Kyra Phillips unwittingly upstaged the president as she blithely gabbed about her fabulous hubby - and “control freak” sister-in-law - during a Kyra Phillips ladies room chatfest with an unknown woman.

CNN was officially on the toilet Tuesday.

I was going to post this but forgot to. It could of been worse though, she only insulted her SIL, not her employer, a specific group of people, etc. And being that she was in the bathroom, the mic could of really picked up a lot worse.

Your comment and the entire incident involving CNN's Kyra Phillips reminded me of that scene with Leslie Nielsen in the movie "The Naked Gun". It's where Nielsen's character goes to the bathroom to relieve himself during a press conference event, not realizing that his microphone was still on, and everyone at the press conference could hear the noises in the bathoom! LOL

It reminded me of that movie, too. I didn't even know that that was really possible until this story broke. I thought that the tech people would turn off the reporter's mics when they're not broadcasting.
