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.

I think you nailed it. Besides, as I said on another thread, they need to clear a slot for Alan Grayson. I might even send an e-mail to MSNBC suggesting they do just that.

From a CBS article:
On October 7th, in reference to the Fox News donations, Olbermann asked House Majority Whip James Clyburn if there is a legislative response available when a cable news network "goes beyond having a point of view and actually starts to shill for partisan causes and actually starts to donate to partisan groups of one party."

Let’s get behind the REAL REASON why Keith O was suspended ... he’s not bringing in the number of audience they need.
They want to test another replacement to see if he/she can do a better job.
This official reason is as bogus as NPR firing Juan Williams for the statement he made at O’Reiley. We know NPR’s REAL REASON.
