News from MSNBC's Olbermann back on air after suspension
Keith Olbermann returned to MSNBC on Tuesday after a two-day suspension for violating a network rule on political donations that he said was "probably not legal," seeming to relish the attention.
He aired jokes that Jay Leno and Jon Stewart had made about his situation, flashed stories about himself and said he wished he could thank individually all 300,000 people who signed an online petition seeking his reinstatement."It still feels like a universal hug," he said.
The cable news network's top-rated host acknowledged donating $2,400 apiece to the campaigns of Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway and Arizona Reps. Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords. NBC News prohibits its employees from making political donations unless an exception is granted in advance by the network news president, and said Olbermann hadn't sought such permission.
