Andy Rooney, 1919-2011: R.I.P.

92 years old, he retired just last month from his position as commentator on 60 Minutes.

I read several of his books during the early 1980's, when some of them became bestsellers. Didn't watch 60 Minutes all that much. I think he probably should have retired from CBS long before he did, and that he was kept on as sort of a living memento of the Murrow/Cronkite ere at the network.
