Looking for a "passionate, compassionate, great, great" man? Well, according to CNN’s Kyra Phillips, they do indeed exist.
During CNN’s live coverage of President Bush’s remarks from New Orleans, Phillips was unaware that her microphone was on and picked up portions of a conversation she was having with another woman, apparently in a CNN restroom. At 12:49pm EDT, those listening carefully could hear Phillips praise her husband:
Phillips: "Yeah, I’m very lucky in that regard with my husband. 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."
Phillips also inadvertently revealed how she feels about her sister-in-law:
Phillips: "..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 his wife is just a control freak."
The full transcript is behind the cut [including one vulgarity]:
The audio of Phillips’ conversation could be heard overriding President Bush’s remarks approximately ten minutes into the President’s speech. While the President could be heard during the exchange, Phillips’ gaffe was very distracting:
Kyra Phillips: "–s–Yeah, I’m very lucky in that regard with my husband. My husband is handsome and he is genuinely a loving, you know, no ego–[unintelligible] 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."
[unidentified woman]: ‘We’ll see. He’s going to come, you know, he’s set for an extended visit–[unintelligible]"
Phillips: "I mean, that’s, that’s how you figure it all out, those extended visits. [laughter]"
[unidentified woman]: "Yeah, but my mom, I think she really likes him."
Phillips: "Mom’s got a good vibe? Good."
[unidentified woman]: "Yeah, my brother’s the one that–[unintelligible]"
Phillips: "Brother–of course, brothers have to be, you know, protective. Except for mine. I’ve got to be protective of him."
[unidentified woman–unintelligible]
Phillips: "Yeah. He’s married, three kids, but his wife is just a control freak."
[unidentified woman #2]: "Kyra."
Phillips: "Yeah, baby?"
[unidentified woman #2]: "Your mic is on. Turn it off. It’s been on the air."
Seconds later, Daryn Kagan stumbled through this awkward transition:
Daryn Kagan: "Alright, we’ve been listening in to President Bush as he speaks in, uh, New Orleans today. This is the one year anniversary of Katrina making land shore there. President Bush saying if another natural disaster hits, our country–we must, uh, react better than that. Let’s listen in once again to President Bush."

Such declaration of love for a significant other is A LOT more meaningful than anything that Bush person had to say about Katrina.
We all profitted more from this "accident" than we would if it didn't have happened. |

I found the contempt for the "control freak" sister-in-law to be a lot more interesting. Wonder how that'll go over at the next family function. |

Yeah but, at least she showed some positive feeling for her brother... and we're not going to know what will happen next Thanksgiving :D |

You make a good point. I just hope the husband appreciates her company after her suspension or possible job lose. |

Sometimes, that's the least important ;) |

I want to hear more about this, I hope there is a follow up. What happened to Kyra's sister-in-law, why is she a control freak? And what happened with the guy the unidentified woman met? |
I missed this the first time I read your post.
The follow-up, as expected, will be on The Daily Show or The Colbert Report or both. Come on man, this is basic. |
