- Political satirist and prolific author P.J. O’Rourke has died at 74. In 1996, O'Rourke briefly joined 60 Minutes as a commentator. About presidential character, he observed: “We don't want somebody in the White House sniffing paint and pawning the Green Room antiques.”
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

Ed Bradley, P. J. O'Rourke, and Molly Ivins: R.I.P.
This one hurts. Became aware of PJ in the mid 70's when I began to read the National Lampoon. From there became a lifelong fan. Bought and read every book he ever wrote. Brilliant, insightful and incredibly funny. A huge loss. RIP 🙏

Thanks for your humor, P.J.!
Clearly that hasn’t been the case since 2016
Sadly, the whole Trump era has more than proven that Molly's faith was sorely misplaced.
Yep. Trump showed up for work each day trying to deliver upon the simple promises he made of a more secure and prosperous nation while being relentlessly and criminally undermined by his political opponents, their media lackeys and morally bereft enablers.
Well we had someone clogging toilets with documents...it kind make sense now that he was so worry with water pressure 🙄
No proof

Somehow, Rest in Peace just doesn't seem appropriate for America's funniest political author. As a fellow New Hampshirite, a recovering leftist and someone who's been reading O'Rourke since he wrote for Rolling Stone, I will greatly miss his shrewd political insights, biting satirical wit and general understanding of the human condition.
From the UK at 49 years old, he was my go to humourist as a teenage reader in the 80s.
'Vale' (which I think means 'farewell') works just fine.
When it comes to the world of investing,most people don't know where to start. Fortunately great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance
Amazing!!!…I also started treading with Edward Jones, He’s the best at what he does with an initial investment of $2500 Canadian I made up to $8450 profit in just a week of trading with him, his strategies are mind blowing
I also trade with Mr Edward , and I must say he makes money making seem a whole lot easier right now I’m a single parent and I pay the bills comfortably since I met Edward Jones he’s absolutely amazing and I recommend him the best
I have seen a lot of recommendation about Edward Jones, Please how do i get in touch with Mr Edward? I would love to trade $2000 with him
I'm happy to see Mr Edward Jones mentioned,he is recognized in the society,My husband recommended him to me after Investing £1200 and he has really help us in time of this pandemic
Been reading through the comments and when he mentioned Mr Edward Jones I know he was right! He has been my investment manager for a long and I’m happy with his services
60 MINUTES LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, but then they got rid of Lara Logan?
Molly Evans a beautiful heart of gold and one tough gal... who could tangle with any fast talking dude...🤠
Loved ya...and always will Mollie you had grit, charm and a wonderful character/perspective/personality.

Another hero gone. Best political humourist I've ever read.
PJ O'Rourke inspired me to major in Journalism.
20 years later, conservative PJ O'Rourke would endorse Hilary Clinton over Trump.
Trump is that aweful and not a real conservative.Turned off several real conservatives like George Will, Bill Kristol and myself, just to name a few.
That's because Hillary Clinton is more conservative than Trump!
Let's go watching now congratulation
Ha Lesley Stahl did you know Trump was spied on
O'Rourke was a trumper
..until he opened his mouth.
I would like to do a little survey: Since WW2, how would you rate the various US presidents in terms of character? Not with whether or not you agreed with their policies, but with the person as human being. Did anyone stand out to you in terms of their character, good or bad? OK, go!
Eisenhower probably cheated on his wife, but he stood up for Egypt against Britain and France in the Suez Crisis because he thought it was right. Also, instead of scoring points by embracing McCarthyism he worked to shut it down. Those were principled stands.
Eisenhower
Carter
HW Bush
Obama
Ford
Reagan
Kennedy
W Bush
Biden
Johnson
Clinton
Nixon
Trump
In that order
It all starts with Harry Truman and descends from there.
Jimmy Carter
O’Rourke turned into such a tool.
I wish Ivins was still around.
That pawning part... Erm...
Was this meant as an apology for your lack of character?
Lets go back to Leslie telling Trump nobody spied on him shall we.
And she's right, no one spied on him. Even Durham didn't say that.
Can 60 Minutes "verify" everything that's said in this segment? Seems like these are all opinions and opinions can't be "verified"
Be especially wary of any candidate who claims to be morally superior to any other. Right Brandon?
Yeah! And Trump is a stable genius!
I dont care
Hey 60 minutes will Lesley Stahl apologize to the American people?
What does she need to apologize for I'm not familiar with her ?
@@juniorjohnson5961 it's the right wing media's new distraction, since they have to take the heat off of Trump stealing classified government records and flushing some of them down the toilet. Trump thinks his claims of his campaign and presidency being spied on are vindicated, even though that wasn't what was revealed in the filings. The only thing the filing said was someone was charged with lying to the FBI (the same thing many members of the Trump campaign were found guilty of as well). Much like Arizonas Cyber Ninja Audit, conservatives and trumpers are setting their hopes way too high
It won't be another president for some year's
apoligize now to president trump
How does one "apoligize?"
@@genghiscan2918 im sure they will figure it out if they care about their ratings
Trump has to apologize to America!
