Oops! CNN Airs Anchor's Girl Talk Over Bush Speech is a post at NewsBusters.com about Kyra Phillips on-air blooper. She had her wireless mic on while she was in the restroom. And her comments were broadcast for over a minute before they figured it out. I saw part of this on Leno last night. It includes using "***hole" and calling her sister-in-law a control freak. If you want the transcript and video, click the link above. This link will take you straight to the mp3 audio.

Boy, how do you talk your way out of this one?

    I am not sure what has happened to the links in this post. They worked fine yesterday. Now I can’t find Newsbusters on the web at all. Hopefully they will be back soon.

    You’re not going crazy. I followed the link yesterday and it was there.

    Good rule of thumb — when you are already in a hole, it’s time to stop digging.

    “You’re not going crazy.”
    Melissa would like to get a second opinion on that but that is another story.
    Thanks for the link. I just checked and Newsbusters and it is back.
    I gotta tell you, I would love to be a little mouse in the corner at Phillips next family gathering.

    Was everyone in the control booth high (or drunk)? I would expect the sound guys in church to hit mute on the system if I failed to switch my mike to standby. Maybe they just thought George W speech needed to be made a little more interesting, now that I could appreciate!

    That was an awfully long time. I wonder the person running the equipment still has a job.
