Keith Olbermann will return to the air on Tuesday after being suspended for two shows (this past Friday and the upcoming episode on Monday).

The host of MSNBC's "Countdown" was given an indefinite suspension last week after his boss, network president Phil Griffin, discovered that Olbermann had made political contributions without seeking prior approval, as per company policy.

A network spokesman released the following statement via email:

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. We look forward to having him back on the air Tuesday night.

1. I wouldn't want to come in Monday and listen to all the new VMs either n/t

2. "...an appropriate punishment..."

Hopefully the entire half hour will be a "Special Comment" on "appropriate punishments."

"An appropriate punishment" my ass. "Several days of deliberation and discussion?" My guess is that Olbermann immediately started exploring his other options and the wise, all-knowing Phil Griffin didn't want to deal with the fallout.

3. After several days of discussion

7. The moral of the story is

9. If I were KO, I would take a serious look at the 2012 contract deadline and

move to greener pastures and take all of the best with him.
