water and just put it on the tip of this tongue... but there is a great gulf between Heaven and Hell and for Andy Rooney, it is too late.
Too late for Andy now. There is no peace in Hell... just torment & anguish & wailing & knashing of teeth. He needed to make that decision before departing this life. Instead he chose socialism & atheism. I don't think he is an atheist any longer.
Although I figured the only way that whiney vile ba$tard would retire was after being removed from the set with a sheet draped over his corpse, I didn’t think it would be very long after he left C-BS he’d assume room temperature.
It’s impossible to respond to your garbage. Please quote me directly and show any errors in my posts. You cannot so you intentionally present a garbage post that muddies the waters as you have done on other posts to me. I have earlier reposted my statements. Please respond to them DIRECTLY. Thanks.
Apparently, the doctor was trying to remove Andy’s head from his rectum. It’d been up there too long, alas.
Rooney is a testament to the old saying “ only the good die young “
Nice try.
Go back to post 134 and answer what I've written. There's nothing there you can't respond to and you know it.
Now tell me, how much combat time do you have, again? Doing what? Some of it is in the B-17, right?
Check post 134 and the ones following. Look how the expert suddenly can’t figure out how to answer any questions...
RIP, you old curmudgeon.
Your post if full of insinuations and misrepresentations. As I said, post my ACTUAL statements, refute them properly and I will repond. Since you cannot refute me directly, please stop with the misrepresentations.
Yes he did.
I think you have them by the short hairs.
I was just positing that the guy is a vet of the big one, as was my dad. I didn’t know I would have to defend things I never said.
Fell like I picked up the tar baby.
Best wishes!

Was this an actual regarding Rooney by her?
Was this an actual quote regarding Rooney by her?
I have it on very good authority that Rooney on fact died over eight years ago.
Yes. I may not have it verbatim, but I read it in a book on Patton. It was a reply she wrote to 60 Minutes.
C-BS could prop his rotting corpse up in his chair, lean him over his desk, and nobody would notice other than the stench. The show must go on!
He was drafted into service. He had considered filing CO but reconsidered. Purely coincidental that he, like many of his socialist buddies reconsidered AFTER Hitler attacked their homeland. He served as a correspondent and was quoted as saying that he was only after a good story.
