From TPM

MSNBC just announced that Keith Olbermann will be back on Tuesday after one more day of suspension on Monday evening.

Olbermann was suspended indefinitely without pay on Friday after a report that he'd contributed to three Democratic House candidates in October, purportedly a violation of MSNBC policy.

Statement from Phil Griffin ...

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.

Our long national nightmare is over.

1. Good news
And the punishment seems fair. Hopefully they can kiss and make up.

8. This is how I checked. I did a search for "Keith" on the GD page and it turned up nothing.
So I posted. But then I went back to the source to get the link to post. In that time, I'm sure a couple appeared. Anyway, I couldn't have been any later than the 11th...

11. Don't you worry about it! It happens to me, too. I try hard, I search, find
nothing, post, and then see it right next to mine.
:)

This happy news cannot be spread often enough.
