Sorry Sir! but we all have our time on earth. 

Staying active and involved in something like this is what keeps you alive at such an advanced age. I’m a little puzzled why he would quit at 92, and I wonder if this means he’s recently received some bad news and wanted to say a proper goodbye.

He’s made the most of his. Best wishes.

I’m not sure how old you are Nick, but I have watched this phenomenon with parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles. A stage is reached at which everything is so much more difficult, even the simple act of seeing to read, that one get so very tired so very early. It’s in the natural order of things, and “active and involved” takes on a new meaning. 9 holes instead of 18. A smaller Christmas tree. A cruise instead of backpacking. You may be right about some bad news, but he may just be to the point that warm slippers, a glass of sherry by the fire and a good book may be much more attractive than a night on the town.

I wish Andy the best.

Loony Rooney gazoony. Good riddance to an irritating old fossil.

It was nice too see a slightly softer side of Andy in his final essay. He’s made a lasting impression on television. Hope he enjoys his final years.

He was a reporter not hesitant to be at the front lines in WWII, and he even flew in a bomber mission. He also reported from liberated camps. Much of what we know about what our soldiers endured in the war came from his reporters. He was always very supportive of our troops. I shouldn’t wonder you dislike him.

When CBS replaces Andy, the Obama administration can now claim 1 more job saved!

I’m glad you can’t do this forever, frankly.

Well said , Robert.

He made quite the great career by complaining!! Not an easy thing to do!! Maybe 60 Minutes could change it up though, if they decide to replace Rooney, with someone who looks at the bright side of life??

As a staple in the weekly news industry for decades, he will be missed by many!

Meh.

Being a conservative I didn’t always agree with him, but I always found him entertaining in a grouchy-old-man sort of way. And watching him go is a reminder that no matter how good we are at something and no matter how long we do it there comes a day we all have to put it down and head for the rocker – if indeed we’re that lucky.

Godspeed to him.

Hilarious that you left out his admission that the MSM is biased in favor of Democrats. 

Andy is another angry liberal.

Yep, he’s nothing like the anti-American pussies you leftist clowns adore today, huh, weal woyal empoah?

What? No Rush Limbaugh treatment, weal woyal empoah? Once a drug addict always a drug addict, a racist and a homophobe? Once a racist homophobe, not always a racist homophobe???

He [Rooney] also (rather half-heartedly) apologized for comments he made about
homosexuality and race that got him briefly suspended from the network.
(Rooney was quoted in The Advocate
as saying that African Americans “have watered down their genes because
the less intelligent ones are the ones that have the most children,”
and that homosexuality is “inherently dangerous.” Though he denied
making the comments about African Americans, he was suspended for three
months in 1990.)

Liberal double standards. At least Mediaite is great for proving that, day in and day out.

It’s all about Robert, GD. Rooney was suspended in ’99 for 3 months for some very insensitive remarks about gays and blacks, that if anyone but a liberal would have uttered would still find Ms. woyal squealing like a stuck pig to this day. Wight empoah?

Yes, we could count on you to make the retirement of a 92 year old a political event…..

CBS, do us all a favor and just change the name of the show to “57 Minutes.”

“‘I wish I could do this forever,’ Rooney lamented.”

You can! Just come on the internet and bitch for free like the rest of us.

So long, Andy, it’s been great. Yes, you made some horrid mistakes – and paid the price by being suspended for one-quarter of a year which amounts to roughly half of the “60 Minutes” broadcasts that season – but you were also one of the first in the media to decry Bush’s illegal war on Iraq. But most of the time, you simply gave us a warm smile or a good chuckle as the weekend came to a close. Best wishes and I promise to never interrupt your dinner if I should be lucky enough to spot you in a restaurant.

The difference? Rooney apologized – something Rush never does.
The fat one stands by his slurs and takes pride in them.

says the party that keeps wanting secessionists on their presidential ticket.

Maybe you cannot read? He half-heartedly apologized for the gay slurs, and denied the racial slurs. Idiot.

As for the rest of your drivel, you offer no proof, as usual. Idiot.

He was a democrat long before he was a republican. In fact he hung out at the niggarhead ranch as a democrat. I can’t stand him, but prefer Cain. Seems we want a black man on the ticket as much as a woman, and as much as a former democrat, but you’re too stupid to see that? Idiot.

Excuses, Excuses!! Always making excuses for your Republican candidates.  

why r u calling someone idiot….who care about the remarks ???? u need to redefine your values in life because they r leading you no where.
