STATEMENT REGARDING KEITH OLBERMANN - SUNDAY, NOV. 7

From Phil Griffin, President of MSNBC:

After several days of deliberation and discussion, I have determined that suspending Keith through and including Monday night's program is an appropriate punishment for his violation of our policy. We look forward to having him back on the air Tuesday night.

1. Phil Griffin: Arrogant Asshole

"appropriate punishment" for exercising his constitutional rights? F*$$ you, Griffin.

[Ken Burch]

2. So basically, a face-saving climbdown on Griffin's part...in other words, WE WON!!!!!

3. No it isn't. And You owe us more than that.

You need to either 1) resign, or 2) start firing right-wing fuckwit pundits who couldn't find their asses with a map, a torch, and a paper bag and stack it with lefty pundits, and I mean true-blue Democrats, not those faux Democrat DLC schmucks. Like Paul Begalia or James Carville. You need to start hiring real people, like Randi Rhodes, Mike Malloy, and many others.

4. Good.

He should have never been suspended in the first place. If anyone needs to be punished, it's that asshole Griffin. Keith did nothing wrong.

[democrank]

5. Yay !

[opihimoimoi]

6. Keith can't say it but I bet he tripled his contract

7. Eggcelent... somebody in RW land

Now we need to do MORE push-back...

(Oh and that misspelling is ON PURPOSE)

[Stellar]

9. Phil, you arrogant so.b.

That was much too long! But a nice four day weekend for Keith, if nothing else.

[sabrina 1]

10. People Power!

Now, who should we go after next?

[PufPuf23]

11. I am glad. I like KO.

Thought he was being scapegoated.

Hope this item is true.

[WillyT]

12. Yeah Baby...

16. I bet Keith was notified before he tweeted.

And now he has an army of thousands on tap at Facebook. Mess with the professional at your peril.

:rofl:

[Bluenorthwest]

13. Of course

My exact call was 'Wed at the latest'. This was a territorial, new boss meets employee of great power sort of game. Seen it and seen it.

[nolabear]

14. Well, it ain't the House, but it IS wonderful.

I do hope he's absolutely unapologetic.
