MSNBC host Keith Olbermann made campaign contributions to two Arizona members of Congress and failed Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway ahead of Tuesday’s election — a potential violation of NBC ethics policies.

Olbermann, who acknowledged the contributions in a statement to POLITICO, made the maximum legal donations of $2,400 apiece to Conway and to Arizona Reps. Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords. He donated to the Arizona pair on Oct. 28 — the same day that Grijalva appeared as a guest on Olbermann’s “Countdown” show.

So shilling for Democrats nightly is okay, but giving them a shilling of your own money is not?

Well, ya gotta have standards!

Apparently Olbermann could give Dems all kinds of fawning media coverage, using NBC corporate resources, and that is hunky-dory with the NBC brass. But let him make an actual contribution with his personal cash, and that gets him yanked off the air.

Rather strange sense of ethics if you ask me.

It's just an excuse to get rid of the prick without paying the cancellation costs on the contract.

There is no bias at MSNBC.

You’re just an ignorant racist.
