Which makes me wonder if his retirement was because of failing health.

I am going to miss Andy Rooney and those bushy eyebrows of his. I watched 60 Minutes fairly regularly specifically to see his five minute rant at the end of the show.

It's very possible. Here's his last broadcast, if you didn't catch it. His breathing is rough in it. But as he said, he had a good life.

My favorite part was the Amazing Race ad at the bottom that butted in. Smiley: disappointed

He should of had a final final rant and ranted about how his rant was interrupted by an ad.

His books are good, btw, people. Mostly mildly amusing essays, much like his commentaries. Overall, they are great reads, especially the older stuff.

He was great. I've watched him for years. After he made some not so wise comments he was suspended. Then the shows ratings fell dramatically so the brought him back.

Wow, I missed this one too.

I always did like his little segment. I have a few of his books, too, somewhere.
