NEW YORK - Kyra Phillips, anchor of CNN's "Live From...," unwittingly upstaged President Bush's speech in New Orleans with on-the-air analysis of her husband and the marriage of her brother — all live from a CNN ladies room.

Unaware that her wireless microphone was "live" during her break, Phillips could be heard overriding Bush's prepared address Tuesday as he was seen marking the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

The Atlanta-based Phillips, in conversation with an unidentified woman in an echoey room, dismissed most men with a vulgar term, but called herself "very lucky in that regard. My husband is handsome and he is genuinely a loving — you know, no ego — you know what I'm saying? Just a really passionate, compassionate, great, great human being. And they exist. They do exist. They're hard to find. Yup. But they are out there."

A few moments later, she observed that "brothers have to be, you know, protective. Except for mine. I've got to be protective of him."

Why? "His wife is just a control freak."

At that point, another voice cut in: "Kyra."

"Yeah, baby?" replied Phillips on hearing her name.

"Your mike is on. Turn it off. It's been on the air."

CNN anchor Daryn Kagan, looking flustered, then broke into the telecast with a recap of what Bush had been saying.

Phillips later apologized to viewers "for an issue we had with our mikes" and "for a little bit of an interruption there during the president."

CNN issued its own official statement, explaining the network had "experienced audio difficulties during the president's speech today in New Orleans. We apologize to our viewers and the president for the disruption."

The network also apologized to the White House.

And this just after Johnny Drama forgot to turn his mic off while "relieving stress" on Entourage.

I can do a better job than she can, as President. I know where the Executive Rest Room is!

I guess this goes to show how bad the ratings at CNN are, not even CNN watches CNN.

called herself "very lucky in that regard. My husband is handsome and he is genuinely a loving — you know, no ego — you know what I'm saying?"

She bought a lock box like Hillary has?

[weegee]

CNN programming has gone down the toilet.

I don't watch SeeBS much but I did have it on last week and caught a bumper spot that said CBScares.

Yep. "SEEBS Scares!"

[weegee]

Wardrobe malfunction.

[weegee]

Has CNN bothered to rebroadcast the ORIGINAL SPEECH uninterrupted?

Naw, it's that guy Mr. Bush.

[martin_fierro]

Knock-knock.

Who's there?

Control Freak. Now you say, "Control Freak who?"

[kesg]

Yeah baby indeed. :)

[spectre]

Kyra might not have the chance to be "protective" of her brother any longer...His wife is going to pull the ultimate end all in control freak power...."It's ME or your sister"?

And I wouldn't blame her..

[msnimje]

Control Freak Who?

[BurbankKarl]

I am sure Kyra has trimmed her Bush comments to a minimum

[GovernmentShrinker]

Kyra is no doubt terribly embarrassed, but I suspect that one or more people in the control room are now unemployed.

I remember that--Naked Gun actually

My "Wife-to-English Dictionary" translates this as "I'm lucky to have a doormat for a husband. He does what I tell him." And then she goes on to complain about her sister in law being a control freak!
