I'm anticipating less than a two week cool down phase, followed by a on-air apology as mentioned by Cerek, a couple shows to get things "aired" out, then wham, right back into the thick of it.

I don't know enough about fox, so I'm sure somebody will come along and provide input. Does fox even have such a policy? Is it really required?

Ultimately, why didn't the knuckle-buck get the prescribed permission first?! Arrogance maybe? OR, downright disregard for policy?
