Ingraham Apologizes...Half Heartedly. OK - "Not!"

Laura Ingraham, who has been berated by callers to Newsradio 620 WTMJ following her criticism of Brett Favre for crying at his retirement news conference, has apologized, at least sort of. During the final hour of her show today, Ingraham brought up her criticism of Favre in the context of a discussion about disgraced New York Governor Elliot Spitzer.

Listen for yourself - near the top of the right panel under, "Where in the World is Brett Favre?". Or listen below - this will take you to my Gabcast site...it'll be the first recording. Whatever's easier.

Gabcast! KJJI #13 - Laura Ingraham's Apology?

In the context of talking about her desire to see Elliot Spitzer show emotion as he discussed a sex scandal he's embroiled in, Ingraham said, "you know I'm really all over the place, last week someone showed too much emotion, I'm still paying for that comment. By the way, I love Brett Favre. Everything that Brett Favre has ever done, I'm his biggest fan."

Now she adds insult to injury. If she's Brett's "biggest fan", she would never have made such asinine comments to begin with. Baby Grace in Tunjunga is 8 months old and more of a Favre fan than Ingraham will ever be. So that's a lie. And she back-peddled more or less in her "apology" instead of just - apologizing.

Hey - this proves the point if enough people say what they're thinking, you CAN effect some change. POWER TO THE PEOPLE! (oddly enough, the title of Ingraham's own book).

I will give Ingraham credit for at least re-addressing the issue. But that's where the credit stops. Say it, big-mouth. "I apologize". It's easy. And make sure there's emotion in. Even cry if you like. I won't berate you.
