A Really Smart Way to Apologize
As most know, Kyra Phillips, CNN anchorperson/newsreader, made a trip to the ladies room recently while George Bush was explaining once again to the American people why the So-Called War On Terrorism (SCWOT – pronounced “squat”) is winnable, even if not during his term in office. Going to the john seems like a sensible thing to do on such occasions. Unfortunately, her wireless microphone was left on while she conversed with a colleague about her family, especially her “control freak” sister-in-law.
In the aftermath she apologized, and then she did a really smart thing. Rather than backpedal or dissemble, she moved into action. On the Letterman Show, she read the “Top Ten List”. In this case the lit was the ‘Top Ten Kyra Phillips Excuses”. It was a very funny bit, and served to diffuse any possible negative outcome from such a flub.
