Okay, Kevin.  We get it.  You don't like Keith Olbermann,

Some of us do, however.

I agree with Don that neither of the terms you suggest are applicable,
because MSNBC was responsible for his becoming the "center of
attention" by the way they handled this.  I read Keith's statement to
the New York Times on Monday and listened to his explanation on last
night's "Countdown" and it seems that MSNBC neither put the "ask
before donating" rule in his contract nor brought it to his
attention.  So, when contacted by a third party website to confirm his
campaign contributions, he freely admitted them ... because he didn't
know he had broken any rules.  (I also agree with his statement last
night that the rule may not be legal, in which case he'll likely end
up with his paycheck for those two suspended days.)

I also had suspected that the contributions came after the candidate's
appearance on his show, not before.  To hear Keith confirm that
timeline now makes me wonder why no one in the media picked up on that
possibility.  (If they did, I missed it, so feel free to correct me on
that.)
