ESPN has apparently suspended Tony Kornheiser for criticizing fellow host Hannah Storm's wardrobe choices.

“Hannah Storm in a horrifying, horrifying outfit today,” Kornheiser said on his Washington, D.C., radio show last week. “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’s got on her typically very, very, very tight shirt. She looks like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body. I know she’s very good, and I’m not supposed to be critical of ESPN people, so I won’t. But Hannah Storm, come on now. Stop. What are you doing? She’s what I would call a Holden Caulfield fantasy at this point.”

Not everyone is endowed with a fine esthetic sense, and many talking heads benefit from the ministrations of a professional stylist. ESPN should consider the investment as it concerns Storm. That is one awful looking ensemble.

On the other hand, I think ESPN was probably correct to suspend Kornheiser--what kind of idiot creates this kind of controversy for his employer? A private aside to someone in a position to deal with this would have been far more effective--unless the point was to embarrass Storm in the first place.
