CNN's Kyra Phillips was introducing a guest Roland Martin Wednesday afternoon when she couldn't get the word "contributor" out, saying instead "cunt, cunt, contributor." But she was able to laugh after making the awkward mistake.

Isn't that the term on endearment that McCain uses on all his female staffers? (and his wife)
Yep. He means it affectionately, lol....
An innocent mistake, probably. No one is perfect.
Seriously, this was a waste of 30 seconds of my life. Only a 14 year old boy with hormones raging out of control would make that connection. She simply said the first syllable of 'contribute' twice.
a 54 year old Howard Stern will definitely make that connection.
Bababooey
Howard did play the Kyra Phillips clip during Robin's news this morning. On a related noted, Marcia Brady (Maureen McCormick) said also said c*nt during her interview with Howard this morning.
A little off topic, but you brought it up first. What is this "Bababooey" thing that is connected with Howard stern? I just never can find an answer to that. Maybe someone here would know.
I was going to say, or a 54-year old man with hormones raging out of control....(Hey, it never ends, right?)
Freudian slip...
She was only repeating what McCain said about his wife.
She really enunciated it. It's hard to imagine her apparent conviction in the use of the word in an accidental context. Hey, it's a funny editorial decision to use the word "c*nt" in the title but to disallow it in the comments.
C***t' Slip Up

I thought maybe she was interviewing Cindy McCain.
Great freudian slip...
I agree with the posters here. A non-story.
That would have to be a Freudian slip.
I liked how the mistake was placed upon the repub. strategist Sanchez. Though I think it was an honest mistake, it was really funny =D
never really liked Sanchez, so I might be biased.
BTW, did anyone else notice that both the headline and the story text used the word c*nt fully spelled out but that use of that same word in a post from any of us would result in the immediate deletion of the post?*
Nice double standard, HuffPo.

*I tried it with a previous version of this post and it was deleted.
You're absolutely right. I posted a reply to your message here, and I used the word c**t, but spelled it out, just to see if it would be deleted, and it was.
I c#nt believe she said that.
wow, I don't know what to say about that, regarding intention. Funny though
