Title: Keith came back today!
Post by: Riki on November 09, 2010, 10:27:24 PM

Anyone who follows me on Twitter or is a Facebook friend of mine knows that I'm an American politics junkie.  So, when Keith Olbermann was suspended from MSNBC indefinitely without pay on Friday, I was one of the 300,000 people who signed the petition to bring him back.  He was back today, and it was just like Christmas.  Yes, I'm a big nerd, and I don't care. *LMAO*

Ok...I'll admit, I am also a political junkie...and I was FRIED that he was suspended.

Did he do something naughty? What was it?

Not really.  He made contributions to the campaigns of 3 politicians.  MSNBC has a rule that says that employees are to ask for approval before making any contributions.  He said he didn't know about the rule, and when asked about one contribution, he freely admitted to making 3.

I'm really looking forward to the Thurber story tomorrow night.. I missed it last week.
