How does this play with the big X over the VP's face? I guess we forgot that one already.

Perhaps it was Kyra's way of passing a "subliminibal" message to Bush to either ---- or get off the pot.

How could she give a recap to a speech she didn't hear? Makes you think that CNN had a recap already loaded into the teleprompter. A pre-written spin on a speech before it was given, delivered by a woman who wasn't listening. She didn't have too. Her boss did her thinking for her. Maybe all the news we get from CNN is him doing us the same favor.

Okay, maybe I a little warped but I am wondering what the "control freak" sister-in-law is saying about being outsted. Is she giving Kyra a hard time?

Kyra didn't do anything that I wouldn't have done during a speech by President Bush. I quit listening to the guy a long time ago. Also put the blame on the control room where it belongs. The one thing I really want to know is what is she going to say to her sister-in-law.

Anyone here remember the naked gun movie? Is this life imitating art?

Why doesn't "Katie" Curic finally become Kate? Her wrinkles testify to advancing age just like her need for on air air brushing. Grow up Kate, you are the one who doesn't want to be known as "cute".

What i don't understand is why this is even an issue that it has to be covered. Sure Kyra embarrased, but move on. Don't make a hype about everything. S'''happens but it's no tragedy

What's to summarize? We've heard it all before and it's mostly lies anyway. You don't really think she writes her own reporting do you?

If she would have talked bits and pieces of her *** life while in the bathroom, she would be a celebrity by now...management would be delighted (though not outwardly), ratings would spike a little bit, and appearance at the Tonight Show with Jay Leno guaranteed. If I were Kyra, I would have taken that risk.

What she was doing taking a bathroom break during a live to begin with. (Apart from the obvious answer.) Doesn't she have to summarize what the President has said?

Sorry, I can't go along with Oh well!! Why does this snafu surprise anyone? I watch MSNBC religiously and grit my teeth at hearing supposedly educated reporters using terms like "curiouser and curiouser" (Joe Scarborough and Monica Crowley) The ineptness of some of these people if it weren't so pathetic would be laughable. It all comes down to professionalism and what is obviously the lack of. This chick has been wearing a microphone on her job for a long time...you'd have thought she would know BY NOW to take it off or turn it off...DUH!!

CNN for some time now has been in the toilet. Their diversion from news to ex-lawyer hosted mind numbing alarmest babble has served up a good reason to cancel cable. Meanwhile, this latest breaking news item from the toilet pretty much tells you what is going on at CNN.
