On the Mend
Filed under: Media Minute
According to the son of Mike Wallace, the veteran 60 Minutes newsman is recovering a-OK from a recent fall that scared the docs who were watching his recovery post triple bypass surgery.
Doctors hospitalized him, explained the younger Wallace, because he's on a blood thinner and they wanted to make sure "that he didn't bleed out."
Though Wallace's heart "is working just fine" the news legend is done with TV at the age of 90.
Wallace's son reports, "His plans are to be healthy enough to go up to Martha's Vineyard for the summer. And since I spend two weeks with him every year, I said to him, in terms of his rehab, 'Don't screw it up, because you're going to wreck my vacation.'"
Uhmmm, you should be thinking about more important things besides your "vacation" - douche!

he isn't a douche. he is trying to make light of this terrible thing that has happened to him and his family.
jeez perez, be more understanding!
Scary
LOL
JEEZ! It was a joke!
Hey Perez you dumbass!!! Did you stop to think that maybe he was trying to make light of the situation for his father? It doesn't hurt to smile and laugh once in a while.
Considering that he spends time with his father every year I don't think there was any malicious intent. Go back to reporting on LezLo and the rest of the Hollywood brats.
What an idiot!
"Gee, thanks Dad! You made it all possible for me to be a trust-fund piece o' shit!!!"
See you losers at the Vin!!!
I think the son meant his vacay would be ruined if he wasn't able to spend time with his dad… at least I hope that's what he meant!
First!
He's joking about the vacation plans, you do that when you're scared. Don't be an ass Perez. FAIL!!
first
Perez, you are a complete idiot. Have you ever joked with a family member?
You are the douche.
im sure he was kidding perez.
lighten up…
HEY PEREZ! TELL EVERYONE THE GOSSIP ABOUT YOUR MEET AND GREET FOR YOUR ILL FATED CLOTHING LINE LAUNCH!!!!
FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!
HILARIOUS!
SHOW PICS! COME ON!
TALK ABOUT HOW MISERABLE YOU WERE!
WWW.THEDIRTY.COM GO SEE FOR YOUR SELF!
Ummm…Mario, clearly, his son was trying to stay lighthearted and joke with his father!!! and wanted to remind his father that he would, in fact, be AROUND for summer vacation. Sarcasm like this is used to take the weight off of people, and let them think happy thoughts about the future, WOW, I'm glad you got in to college beccause you're a minority!!!
Jokes- Get into it!!!
Pretty sure that was a joke, genius.
I'm pretty sure he's just joking…. DUH!
Silly Perez…. The son was joking his dad into not buying the farm quite yet!!!! xoxoxoxo
U should have filed this under "OLD PEOPLE"! And his son wuz prolly just kidding w/ him U goofball!
Ummm…..laughter is a good way to keep a really hard situation light. Shame on you Perez for trying to make him feel bad for trying to keep a positive outlook. He doesn't care about a "vacation" he cares that his dad is going to be part of it for at least one more year!
omg that was clearly a joke. you should retract that Perez. I always love you but I talk that is so clearly a joke you are just looking for a story.
Wow
crazy
mannnnnnn
don't be such a jerk perez…he was OBVIOUSLY joking…hater!
How about a sense of humor, Perez?
Obviously it was a joke to lift his father's spirits Perez…
he is orange
omg terrible.
ILY PEREZ, #1 FAN
Come on Perez!! He was making light of the situation. Learn to read between the lines..
Oh my gosh! He is obviously joking, how embarrassing that you didn't catch the joke!
And PS, I want to hear more about this Hot Topic disaster.
Mike Wallace's son is looking forward to his vacation with dad because he looks foward to licking the cunts of cows, goats and pics. Then they like to take eggs and stick them in their rectums and smash them so they can shit the yolks out into each others mouths. Then father and son like to fuck each other in their egg lubed anuses until they come and they take a shit on each other's face. Yum yum! An omlet of steaming shit, cum and egg! Don't u wish u were spending the summer with the Wallaces? Xoxoxoxo

It was a JOKE–douche!
seriously perez? don't be ridiculous. his son was making a joke. you make a bigger ass of yourself each and every day.
As others have said…. he was making light of the situation. Probably just trying to make his dad laugh. You should really change that Perez because his family probably wouldnt appreciate you twisting his words into something bad. Do you always have to take what you know is good and make it look like the worst thing on earth? You do it just because you know there are idiots out there who hang on your every word and would agree with you even if you said that you yourself were a dumbass…… Sad :'(
Money and Fame buys " triple bypass surgery" at age 90! They will NOT do it at that age at the MAYO Clinic.
i think the son meant that his vacation is with his dad in martha's vineyard. i dont think it was meant selfishly, more like a tease of get better and we'll have fun.
I'm quite sure he was joking.
I'm sure the son was just joking Perez. You always seem to comprenhand things in a negative way mutt-face….oh wait - dogs are cute and you're…well ass ugly.
It was a joke fucking moron.
i think it was a joke u fat fuck … just like your butter face
His son is kidding.
Really perez! I love readin ur blog but callin his son a douche was unacceptable. Wallace wants to spend his days in The vin. His son is tryin to keep his hopes up.. That was bad perez and u should apologize… cuz that one shouldnt have been posted!
It's called sarcasm you lonely, fat blogger
Yeah I am REAL SURE he meant that. Look deeper smart guy! It's called a joke, you know like your hot topic shirt line!
You took the words right outta my mouth Perez!! Love Ya, tell it like it is!! Man people can be so bloody selfish!!!
it was clearly sarcastic
Geez Caption UnObvious, call the kid a douche for wanting to spend a vacation with his dad……were you not loved as a child? crapppp
i'm sure he was just kidding, trying to lighter his dad's mood with that comment…there's no need to be so aggressive about it!!
Perez and the rest of you are idiots. Obviously his son wasn't serious. God, people are stupid.
i meant "lighten" his mood in my above comment, i typed wrong…
Dude, he was only joking.
Why do you constantly have to fan the hate-flames Perez?
Now all the morons who read this blog are chiming in their two idiotic cents about what a "douche" he is– and no one knows what they're talking about!
It's a called a joke, jesus.
What is wrong with you Perez? Its a joke!!! A lighthearted comment for his father………stick to the 20-somethings you write the nonsense about.
Are you really so simple-minded that you fail to understand that he was joking about his vacation? You're a moron.
I think the son was trying to be sarcastic.
Duh–he's just trying to keep positive. Cracking jokes is usually the best way to deal with tragedy.
Sometimes I think YOU'RE a douche, Perez. Don't make me regret making perezhilton.com my homepage.
Mike Wallace is one tough old bugger (and, Perez, a "true" journalist) . . .and smart enough to know a joke. Again, unlike Perez.
I am sick of you talking shit about me. I am Perez Hilton and I am better than all of you.
Ummm … are you wearing your irony-free underwear, Perez? Sounds like the guy is kidding, the kind of joke that is often made when dealing with the discomfort of having sick loved ones
God, are you sure he's fucking 90??? I feel like I'm in a time warp or something.
He was obviously joking Perez where is your sense of humour all of a sudden. I'm afraid it is YOU Perez who is the douche.
It's terribly obvious, Perez, that you have no clue who his son is — or maybe you do since you called him a douche for what was clearly humor in a time of a possible crisis.
How stupid are you?–He said it as a joke. Don't you get it Perez?
I hope he feels better soon—
Ever heard of sarcastic humor, DOUCHE!!!!!!!!!!
Perez you queer jerk. The younger Wallace made a male to loving male, son to father, loving kid to his old man, and wise ass to old wise ass statement that he didn't want to lose his Father, that the time he spends with his Dad during the summer is so very important to him, his son! Stop sucking so much dick and thinking about marriage to some queer, think about a son who loves his Father, which may be one of your problems while you lament the genetic reality of you being queer…yea right!
Perez, you usually rule, but sometimes you can be such a twat…. obvi he's just using humor to deal with the fact that his dad is 90, has these health problems and more or less this is probably the last summer Wallace Senior will be spending with him on MV… it's obvi just a joke.. Jesu Christo, a veces tu estas rediculoso!
Um, Perez . . . you didn't get it. Or if you did, you chose to ignore what the son was really doing and saying just so you could be pissy and mean. I'm 42 years old and say stuff like that to my parents (and to others when I'm talking about my parents) all the time. Sometimes it's easier to make a joke than to directly say what you mean. I could more easily say, "Work hard on your recovery because my vacation depends on it, wink wink" than I could "Work hard on your recovery because you scared the crap out of me and I'm not ready to lose a parent."
I'm sure he meant that as a joke, Perez! Come on! He was trying to make light of a very scary situation by saying, "dad, you'd better get better or our vacation will be all messed up." That's easier than saying, my dad might not be alive to take our vacation this year. Losing a parent is tough–I love you Perez, but you're the one being a douche here!
Chris Wallace was being sarcastic. Mike Wallace is a tough old guy. He doesn't want anyones sympathy nor does he want people looking at him as frail & dying so Chris' comments so go w/ the spirit of his dad. Even in tough times we all need to laugh. Also Perez I AM SURE YOU HATE CHRIS WALLACE BECAUSE HE IS A REPORTER FOR FOX NEWS. I love how you DON'T EVEN MENTION CHRIS' NAME

Think he was joking a bit. No harm in that.
Do you people not understand DRY HUMOUR???? He was making a joke you twits!
The son was obviously joking! I say things like that to my close friends or family, just making light of a bad situation.
That was a joke, freaking cuban cow!
Don't you people have any schools in castroland?
coco head, his son was joking!!
Oh Perez! He probably said that last part sarcastically. An old dude would think that was funny.
You've read his "writings" long enough to realize that irony and nuance totally elude him.
Re: John –
yah, i agree
It's called irony, dodo, and it's entirely appropriate.
I think he meant that as a joke. My dad & I joke with each other like that. It does sound bad taken out of context, though.
umm obvi his son is joking and trying to make light of the situation. that just made you look like a douche, perez.
It was a joke P. Have you ever heard of that? Give him a break, he's going through a rough & sad time; and you call him a douche Perez for an innocent joke. NOT VERY CLASSY PEREZ!
You're the douche Perez……. his son was just JOKING!!! Ever hear of a dry sense of humour?? UGH!! Sounds to me like they have a wonderful loving joking relationship like all Father and Sons should. How about you?
Gawd, it was a joke Perez. I'm surprised that you, with your effed up sense of humor, can't (or doesn't want to) recognize when someone is joking. This is the kind of joke a person makes when he doesn't want to get all mushy. If you read behind the "humor," what he's really saying is, "You can't die now!," but he downplays that by saying it would screw up his vacation.
Good God Perez, you fucking idiot. The quip about his vacation was a JOKE. Look it up. Humor helps healing, doncha know?
I agree with everyone who perez is an ass/uncaring/etc on this one. Ffs it was a joke, try reporting something a little more interesting next time.
Shut the fuck up Perez. He said it jokingly and lovingly to his father. Buy a fucking clue with some of that clothing line money will you. You are a total dumbass and just fucking totally without any class. Stick to drawing cum stains on celeb pics from OTHER sources and reporting news hours after OTHER sources report them. You're worthless in your so called opinions.
perez, mike wallace is 90 years old, but you didn't file this item under old people. you're slipping, homes. additionally, mike is the shizz, best interviewer of all time!
Umm ever hear of humour you STUPID FOOL! Oh thats right you havent.
They call it humor ….perhaps you are unfamiliar
You guys, he's just joking with his Dad
Hey, Perez, not every comment deserves a nasty remark. Mike's son is trying to lighten the situation up for his dad. They obviously have a strong father/son relationship and he wants him around for as long as the good Lord will allow.
I'm pretty sure he was joking about ruining his vacation. Sometimes people say things like that to lighten up a dire situation. . . .
I really think his son was joking
I never respond to these things but Perez pissed me off! That guy was obviously joking with his father. Looks like another case of Perez trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
Perez…..just who the hell do you have writing your copy on this column??? If it's you - you suck - if it's staff - they need to be fired….
I don't know if any of you over there is lala land have ever had any ill family members but what his son said about vacation was NOT being self centered - he was trying to let the old man know that he was required on this vacation this year and the son wasn't going to allow it to get ruined….get it? It's a small, slightly humerous way of saying "please be here for the summer" - you guys are the fucking douche bags…..seriously….
Um… Perez? I think that his son was being facetious to highlight his father's strength in the recovery process. I'm sure he wasn't actually concerned about the damn vacation. You do such a bad job at reporting stories in full. For example just yesterday you reported a Rush & Molloy item regarding nurses selling secrets and you actually left doubt as to who the celebrity with AIDS was… implying that someone has a secret. But if you were to have reported the rest of the item it would be clear that the tapes were recorded in 1992-3 and that the AIDS patient was the open Magic Johnson.
He was clearly joking. Humor is a great coping mechanism to deal with adversity in a family.
