So have you ever done something completely embarrassing like fall flat on your face or stick your foot in your mouth at an inopportune moment? Of course like me, you probably have but have you ever done it live on national television in front of millions of people???Back during the Democratic debate last month Larry King was caught on a live mic making some comments in regards to the way the show was being run and it made me think to a few years back when CNN news anchor Kyra Phillips had an unfortunate incident involving the ladies room and a live microphone. Kyra accidentally left her mic on when she went to the ladies room while covering a speech by President Bush in New Orleans – and her family gossip was broadcast live. In case you didn’t see it...

Great clips! I loved the way she ended up handling the whole incident. And she's right- it certainly made the speech memorable. :)
Yep, that's what you call making lemonade out of lemons, I think. Or something like that.
Love the clip Sapphire...I had heard a lot about it but never saw it or the Lettermen bit. Kyra was such a good sport cause you know things were a little tense with baby brother! Great fun!! Thanks.
That was great. I didn't see the Lettermen either. She really did handle it well.
Wonder if Michael Ware teased her about that when she was in Iraq...
I was just talking about this with someone earlier today. Now I can direct them to the videos you posted. Great timing and a great post.
I had missed it when it originally aired as well....I remember hearing about it but actually missed it
@ Phebe - well look at that timing, glad I was unknowningly able to help you out :P
Oh Sapphire, I just have never been able to watch this video because I hate watching uncomfortable situations. I'll try this weekend though, I promise.
But I love the post. Kyra really did a good job of laughing at her own mistake.
Thanks for the laugh, hon!
