Flushing CNN anchor goes on Letterman

Fri Sep 1, 3:19 PM ET

NEW YORK - CNN anchor Kyra Phillips, whose ladies room chatter found its way onto her newscast, bounced back two days later with a "Top 10 List" of excuses on the "Late Show with David Letterman."


The mishap had happened Tuesday when Phillips, still wearing her wireless microphone, visited the loo while CNN aired President Bush's speech from New Orleans. For a minute or so her voice commingled with his, as she was heard telling an unidentified woman how great her husband is, then mentioned that her sister-in-law is "a control freak." Only then was she alerted that her mike was live.

How could such a thing happen? A game but still embarrassed-looking Phillips set Letterman (and his CBS audience) straight — or at least, left them laughing.

1. Don't forget that Nancy Pelosi had to bitch slap her a
few months back for being part of the Rove noise machine.

Nothing funny about this media whore and I hope Letterman doesn't inadvertently help her gain status.

5. that was a true classic
Kyra, if you want to make a case for the white house perhaps you should go on their payroll...


:rofl:

one of my favorite slapdowns of all time.

I'm pissed at Dave for having Phillips on, I felt like puking when I saw she was gonna be on there.

4. she is handling it correctly
Edited on Fri Sep-01-06 11:38 PM by Skittles
huge faux pauxs need to be acknowledged and confronted and laughed about and then hopefully forgiven and forgotten; now, if she would just confront her bush-whoring ways.....

8. i hate this bitch, i wish Letterman had not had her on
she is a Bush whore. not as open as that Candy Crowley idiot, but still in a more subtle way. i remember her during BUsh's disgusting flight suit propaganda.

9. Ah yes, more of that family value - hate. Great example for kids.
After hating someone for diffrent political views, what's next, hating because of different color, religion, sexual orientation?

11. So everytime a reporter is critical of Bush, it's valid for Rove to
say, "That bitch is a tool on the DNC payroll"? I think not. You either have a free press or you have one getting pressure from all sides to report the way YOU want it.

How about we have less "I hate that bitch" (as if her gender was relevant) and more of "I disapprove of what you say, but the principals of a free press in our country far outweigh my personal feeings on what you reported."

You could even attack the message rather than the messenger, "I hate what she said" rather than "I hate that bitch."

It does bring up memories of another so-called leader, Marion "Bitch set me up" Barry.

12. i call men bitches also so don't try that shit with me
i'm female myself.

and not sure since when Marion Barry is seen as a leader. and what that has to do with anything.

but i will attack her if i want. she whores for the administration and their lies. that's far worse than what someone like myself says about her. and i did explain it was because of her whoring for lies.

and it's clear that bitch is not a tool on the dnc payroll so i'm not sure why you bring that up.

13. News anchors being mouthpieces of the government. A-OK???
That's equal to news people who question or criticize the government? Oh my.

One more time, you think it's ok for a NEWS ANCHOR to be a mouthpiece of your government????? Wow.

14. Isn't she also the one who argued with Jack Murtha during her interview
with him? The phrase that came to mind when I saw that interview was "unmitigated gall," as my mother would say. Between her, Tony Harris and Dana Bash, all Bush* apologists, no wonder this country is misinformed...:-(

And, after this huge blunder, why is she gaining notoriety instead of losing her job?!:shrug:
