In the same vein as the previous post by Gus about the ludicrous GOP Texas Lt.

As Mitt Romney continued to make missteps in his statements on Benghazi, the GOP had to close ranks around him to protect his campaign.

So at A&E, a "suspension" means he still remains in the re-runs, then returns in the new shows. What was it he was "suspended" from again? It looks like Phil Robertson's suspension from "Duck Dynasty" may be just for show. Entertainment Weekly learned that on Jan. 15, A&E will ...
