“Come Back And See Us Again, OK?”

Kyra Phillips, our favorite douche-baguette, to Stevie Wonder.

Kyra, your doctor called and he’s concerned about the brain cells in your stool sample.

You might be digesting yourself.

Meet Kyra Phillips………..

NewsBusters:

Kyra Phillips works at CNN. We can’t say she’s a journalist or reporter because she doesn’t seem to report, rather she spews.

She could be called a “news reader” or “presenter” because she can use a teleprompter, but she seems to completely lack understanding of what she’s reading.

She can be amusing though, as in her Lincoln observations:

"[I]t’s not just not talk about Lincoln. It’s talk about Lincoln and the Obama connection. For example, this campaign flag [from Lincoln’s presidential campaign]. Look at this -- ‘Abram Lincoln.’ They even spelled his name wrong. So it wasn’t just Obama that’s been having issues with his name -- also, Abraham Lincoln. Just one of the parallels that we found as we’ve been spending time here….

“And it was here in the Old Capitol that Abraham Lincoln gave his famous ‘House Divided’ speech. A house divided against itself cannot stand, he proclaimed. Sound familiar? Fast-forward -- February 10th, 2007, Lincoln came to life here as if it were 1858.”

I wonder if she knows Lincoln was a Republican. In more Kyra fun:

"On August 29, 2006, during a CNN broadcast of President George W. Bush's speech on the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall, Phillips' microphone was left on while she was in the bathroom. Portions of a personal conversation were broadcast live for over a minute and a half, during which Phillips offered advice on men, criticized her sister-in-law for being a 'control freak,' and praised her husband. The conversation audio was mixed with the President's audio feed and both were discernible."

Kind of like Frank Drebin in Police Squad. Oh, and the aforementioned, praise-worthy husband?

"Phillips was married to A. John Assad (presumably the husband she praised in her famous open-mic incident of August 2006). In April 2008, she stated she is not married, indicating a divorce sometime in between." --Wikipedia

Wait! There’s more!

"On January 30, 2008, Phillips joked about making a 'reverse oreo' with black co-host Don Lemon and white female colleague Gerri Willis. Phillips used the term with sexual overtones (stating, 'yeah, good time'), much to the 'visual embarrassment' of Willis." -- Wikipedia

We don’t think this is someone to get information from. Some have suggested she’s good for only one thing, but you need duct tape.
