ABC just suspended veteran news producer John Green for having had a private thought unflattering to the democratic leader of the free world two years ago. Not only that. They also made him call the White House to apologize. I wonder how that conversation went?
White House Communications Director Nicole Wallace: Hello? ABC's John Green: Hello Nicole? It's John Green from ABC. (Silence.) Green: Hello? Wallace: I'm still here. Did you have anything you wanted to say? Green: I, um, humbly apologize for having had an impure thought about Him two years ago. Wallace: He is an extremely sensitive man. He works so hard for all of us and when one of his flock fails to appreciate all that He has done for them He becomes quite sad. Green: I am so sorry. It only happened that one time. Usually - I mean, always, always - my thoughts about Him are overwhelmingly glowing and positive. I swear it will never happen again. Wallace: We know it won't, Jonathan. Green: Oh? Wallace: During your month's suspension you are to report to a re-education camp. Write this down: 1211 Avenue of the Americas. Green: Wait a minute. Isn't that...? Wallace: Fox News. Yes, Jonathan. Bring a toothbrush. Green: But it was just one remark! Two years ago! A-a-and what about that snarky thing I said about former Secretary Albright. She's a Democrat! Shouldn't that count for something? Wallace: Why do you think you're just being sent away to camp?
