Andy Rooney

CBS News 60 Minutes commentator Andy Rooney arrives for the funeral service for longtime CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite at St.Bartholomew's Church in New York, July 23, 2009. REUTERS/ Mike SegarAs aspiring lawyers, we all appreciate attention to detail. But what I appreciate most about this video (click here) is not Andy's attention to the fine print, but rather the fact that all Andy had to do was pick up a newspaper to come up with a pretty good essay. 


I envy writers like Andy: concise, clever, commonsensical. 


Last night, as Andy closed out his final appearance on 60 minutes, he said this about the end: "Writers don't retire, and I'll always be a writer."  Amen to that. :-)
