Today, CNN’s Kyra Phillips got caught, well, with her skirt down. Someone in CNN left her mic open and on the air as she went to the loo in the middle of President Bush’s speech commemorating the Katrina anniversary. So instead of getting the president’s remarks, CNN’s audience got that and Phillips in some girl-chat.

Transcript from Newsbusters - where she says some nasty things about her good ole sister-in-law:

Looking for a "passionate, compassionate, great, great" man? Well, according to CNN’s Kyra Phillips, they do indeed exist.

During CNN’s live coverage of President Bush’s remarks from New Orleans, Phillips was unaware that her microphone was on and picked up portions of a conversation she was having with another woman, apparently in a CNN restroom. At 12:49pm EDT, those listening carefully could hear Phillips praise her husband:

Phillips: "Yeah, I’m very lucky in that regard with my husband. My husband is handsome and he is genuinely a loving, you know, no ego–you know what I’m saying. Just a really passionate, compassionate great, great human being. And they exist. They do exist. They’re hard to find. Yup. But they are out there."

Phillips also inadvertently revealed how she feels about her sister-in-law:

Phillips: "..Brothers have to be, you know, protective. Except for mine. I’ve got to be protective of him...Yeah. He’s married, three kids, but his wife is just a control freak."

Here you can see the clip.

How embarrassing...

At least she didn't say anything nasty about her husband!

Not embarrasing - just honest!

Lt. Frank Drebin's bathroom scene was better!!!!

Yeah, they seem to be missing:

P.S. Weird... From that page: "Love what you see here? We need your help to continue exposing liberal media lies."

I watched right HERE

Oops. At least we know she washes her hands... if you want to hear/see it from that site, simply go to the home page, then find the article, then click on a link. For some reason, the archive page doesn't have the proper links...

Cody Dawg · Aug 30, 2006, 10:25 AM

Ewwwww...

But, funny!

I love when she says her sister-in-law "is a control freak."

davesimondotcom · Aug 30, 2006, 10:30 AM

Exposing the liberal bias...against sister-in-laws!

mitchell_pgh · 10:42 AM

That would be my worst nightmare... she is lucky she didn't say a number of things... it could have destroyed her career.

Y3a · Aug 30, 2006, 10:43 AM

I thought that CNN anchors ALL went to the bathroom on the air.......Sounds like it.

Salty · Aug 30, 2006, 10:47 AM

Oh my goodness. Good thing she didn't say anything scandalous. Could you imagine saying something like, "Holy frick I just wish he'd shut up already, I hate these speeches." Or something else disrespectful of bush. Or she could have said something like, "I think my husband is having an affair" or something.

Cody Dawg · Aug 30, 2006, 10:50 AM

Yeah, it's funny enough the way it is with her unzipping and zipping-up her skirt or slacks.

I'm sure that her brother isn't very happy with her today - the way she dissed her sister-in-law wasn't very nice.

davesimondotcom · Aug 30, 2006, 10:51 AM

No... It could have been a LOT worse...

Hey, Clarissa, should we play Battlesh*ts?

We haven't played that since camp!

<unitelligeble noises>

You skank, you sank my destoryer!

<more noises>

residentEvil · Aug 30, 2006, 10:56 AM

or if she started chanting...

push it out push it out waaaay out.

huh, maybe that's just me when i'm on the can.

willed · Aug 30, 2006, 11:28 AM

Haha, BBC News has this on its front page currently (in the bit where it usually puts the 'lighter side of the news' on the right). Are they gloating do you think? news.bbc.co.uk

hickey · Aug 30, 2006, 11:56 AM

Actually, it's uncanny how well her words actually go with what Bush is saying at those moments in her speech. If you were just watching it out of context, since you can't hear the other woman very well, it would almost sound like she was reacting to Bush's speech.

Thanksgiving is going to be fun for them.

Cadaver · Aug 31, 2006, 12:22 AM

Classic!

Reminds me of the scene in The Naked Gun when Leslie Neilson's character went to the bathroom with his mic on, transmitting all sorts of "bathroom noises" to the room in which the mayor was introducing the Queen of England. Funny stuff.

ironknee · Aug 31, 2006, 12:48 AM

i thought she was going out with rush...

Spliffdaddy · Aug 31, 2006, 12:55 AM

whoa. All this must have come as a big shock to the 4 people that watch CNN.

ironknee · Aug 31, 2006, 12:58 AM

btw she is conservative not liberal

mac-at-kearsarge · Aug 31, 2006, 02:53 AM

I find it hirlarious the way you hear the crowd applauding after she says "....control FREAK!"

Indeed.

The reason behind the the Viagra episode?

Her sister-in-law is probably ignoring her phone calls right now.

KeriVit · Aug 31, 2006, 04:25 PM

I would be so embarrassed regarding the sister-in-law.

Reminds me of when I was talking to my Dad on the phone about my step-mother, yet he neglected to tell me I was on speakerphone!!!! I felt like a complete ass.
