Keith Is Back! Griffin Capitulates to 300,000 Progressives Petitioners

Phil "Empty Suit" Griffin quickly capitulated after our petition drive gathered 300,000 signatures demanding Keith's return. Of course, he was much more accomodating upon learning that Phase Two was called "Operation Grab Your Pitchforks and Torches." Seriously ... here is the message of thanks from boldprogressives.org to all who signed to get Keith Olbermann back on the air:
We did it! The president of MSNBC just announced that Keith Olbermann will be back on the air on Tuesday night!

This is a huge victory for the whopping 300,000 of us who signed the petition, which was delivered directly to MSNBC's president and reported on by many top news outlets.

It's clear MSNBC took notice of the public outrage. Progressives proved that when one of our own is targeted, we will fight back.

And Keith Olbermann knows what an important role his supporters played. He posted on Twitter: "Greetings From Exile! A quick, overwhelmed, stunned THANK YOU for support that feels like a global hug..."

Sign the national congrats card — and tell Keith what he means to you. We'll deliver your message directly to Keith.
Griffin waves white flag of surrender after 300,000 signatures demand Keith's return.
