ABC NEWS EXEC: 'BUSH MAKES ME SICK'; E-MAIL REVEALED
**Exclusive**
A top producer at ABC NEWS declared "Bush makes me sick" in an email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.
John Green, currently executive producer of the weekend edition of GOOD MORNING AMERICA, unloaded on the president in an ABC company email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.
"If he uses the 'mixed messages' line one more time, I'm going to puke," Green complained.
The blunt comments by Green, along with other emails obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT, further reveal the inner workings of the nation's news outlets.
A friend of Green's at ABC says Green is mortified by the email. "John feels so badly about this email. He is a straight shooter and great producer who is always fair. That said, he deeply regrets the sentiment expressed in the email and the embarrassment it causes ABC News."

He sent this on his Blackberry wireless handheld. WIRELESS.
Somehow people apparently still have not realized that they must think twice before they push that "send" button. You can't call an email back. You can't control where it goes after it leaves you. You especially can't control it if it goes out on a wireless device. It's fine to express an opinion like "Bush makes me sick" but you have to realize that if you send it in an e-mail you'd better be sure it's something you don't mind the whole world seeing with your name over it. "Deeply regrets the sentiments" ... I doubt it. He deeply regrets his own lack of discretion.
