Tony Kornheiser has apparently been suspended for two weeks for "horrifying" comments made against SportsCenter anchor Hannah Storm. He basically was ripping what he called a "horrifying" outfit that Hannah was wearing which consisted of her "typically tight shirt, red go-go boots and a Catholic School skirt".

The comments were made on his ESPN radio affiliate in Washington D.C. Now I understand that they technically both work under the same corporate umbrella, but they are on completely separate shows and are technically not direct co-workers. So is this REALLY such a sensative topic that he can't express his opinion on what really is truthfully a tarted up outfit that she typically wears?
I don't know what's with the politically correct rampage that's going on at that company! First they fire a blogger after he questioned, albeit it strongly, where all the Haiti money is going. And now they suspend a long time veteran of the network for making comments that are relatively benign in this day and age! I don't get the ultrasensitive suits running things over there. If Hannah is that bothered by the comments (apparently she put up a huge stink about them), then DON'T wear outfits like that!
I personally have no problem with them, but when one wears something like that, it is human nature for people to comment on them. But I guess that's what happens in this day and age that we continue to supress people for making opinions in a country that is supposed to celebrate freedom of speech. And in a great piece of irony, Kornheiser gets suspended from a job that requires him to express his opinion! How crazy is that?!
