Breaking on MSNBC: Edward R. Dumbass is coming back.

“Keith Olbermann’s suspension from msnbc television for donating to three Democratic campaigns will end this coming Tuesday, NBC announced Sunday night.

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.

On his own Twitter account, Olbermann broke his silence about the suspension on Sunday. “Greetings From Exile! A quick, overwhelmed, stunned THANK YOU for support that feels like a global hug & obviously left me tweetless XO,” he wrote.

The anchor was likely referring to an online petition calling for his immediate reinstatement, run by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, exceeded 250,000 signatures.”

Oh joy. I was worried the constant and original source of idiocy on MSNBC was gone for good.

UPDATE: Newsbusters Noel Sheppard with suspicions.

“More and more, this has the feeling of a publicity stunt, doesn’t it?

After all, MSNBC’s ratings were absolutely atrocious on election night, and media critics from both sides of the aisle came down on the network for its deplorably biased coverage.

Out comes the Politico piece Friday about Olbermann’s untimely donations, he’s quickly suspended, and the “Countdown” host is suddenly getting more publicity than he ever has.

Two business days later, and exactly a week after the horrible election coverage, he’ll be back on the air probably telling his largest audience in history a nice little fairy tale about what happened.

I quite imagine I’m not the only one smelling a rat.”

Now that I think of it Noel might have something there.
