Andy Rooney divinely declares Mel Gibson a 'wacko'

In a very odd 20/20 piece, Andy Rooney said a few things of note:


  1. God is speaking to Mr. Rooney, despite our doubts
  2. Bush will win in a landslide this year, despite all evidence to the contrary (NOTE: this came directly to Andy from God, so Kerry should just drop out, right?)
  3. Mel Gibson and Pat Robertson are "wackos" (again, from God)

I'm thinking that most of us feel Rooney is the wacko at this point! I have some sympathy for his criticism of Pat Robertson, who has some very odd ways of interpreting Scripture, but to suggest that God told you someone is a "wacko" is off the charts nuts.

Is this simply a ploy for media attention? Is Rooney just not a fan of The Passion of the Christ? I don't know, but it's odd either way.

God bless,
Jay

Mel Gibson and Pat Robertson are wackos.

I don't suppose Janet would care to elaborate on her declaration regarding Mel Gibson & Pat Robertson.

On second thought, don't bother. It's rather pointless to engage in dialog with someone who resorts to name-calling.

Wacko's for Christ? Count me in that group!

In Christ,

Andy Rooney continues to look looney. He declares that believers are "absurd." Andy's starting to believe his own press releases . . .
