"She's got on red go-go boots and a Catholic school plaid skirt... way too short for somebody in her 40s or maybe early 50s by now... She looks like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body... Come on now! Stop! What are you doing?"

My take on this is that if ABC/ESPN did nothing, perhaps a half million people would have noticed that somebody made fun of her taste in clothing. Now 300 million people world wide will be snickering.

They really did her a favor, chivalry is not dead.

I always thought he was paid to say that kind of stuff?

I love Kornheiser's radio show, but he does get carried away with criticisms and it gets personal sometimes. Nothing you might not say to your buddy in the bar, but strange on the radio.

But Deadspin has a source that said TKs suspension had more to do with making fun of Berman's weight the same week as it did with the comments about Storm.

OMG. I think I heard Howie Long make fun of Michael Strahan's tooth gap too. Stop the insanity!

While I have my own opinions about her outfit and his right to say what he wants, I think the suspension is idiotic.

OOOOH, Catholic school girl in Nancy Sinatra boots. hubba hubba

Honestly, I think she looks kinda cute in that outfit. She's being creative, having a little fun.

Now I REALLY think making a deal out of Koprnheiser's remark is absurd. I had assumed she looked homely and it was insensitive of Kornheiser to point it out. She was just playing around and so was Kornheiser.
