Impeachment: A wise, old TV curmudgeon had it right

After viewing all the juvenile rancor, barbs, insults and taunts spewed out during the impeachment fiasco, I can’t help but recall something the late Andy Rooney (you know, the bushy eye-browed curmudgeon) said one time on “60 Minutes”:

“The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.”

We shouldn’t forget, the weaker the argument the stronger the words.

Perhaps we’d be better off if we were surrounded by more open minds and fewer open mouths.
