Olbermann ethics lesson, what not to do

[Illumina Drathiran'ar]

Keith Olbermann, today's worst... person... in the wooooooooooooorld!

[SpiritWarrior]

I do love his Bill O voice, even though it really doesn't sound like Bill O.

Whether we agree with the policy or not, though, is a moot point. The point is that the policy does exist and Keith decided, for whatever reason, to ignore or violate that policy. He didn't do anything illegal and I really don't think even his critics would be surprised or offended by his donations. The most difficult thing for him, I believe, will be showing the proper amount of contrition to his bosses and then delivering the obligatory public apology. Regardless, this will blow over in a day or two and he'll be back on the air within 1-2 weeks most likely.

Yes.

The "If" is not required. The sentence formed was fully functional. It also appears you "missed" that meaning as well.

Here is yet another crayola draw for you. By your response of confusion, you do not understand the subject, therefore, "it's too complicated for you, move along". Wet clean up in aisle "SW".

If you think "It's too complicated for you then, move along" is fully functional, then you really do need to be in school. Ask one of your teachers.

Mindful again of your adolescent job as a bed pan changer apprentice in Ireland, it is understandable you have not fully grasped the English language. In so much as your inability to grasp the American dialect, I therefore chose small words to fully enunciate your affliction, in hopes of making it easy for you. Liken to the article you failed to grasp, this also has gone above your reach.

Clear win for me again. Too easy.

As Jon Stewart said, it was a stupid rule, but at least it was poorly enforced.

Apparently, in additional updates, Olbermann found out about his suspension when it was announced to the media, and also indicates that he was unaware of the no-contributions rule, while also stating that it has been "inconsistently applied".

"You should know that I mistakenly violated an inconsistently applied rule—which I previously knew nothing about—that pertains to the process by which such political contributions are approved by NBC," Olbermann wrote.

It's pretty incredible that Olbermann learned of his own suspension only after MSNBC blasted out a short statement to reporters Friday afternoon.

[SpiritWarrior]

He's back, with a somewhat humorous explanation an apology and a big thank you for all his support. I can't help but like him - funny but humble at the same time.

I am of the same opinion as Jon Stewart, of which he shows a clip 4 mins into it.
