Andy Rooney: I Was Wrong, Bush Was Right

Thursday, April 10, 2003 8:53 a.m. EDT

CBS "60 Minutes" commentator Andy Rooney has become the first big media personality to admit that he was wrong to oppose President Bush's decision to liberate Iraq.

"I have not been a supporter of his. I did not vote for him. And I was very critical of what he did here," Rooney told radio host Don Imus Thursday morning.

"And I must say that fortunately, he's president and I'm not," the former Stars and Stripes correspondent confessed. "It appears as though he did the right thing and I didn't think he was doing the right thing.

"And, if he's listening ..." Rooney added, before trailing off into laughter.

Later in the broadcast Imus teased CNN's Jeff Greenfield about how his network's notorious Bush-hating newswoman Judy Woodruff was reacting to scenes of jubilant Iraqis celebrating their liberation and kissing Bush's picture.

"We just got this in from AP," Imus said in a serious tone. "A suicide watch has been put on Judy Woodruff."

Greenfield didn't sound particularly amused by the taunt.
