Quick-link to Andy Rooney
by Anonymous at 9:36 AM
This column was forwarded to me by a friend of mine. I implore you to read it. It's about baseball (kind of), but even if baseball is not your thing, I'm still imploring you to read it. Please.
See if you can spot the sexism, racism, and general insanity of Andy Rooney. How is this man still alive?
Maybe he isn't.
So..what was the article about again?
It's clear to me that Andy died years ago and my a-hole neighbor Bob has been writing his column.
Or was he always this much of a jerk? I've never listened or read his stuff, so I wouldn't know.
Wow...and I loved Andy Rooney, especially in 1938's Boys Town opposite Spencer Tracy...
I particularly liked the last paragraph where he shares an uninteresting anecdote from his High School days that has nothing to do with the entire article, and that's how he ends it. I can only assume he got paid to write that.
He "...has opinions, and some of them are pretty stupid."
