21. Making a Political Contribution without prior approval

Keith had made a political contribution without prior approval from MSNBC President Phil Griffin. Keith was thus suspended. That happened in November. Keith left MSNBC announcing it on his last show on January 21, 2011. Then Current TV terminated him on March 30, 2012. I, too, wish he was back on MSNBC doing his Countdown with Keith Olbermann show.
