What the Hell?
Can someone please tell me why, for the love of all things Holy, Andy Rooney has a segment on 60 Minutes?
He just did a spot in which he describes all the difficult choices he has to make every day which, by his own admission, prevent him from accomplishing anything all day. We got to see him flipping through People magazine, getting a haircut, changing his printer cartrige, looking through a printer catalog, and taking a nap. The man is actually flaunting his unproductivity and passing it off somehow as enlightening journalism. Who at the CBS Network is this man sleeping with, and what kind of crazy drugs is that person on?
One instance wouldn't be enough to get me going, but this isn't the first two and a half minutes of my life wasted by Andy Rooney. Past segments from recent memory include him sifting through his kitchen utinsel drawer, reading his mail to his viewers, and tracking down a car he sold to a dealer. The current owner looked horrified when Mr. Rooney showed up at his door. I would be, too.
I tried to ask the Wife for more suggestions, but she said she usually takes the appearance of Andy Rooney as her cue to use the bathroom, grab a snack, pluck her hairs out one-by-one...
Smart woman.
