The good news is that Karl Rove was notable only by his absence on This Week with George Stephanopoulos this morning.
Now, I'm holding my breath. Did they actually hear us? Or will he be back?
Meanwhile, I went ahead and informed ABC that I noticed and appreciated their decision to remove him from the panel. I do think it's a good idea to tell them when they do something right as well as when they stick their collective heads up their asses.

And, I had been waiting to see if the other shoe dropped before writing to the show's sponsors. The producers saved me some work—and, for that, I'm always grateful. :)

Giving Rove a Forum???

This morning on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, I was appalled to see Karl Rove sitting there, being listened to with what looked like respect by George and the other members of his round table.
I immediately went to abc.com and, after considerable hunting around, figured out how to email them my outrage. I informed them that I will boycott their network hereafter and urge everyone I know to do so, as well.

If you agree that a man who refuses to testify before Congress has lost his right to pontificate on his views to those of us who do things like-- you know --obey the law, I'm asking you to register your feelings with ABC. And, if you're interested, please join my boycott of all things ABC.
OK, I know that may be a bit much for some folks. In that case, may I suggest Boycott Lite:
If you want to watch something on ABC, how about recording the program and watching it later--and zipping through all commercials?
Another possibility [and one I plan to follow up on] is to contact all of This Week's sponsors and tell them I will boycott them as long as they sponsor Stephanopoulos' program. Since most of them are, most likely, headed up by Republicans, I don't expect anything to happen unless a major boycott occurs. I'm not holding my breath waiting for that to happen.
Still, I can't just sit here and watch this travesty happen.

Here's the url for the email site where you can voice your views on this matter.
I'm not positive the link will work-- you may have to register with their site in order to use it.
