I watched one of Rooney's segments on plastic packaging and he displayed a number of tools marketed as the way to gain entry to the actual stuff, with him disgusted with the whole exercise.  One of the few I saw and agreed with.

Rooney's 60 Minutes segments were amusing to watch once..when they were about consumer type frustrations. And by that I really mean once. Because he just wasn't that funny. The joke, repeated, ad nauseum week after week was his only gimmick.

Then, and I don't remember when it exactly happened, he changed from being a grumpy old curmudgeon to an angry (and pathetic) old liberal who was pretty much crabby about anyone and anything that wasn't left wing.

I can't remember him ever portraying himself as happy or joyful about anything in life. Not once.

Heck of a legacy. Heck of an epitaph.

Did you ever wonder how Andy Rooney typed all of those stories looking through those bushy eyebrows ? It's not like a make-up girl wasn't standing nearby with a pair of scissors . I wonder if Andy had a pair of scissors in his desk but was afraid to use them . Maybe he had a pair of nail clippers in his desk too . Do you suppose Andy trimmed his toenails in his office ? At his age maybe his toenails looked like corn chips . Do you suppose Andy kept a bag of Fritos in his desk ? Or maybe he bit his toenails like my sister did . She had bushy eyebrows too but almost never typed . Did you ever wonder how somebody could go all the way through college and almost never type ? Maybe it's because she was an art major . Art majors almost never type . They don't have to spell very well either . Did you ever wonder who invented "spell check" ?
