This thread definitely seems to confirm something Tony Kornheiser said on PTI. He said that during his radio show in which this lady and her behavior was a topic, half the callers wondered why she wasn't punished even more, even kicked out of school, and the other half wanted to take her to bed.
I'm not sure that's exactly the public image she wanted. She could be a good slapstick comedian if she wanted to regain face, though; I cringe but laugh my ass off every time I watch her yank that other lady's ponytail.
