Professional women should not have their looks publicly evaluated like that. I'm surprised he even thought to say that, let alone actually say it out loud. It reminds me of the time he called a female reporter "sweetie"-- just strangely incongruous and unexpected.

It's a misdemeanor, though, not a felony. Just be more careful and more aware.
