Laura Ingraham on Brett Favre's Tears: 'I Didn't Know There Was a Woman Quarterback'

I noted on Sunday that Fox News Channel commentator Laura Ingraham suggested that Packers quarterback Brett Favre shouldn't have cried at the news conference to announce his retirement.

But now I learn that what Ingraham said on Fox News Channel is tame compared to what she said on her syndicated talk show:

"All these years, and I didn't know there was a woman quarterback in the NFL. ...

"Brett Favre...we're watching this in the studio, obviously retiring from the NFL, great quarterback, handsome 38-year-old man, he gets up there and he does this press conference that was frankly one of the most embarrassing things I have ever seen."

"That's a great message for young boys. 'Get up there and act like a girl and start blubbering like a baby."

Then, in her best impersonation of a crying toddler with its favorite toy taken away, she wah-wah-wah's while uttering in a mocking tone, "It's about me, it was never about me, but it is about me, bla, bla, bla" before returning to her regular voice and stating, "I could not believe what I was seeing."

The radio station in Milwaukee that carries her program is urging her to apologize.
