I'm not a fan of Tony Kornheiser, but I have to laugh about his suspension at the hands of the WWL.

In case you live under a rock (or in Mississippi), Kornheiser drew two weeks worth of game misconducts for taking some shots at ESPN morning anchor Hannah Storm's wardrobe.  Nothing bad, a little provocative maybe, but certainly nothing in my opinion that warrants two weeks off.  Maybe a day and that's just to appease what ever hurt feelings Storm may have had.

Are we now so sensitive that if we publicly call out a co-worker for dressing like a refugee from 1968 that we get put in time out? Apparently that is the policy at ESPN.

Certainly, if the comments were sexual in nature or profane or mean spirited, then, yeah, sure, okay.  But saying  Storm's choice of wardrobe was""horrifying," and that her shirt was too tight and looked "like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body" really isn't as malicious as it sounds.  Not where I come from anyway.  I've said worse things to my wife and I'm not only still married, but I didn't even have to sleep on the couch.

Back in the day, ESPN would have encouraged Hannah to come back on Tony, making fun of his bald head and his garish ties.  But that ship sailed with the Mayflower.  Now, to poke fun at a co-worker gets you benched because some, including lawyers, find that an opportunity to bring suit.

Tony Kornheiser apologized on-air and privately to Hannah Storm.  That should have been the end of it right there.  But instead, he has been removed for two weeks and a mini firestorm has erupted over what some feel is an overly aggressive policy.  I've heard worse things at my office and I'm sure that you've heard worse things in yours.  Nobody promised Tony Kornheiser fair, but no one promised him unfair either.
