Keith Olbermann Back to Work on Tuesday

Keith Olbermann's suspension will end on Tuesday. He was "punished" for donating to three Democratic campaigns.

MSNBC has the story:
Olbermann was suspended indefinitely Friday for violating NBC News rules about donations.
(Msnbc.com, a joint venture of NBC Universal and Microsoft, also has a policy against its journalists contributing to political campaigns.)

In a statement released Sunday evening, Phil Griffin, president of msnbc television, said he had deliberated about Olbermann’s status for several days.

“I have determined that suspending Keith through and including Monday night's program is an appropriate punishment for his violation of our policy,” Griffin said. “We look forward to having him back on the air Tuesday night.
This was still screwed up.
