Andy Rooney of '60 Minutes' fame dies
Quote:Andy Rooney, television's most celebrated curmudgeon, died Friday night, about one month after ending his 33-year run as the closing essayist on CBS' top-rated newsmagazine "60 Minutes."

He died in a New York City hospital of complications after minor surgery, according to a CBS statement released Saturday.

Rooney was 92. In a 2010 interview with USA Today, he was asked about retiring and shot back his own question: "Retire? From what? Life?"

He allowed that "I suppose the time may come." It did on Oct. 2, when he delivered his 1,097th and final essay, telling his viewers, "I've done a lot of complaining here, but of all the things I've complained about, I can't complain about my life."

I liked Andy Rooney's dry sense of humor. He was fun to watch.

OMG. Sadshake

I heard about the "minor complications" and thought how those are MAJOR complications when you're old or weak. Uggh - an icon has passed - he'll be missed.

Confirmed, Fox "news" makes you stupid

The ones you are noticing are more terrified than anything else. They are lashing out because they are comfortable; and to acknowledge what is happening is a threat to that comfort. Ignore them, for they are not the voices that will rise in the coming days, months and years. They are not the voices of our collected humanity. They are the old voices of fear and impotence. - Anonymous
