I should have checked Snopes out too. It did seem really overboard cranky.

Here's the lowdown from snopes.com on the notoriously Neanderthal
"Andy Rooney" piece that's been making the rounds.

It doesn't really ring true anyway--Andy is cranky, but he is
old-fashioned civil-libertarian cranky, not bigoted and homophobic
cranky, bless his cranky heart.

A similar essay, called "A Bad American" has also been making the
rounds, attributed to George Carlin, who has also disowned it.
