13. KO extended. Scarborough SUSPENDED

justice is sweet.

[camera obscura]

17. Has he actually been suspended?

I bet he'll find some way to blame it on the Obama administration. I mean, he was talking about Rahm, clearly this means that they MADE him do it!

[librechik]

18. Stephe said he has been taken off the air indefinitely

whether he is literally suspended or not is something we will have to wait to hear from management.

They have suspended on air types for similar transgressions before...

[OHDEM]

14. Keith is a triple threat...

Smart, funny and sexy! (Of course, nothing is sexier than a smart progressive guy!)

Keith rocks! I swear I don't know how I would have gotten thru the last few months without him. And DU, of course!

20. $4 million dollars a year wasn't enough?

had to get an additional $3.5 million per year to stay on and obtain more happiness. I'm sorry, but this reminds me of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and I think we all agree they make way too much money.

Is being a liberal, who doesn't vote make it okay to rake in this kind of dough?
