Writer and 60 Minutes commentator Andy Rooney (who I think is a great writer and has been dumped on by has-been comedians for far too long) testified in court yesterday during a fraud trial involving a speakers bureau that owes numerous celebrities (including Magic Johnson, Titanic researcher Robert Ballard, and astronaut Scott Carpenter) thousands of dollars. It's great to see that Rooney is still Rooney, even when he's on the witness stand, questioning the wording of the oath (!) and answering the defense lawyer's question of how he found the defendent's address by saying "the phone book" when hunting him down to collect his own owed fees. He eventually got them after such persistence.. You ever wonder why Andy Rooney testifed in court?
