Andy Rooney victim of another internet hoax

An email is going around with a racist commentary falsely attributed to Andy Rooney. “I suppose it’s not important, but I hate the fact that people think I’ve been writing these things,” he said. “That’s hurtful to me.” Rooney is a frequent victim of internet hoaxes. Another commentary falsely circulated under his name praises the virtues of women over age 30. He tracked down the address, only to discover it was a post office box. “I don’t know what I would have done,” said Rooney, who turns 88 next month. “Nothing physical.”
