This is my favorite thing about all of this I think, when people say that you can't do stuff like this because of political correctness. Man, times sure were better when you didn't have to show respect towards female coworkers or women in general, am I right?

Seems like the only thing that's been left out is something like this: "If she didn't want to be seen, she shouldn't have left the kitchen."

Some of these comments are the exact definition of rape culture in America. It doesn't matter if she was wearing shorts, a one piece, a bikini or even a slinky bikini, she in no way deserved to be objectified by anyone, especially not a colleague. Regardless of what a person is wearing, we have no right to objectify them for it, especially in a public setting, because of whether we feel it was appropriate or not. I don't think anyone here in this thread said she deserved it or had it coming, but some are starting down that slippery slope.
And I agree with those saying it has nothing to do with being PC. It's about being a decent human being. And if it was just a "slip" he had more than enough chances to stop the two additional times te cohost told him to stop. Dude is a sleazebag who knew exactly what he was doing and there's no place for his type on a live news set. Sadly, though, he'll probably face no repercussions because coverage will increase ratings. Sad, sad state we're in.

...couldn't get the video to load...but from what the article said, he intrinsically didn't seem to know that what he was saying was inappropriate, and didn't know how to stop.
It's amazing--these types of behaviors are what you associate with a teenager or maybe a really immature college-aged kid, but I'm around plenty of people in their 30's, 40's, 50's, even 60's that consistently don't seem to understand basic principles of personal space or social boundaries.
Not solely in the case of sexual harassment--just very unaware that their behavior is infringing on someone's personal space or business. It's like they weren't there the day when everyone else was learning what basic etiquette is.
