"Countdown" host Keith Olbermann may have landed in hot water following a report that he made three campaign contributions before Tuesday's election, but it looks like Joe Scarborough didn't get that memo.

The MSNBC "Morning Joe'" anchor and Sean Hannity have also written checks to political candidates in the past, according to federal campaign disclosures.

MSNBC suspended Olbermann indefinitely on Friday after the news broke, stating that it violated the networks standards.

However, Scarborough is guilty of the same sin. The "Morning Joe" host donated $4,200 to Oregon Republican Derrick Kitts' failed 2006 campaign for a U.S. House seat.

MSNBC did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Across the political pundit aisle at News Corp., Hannity -- conservative yin to Olbermann's liberal yang -- has been an active contributor for several election cycles.
