Will Martin Bashir face punishment at MSNBC?

From the Associated Press:

 MSNBC was not saying Tuesday whether disciplinary action is planned against show host Martin Bashir, who has apologized for "deeply offensive" comments he made about Sarah Palin. ...

An MSNBC spokeswoman did not immediately respond to questions Tuesday about whether any further action was being contemplated against Bashir. The former ABC "Nightline" host was on the air for his show on Tuesday. A Fox News representative could not immediately reach Palin for comment.

Last week, Bashir suggested that someone defecate in Palin's mouth for comments she made in a speech comparing the federal debt to slavery. He apologized Monday.
