Phillips: “Brother - of course, 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 her sister-in-law is the control freak...

Yeah, I know. To my mind it isn't so much that it happened, but that it was allowed to continue for 90 seconds. And that screw up had nothing to do with Phillips.

Actually, if I were her bro, I might be insulted, too :)

Initially everyone referred to CNN as the Chicken Noodle Network. It morphed into the Clinton News Network.

Now it's simply a wholly owned subsidiary of Al Jazeera.

Worst part of this...

Her poor brother having to reassure his wife that, "No, Honeybun. Honest. I don't think you are a control freak. I don't know where my sister got that idea."

For the last 48 hours and counting..........

Hi there, Old Friend! I've also heard CNN referred to as the Commie News Network. That's fitting, too.

Lost in all of this controversy is the fact that man has now found the solution to one of the greatest mysteries of woman: why does she have to go to the washroom in packs?

Perhaps the first few seconds but after that it was too good an opportunity to make sure the President wasn't heard.

If it was on CNN, not that many people heard it. Their ratings are, uh, er, in the toilet.....

CNN has done this many times with the Bushies, and I don't recall this happening to other high officials or liberals. A recent example:

This also happens on the CNN website. Among other things, they have been caught giving unflattering names to the picture files of Bushies.

Someone on the other end of that wireless mike does not care for her- otherwise they would have cut the connection.

That's not that bad. In my family we have three control freaks, me, my younger sister and my mother. Thing is we all know it and talk about it.

Yep, and other photos with other names, too.
