CNN anchor Kyra Phillips ran off at the mouth while taking a leak. Her microphone was left on while she went to the bathroom during a presidential speech, broadcasting her comments about her husband and her sister-in-law live from the ladies' room.

She called herself herself "very lucky" to have a "handsome" and "great, great human being" for a husband.

She also called her brother's wife a "control freak."



A few days later, Kyra appeared on Late Night with David Letterman to read a Top Ten List about her experience:
