Lay off Mickey Rooney
Personal to Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune:
Lay off Mickey Rooney. He's made a movie or TV show appearance almost every year since 1926. He's the last living link to the silent era. He's one of the few people left who can say he sat down and had conversations with Clark Gable, Louis B. Mayer, Spencer Tracy, Jimmy Cagney, and Judy Garland.
It's idiots like you who pushed Frank Sinatra off the stage at The Grammys (for which a very classy Gary Shandling apologized) in what turned out to be his last televised appearance.
When is this country ever going to celebrate its' history and its' legends instead of trying to tear them down? How are our young people going to learn that there was a history before they arrived on this earth when no talent writers such as yourself think it's hip to denigrate people who have achieved more than you will ever hope to.
For my money, I would say skip the awards and the poorly designed frocks which you care so much about, and give Mickey Rooney the damned mic and let him spin stories about the history of Hollywood for as long as he has the breath to talk.
You're lame Maureen Ryan
