Kyra Phillips
CNN reporter Kyra Phillips committed the ultimate technology folly yesterday during George Bush's Hurricane Katrina memorial speech.
As is a lady's wont, Phillips ducked off to the powder room with a colleague to gossip about men and forgot to turn off her microphone.
The internet be blessed: youtube.com posted the video online, which begins with Phillips discussing her husband, saying, "He's just a really passionate, compassionate great great human being. And they exist! They do exist. They're hard to find."
This is followed by some running water, while Phillips's colleague talks about someone coming for "an extended visit".
"That's how you figure it all out," Phillips replies. "Those extended visits, heh, heh, heh."
But the moment Phillips will be rueing for Christmases to come is when she slags off her sister-in-law. "Of course brothers have to be, you know, protective," she says, "except for mine. I've got to be protective of him. Uh, yeah. He's married, three kids, but his wife is just a control freak."
Unfortunately, like everything good, the glorious blunder ends too soon. "Kyra?" someone asks. "Yeah, baby," she responds.
"Your mic is on. Turn it off. It's been on the air." The anchor woman cuts in pretty swiftly.
