Alrighty then.

Bump

[CremeSaver]

I guess my sense of humor is going. I don't find any of these remotely funny. :O(

[MeanWestTexan]

All you can do in that situation is make fun of yourself before others do.

11. I wanted my sister-in-law to never talk to me ever again!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Well she just went up a notch in my book, laughing about it shows she has at least a sense of perspective.

[MadeInAmerica]

Uhhh, Usually the #1 reason from this has been would be.........


It's Bushs fault

[The G Man]

I wonder what her sister-in-law thinks about it? :-)

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Wonder how hard her sister-in-law chuckled at this list?

[vetvetdoug]

George Allen and Trent Lott could take a page from her play book. IMO Phillips did it right.

they're only B's in YOUR world because they're fair and balanced, you you know what.

mooch on, my dear, mooch on.

Good for Kyra. We all say stuff we regret, but very few have those words broadcast worldwide.

#1) I really really wanted my brother to get a divorce.

11. Thought she was Frank Drebbin of Police Squad.

I dislike the slant of the article; the problem was not Kyra Phillips.

If you listen to the audio, her mic is NOT online (it may be on and transmitting but the sound board control is OFF). Then, her mic is brought up, then up more, and Bush's feed is brought down. The levels are adjusted several times. A person went up to her and told her to switch off, but all that needed to be done was to have the sound engineer push the slider down, something the producer could have told him to do as soon as the problem started.

Someone at the control console brought her audio online and mixed it with the press conference feed- there is the error, not that Kyra did something wrong and should have left her mic off. What are all those guys in the control room for?

My bet is that the audio guys routinely listen in on the wireless mics as a goof. This time, they made a mistake and instead of the audio going to the in-studio monitors or the headphone jack, it went to the main bus, and out to all of us.

I'm glad she can make jokes about it but no way is this her fault. It sounds to me like she's been asked to take one for the team. If I were the person in charge of that control room I'd suspend pay for everyone in the room and fire the guy who brought that channel up on line. The whole thing is extremely unprofessional and is more like a college FM station than a national broadcasting station. And a goof at a college station would not have gone on for 85 seconds.

[IamHD]

I wonder if her siser-in-law is laughing too. LOL

[caisson71]

Some people just can't tell a joke.

[38special]

David Letterman is not funny, hasn't been for years.

[RoseofTexas]

"appeared on Thursday's Late Show with David Letterman to give her side of the story."

Funny how the lefty evil establishments are always quick to give the stupid lefties who put their foot in their mouths(which happens quit often) an opportunity to "clear things up" while the pubs get no airtime and are vilified to death! I LOATHE THE MSMwhores!! LOATHE THEM!!

[jpl]

I'll give this idiot a bit of credit, at least she can laugh at her own stupidity.

I wonder if her sister-in-law has forgiven her yet though. I kind of doubt it!

[Southack]

This spin shows that the broadcast news media has COMPLETE CONTEMPT for the American Public.

The broadcast news media thinks that the American public will glibly believe that the CNN Control Room doesn't exist...that this incident was an "accident" by a ditzy talking head rather than a deliberate episode of rude behavior meant to distract from President Bush's speech.

85 seconds. Come on!

What American TV viewer thinks that a professional control room would permit a mic gaffe to go on for almost a minute and a half?!

I'll bet that if anyone analyzes the tape that they'll find that the control room at CNN turned up Kyra's bathroom mic while simultaneously lowering the sound input from President Bush, too.

But the bigger point is not that CNN walked over President Bush's speech (churlish and unacceptable in and of itself), but rather that the Broadcast News Media thinks that the American Public is so dumb as to believe that this incident was the fault of a ditzy talking head rather than orchestrated by the Control Room.
