Talk about a short suspension: STATEMENT REGARDING KEITH OLBERMANN – SUNDAY, NOV. 7 From Phil Griffin, President of MSNBC: 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.

Robert Gibbs has issued a statement trying to walk back his critique of the “professional left” in an interview with The Hill. Here’s Gibbs statement (via The Plum Line) I watch too much cable, I admit. Day after day it gets frustrating.
