Punch Line
</hdr>
<body>
<p>By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<p> Take a ringside seat as Jimmy Breslin comes out punching.
Round 1: the New York Newsday writer mouths off about a
Korean-American co-worker who objected to "sexism" in one of
his columns. He describes the woman obscenely, and calls her
"slant-eyed" and a "yellow cur." Asian-American journalists
demand his ouster. Round 2: Breslin apologizes ("I am no good
and once again I can prove it"). But he leads with the lip
again, joking on a radio talk show about his outburst. Round 3:
his exasperated editors sock him with a two-week suspension for
"lack of sensitivity." The last thing anybody wanted last week
was a rematch.
