Andy Rooney is Benjamin Button

I’m considering sueing CBS in my daughter’s name for plagiarizing the conversation she has with me every afternoon when I pick her up from school.  The video above is his portion of this week’s 60 Minutes where in less than 3 minutes he covers the following topics:  the holidays, the election (it was good was his take on it), the superbowl, the oscars, TV ratings, TV in August, how to spell February, which months are fun, endings suck, football starts earlier than it used to, a quick pause to check his own grammar, NY has weather, LA doesn’t, all movies are the same, do they sell more clothes in NY because of the weather, he owns one suit.

This is the exact flow of any conversation with a 5 year old as long as no one interrupts them.  I don’t watch 60 minutes very often, but I know he has had real points in the past.  Like the time he made the point that too much gay sex leads to premature death, Kurt Cobain was a pussy for killing himself, and the time he said there is no god.  So why if he’s taken a stance so many other times is he allowed to ramble now?  I think it’s obvious.  He’s not 80 he’s 5 and Leslie Stahl is protecting him because she fell in love with him in the 80’s when he was 30.
