Sometimes my blog items just seem to write themselves!
CNN viewers got a treat this morning as President Bush was busy giving his speech commemorating the landfall of Katrina one year ago, CNN anchor Kyra Phillips was running her own commentary in the ladies room.
It would appear that Ms. Phillips neglected to turn her roving microphone off when she left the anchor desk and set sail for the facilities. Forgetting the first rule of broadcasting, that any mic can be live at any time, Ms. Phillips chatted on about a number of things with an unidentified lavatory mate.
Among the things we learn about the chatty anchor is that she adores her husband and thinks that her sister in law is a control freak, oh, uh, uncomfortable Sunday dinnners coming her way soon.
Perhaps Wolf Blitzer can investigate things further on the Situation room.
Newsbusters has a transcript of the on air gaffes, for those that like to read along while they listen.
CNN boldly going where no anchor has gone before!
***Update*** No doubt subscribing to the theory that when you are handed lemons, you make some lemonade Ms. Phillips translated her bathroom confessional into a gig on the Letterman show. Geez there may be hope for her as a newsie after all, she managed to not take herself too seriously and deflated an embarrasing moment all in the same week.
