Good Morning America weekend producer John Green has been suspended by ABC News for one month without pay following the release of years-old emails that he sent in which he remarked that President Bush "makes me sick" and that former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright "has Jew shame." After the emails were posted on the Drudge Report, Green promptly apologized, saying in a message to ABC News staff, "I want all of you to know how much I regret the embarrassment this story causes ABC. It was an inappropriate thing to say and I'm deeply sorry." The Washington Post reported on Saturday that it was "widely believed at ABC News that the emails were leaked by a former employee who has a vendetta against Green." The newspaper's observation appeared to be confirmed by one message writer on the TVNewser website, who wrote: "I work at weekend GMA at ABC. I am very upset about the John Green situation. I worked with the leaker, and when fired, he threatened to destroy John and our senior producers."
Aww, gee. He's not sorry he said it (years ago), he's just sorry he got caught (and embarrassed his boss).
What do the libs have against Madeline Halfbright? I thought she was a crowd favorite ..... [/s]
Well, at least he didn't wear a U.S. flag pin on his lapel.
Seems to me that if Mr. Green wasn't a libidiot anti-semite he wouldn't have had a problem ... vendetta or not.

If there was any decency at this network, he would be fired. For BOTH comments- equally offensive.
Isn't he apologizing to the wrong people? Shouldn't he be apologizing to the people he actually said nasty things about?
Slap on the wrist window dressing to make ABC look responsible.
Followup article (he was suspended for one month).
Thanks for the ping.
