Well, *I* am just waiting to see. I don't assume that this IS more than just a perfunctory suspension to uphold the rules, and I don't assume that anyone is 'out to get' him. They almost HAD to do something to be consistent with their own 'policy'. We can debate whether the rule made any sense, or was fair, but I assume Keith knew about it.
I DO assume that they have 9,437 emails by now demanding him back...and a dozen or so suggesting they sellout and get rid of ALL those nasty, pinko liberals.
I cannot see them dumping their more popular show over a minor breach of the rules...unless HE is making it an issue behind the scenes. I'd bet that Rachael had talked TO Keith and knows where things stand.
