I have no idea what was said, so I can't really comment, but find it funny that CBS Radio will not suspend them from their daily show, but XM Radio is suspending them for 30 days...

The issue began as a homeless man was reportedly encouraged to make threats to rape and kill Condoleeza Rice & Laura Bush. XM, worried about legal ramifications and merger implications, asked for an apology on Monday's show, and when the apology did not occur, instead a plea for "we fight censorship" O&A were summarily suspended.

EDIT: Nevermind. If R&R is right, O&A are having their contract terminated by XM, and will become CBS Exclusive (which I thought would happen WAY before now)
