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's gaffe was very
distracting:

Kyra Phillips: ""assholes.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."

Flushing CNN anchor goes on Letterman

Fri Sep 1, 3:19 PM ET

CNN anchor Kyra Phillips, whose ladies room chatter found its way onto her newscast, bounced back two days later with a "Top 10 List" of excuses on the "Late Show with David Letterman."

The mishap had happened Tuesday when Phillips, still wearing her wireless microphone, visited the loo while CNN aired President Bush's speech from New Orleans. For a minute or so her voice commingled with his, as she was heard telling an unidentified woman how great her husband is, then mentioned that her sister-in-law is "a control freak." Only then was she alerted that her mike was live.

How could such a thing happen? A game but still embarrassed-looking Phillips set Letterman (and his CBS audience) straight — or at least, left them laughing.

Top Ten Kyra Phillips Excuses Presented by CNN Anchor Kyra Phillips:

10. "Still haven't mastered complicated On/Off switch."

9. "Larry King told me he does this all the time."

8. "How was I supposed to know we had a reporter embedded in the bathroom?"

7. "I honestly never knew this sort of thing was frowned upon."

6. "Couldn't resist chance to win $10,000 on 'America's Funniest Home Videos.'"

5. "I was set up by those bastards at Fox News."

4. "Oh, like YOU'VE never gone to the bathroom and had it broadcast on national television!"

3. "I just wanted that hunky Lou Dobbs to notice me."

2. "OK, so I was drunk and couldn't think straight."

1. "You have to admit, it made the speech a lot more interesting."
