See and hear video here Oops! CNN Airs Anchor's Girltalk Over Bush Speech http://newsbusters.org/stories/kyra_phillips_girltalk.html?q=node/7247 Posted by Megan McCormack on August 29, 2006 - 14:38. 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. 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." Video clip (1minute 38seconds): Real (2.6MB) or Windows Media (3.06MB), plus MP3 audio (478KB) The full transcript is behind the cut [including one vulgarity]: The audio of Phillips. conversation could be heard overriding President Bush's remarks approximately ten minutes into the President's speech. While the President could be heard during the exchange, Phillips's gaffe was very distracting: Kyra Phillips: ""assholes.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.[unintelligible] 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." [unidentified woman]: "We'll see. He's going to come, you know, he's set for an extended visit.[unintelligible]" Phillips: "I mean, that's, that's how you figure it all out, those extended visits. [laughter]" [unidentified woman]: "Yeah, but my mom, I think she really likes him." Phillips: "Mom's got a good vibe? Good." [unidentified woman]: "Yeah, my brother's the one that.[unintelligible]" Phillips: "Brother-of course, brothers have to be, you know, protective. Except for mine. I've got to be protective of him." [unidentified woman [unintelligible] Phillips: "Yeah. He's married, three kids, but his wife is just a control freak." [unidentified woman #2]: "Kyra." Phillips: "Yeah, baby?" [unidentified woman #2]: "Your mic is on. Turn it off. It's been on the air." Seconds later, Daryn Kagan stumbled through this awkward transition: Daryn Kagan: "Alright, we've been listening in to President Bush as he speaks in, uh, New Orleans today. This is the one year anniversary of Katrina making land shore there. President Bush saying if another natural disaster hits, our country. We must, uh, react better than that. Let's listen in once again to President Bush."
That's funny but I hope she doesn't get in trouble for it. I didn't know they had to turn their own mics off when they cut to video.

If we're referring to the same thing, no way you can tell what she said for sure. In fact, it sounded a lot more like a sneeze to me.
Oh that is classic. I love how she emphasizes control freak. Well at least her husband will feel good after hearing this.
gmmfaoitrmfmb! nothing like getting home off work to something like this. yah... it was "control PHA-wreek". owned, pwned, ow3nd, pwn3d, ka-pwnt, al-capon3d,... all apply.
This is still by far my favorite: <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q64qvkVtXd0"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q64qvkVtXd0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
Is that what girls talk about in the bathrooms? ha, either she's incredibly white bread or she's a loser. Guys talk a lot more smack in the crapper.
I was listening to this on the radio on the way to work, and I was thinking, "Damn, I wish President Bush would STFU so I could hear these two chicks in the bathroom!"
