Tom Shales Gets the Boot

"Style" columnist Tom Shales still has his misogynistic forum. His latest target is Alison Stewart, cohost of PBS's new show "Need to Know." Alison Stewart is a pro who can take care of herself when attacked by this fool.

His last barrage of vitriol was pointed at Christiane Amanpour, a pro who can also take care of herself. Double Boot to Shales.

There is no wit in denigrating women. No humor. No intellect. A clever turn of phrase at the expense of any woman's professional or personal integrity is not smart. It's lazy, pandering to the lowest common denominator.

If the bottom is where you want to be, Mr. Shales, I'm glad to Boot you there.
