Andy Rooney is retiring from 60 minutes

so this coming sunday marks the end of the Andy Rooney era on 60 minutes. now Rooney to me is why we have blogs and commentary segements. now he was a Grinch to quite a few people and to others just spoke his mind and told it like it is. I wish there were more people like him because his writing and commentary speak directly and his dry humor which is comical is much needed even more than before. he has a way of speaking to you that makes you understand and then question what he is talking about. he pulls no punches and in a classy move 60 minutes says there isn't any replacement and that he might come back from time to time to do a segement. you don't replace that kind of level of honest. he is the last of his breed in presenting something that truly makes you think and feel connected and yet question what its all about again.
