I can believe I'm bothering to reply to this, but here goes...
Like almost every email that sounds even remotely like this, this email is
bullshit.
Debunked here: "http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/rooney4.asp"
quotes from andy rooney on the subjet:
"About a year ago, I became aware of a more serious theft of my name and it
is so hurtful to my reputation that it calls for legal action against the
thief. Hundreds of people have written asking if I really wrote the 20
detestable remarks made under my name that have had such wide circulation on
the Internet.
Some of the remarks, which I will not repeat here, are viciously racist and
the spirit of the whole thing is nasty, mean and totally inconsistent with
my philosophy of life. It is apparent that the list of comments has been
read by hundreds of thousands of Americans, many of whom must believe that
it accurately represents opinions of mine that I don't dare express in my
column or on television. It is seriously damaging to my reputation."
Another one:
"There's a collection of racist and sexist remarks on the Internet under a
picture of me with the caption 'ANDY ROONEY SAID ON 60 MINUTES.' If I could
find the person who did write it using my name I would sue him."
It's the internet, people.
