1. Really?

He really said that? I missed 60 Minutes tonight. Please say it is so!

[Bozita]

3. I heard it too.

The original post is quite accurate ... almost verbatim.

4. I couldn't believe it. I was waiting for someone to post this.

That was a thing of beauty, as I pick my jaw up off the floor!

[WiseButAngrySara]

9. LOL! I'm still picking mine up!.....n/t

5. Tis so! I missed much of the show, but I didn't miss that, fortunately...

There's another DU post on this that beat me by a few minutes. Might want to check out that thread. I haven't looked at it yet, so I don't have the link!

7. Hey, WBAS...........

you and I are being psychic today.......:hi:

[WiseButAngrySara]

12. Hey TFAR!!! Was that your other post? I haven't read it yet, and was

going to post that link here too. I am psychic. B*Co. is evil, and they are awaiting their downfall....

:hi: back at ya!

[Algorem]

2. Nice!

6. Thanks Andy!

Even faux news has been giving dubya hell this week. Does my heart good to have him shown to be the insensitive conservative that he is.

10. Glad he's making the point and everything...but I think we all know NYC

is our favorite city. :silly:


On edit---He also thinks Charleston is one of "our" favorite cities? Whaa? No NYC, no Chicago... okay. I understand his point though.

13. Same topic at another DU thread by timeforarevolution:

16. I heard that too, LOUD and CLEAR!!

:applause:

May we hear a lot more of that!

[hollowdweller]

17. He's striking back for having his name pinned to that right wing email.

[Buddyblazon]

18. I quickly created the following email and sent it to my address book

As opposed to the FAKE comments that the neo-conservative apologists emailed widely and attributed to Andy Rooney (ALWAYS check Snopes.com for internet"s" debunking...these cats tend to make stuff up)....the following are the GENUINE comments made by Andy Rooney on 9-11-05 on 60 minutes:

"If we took a vote tomorrow, New Orleans might still be America's favorite city, but George W. Bush probably would not be our favorite president."

Well, wingers, looks like you've lost support (if you ever had any) from Rooney.

Good luck with the rest of America.


Forward all you like.





Anybody want to send it feel free. Anything I can do to chip away at the apologists moral (which should be pretty low at this point).

21. Andy Rooney is usually an ass

but I am sorry I missed this. Perhaps I will have to start watching him again. He has the tendency to be able to offend everyone sooner or later. Maybe that's just his style.

[FlaGranny]

23. Yeah, he is what is affectionately called

a curmudgeon - like Jack Cafferty.

[wryter2000]

22. Yeah

Pretty cool.
