Have you seen this angry exchange between CNN’s American Morning co-anchors John Roberts and Kiran Chetry?
Just as Roberts was introducing White House advisor David Axelrod on Wednesday morning, he reprimanded Chetry for something she was doing off-camera.
Mediaite.com describes the uncomfortable situation:
“Let me ask you first of all,” pause, smile, restart. “Let me ask you first of all, David, if I could, before we get into the…”
Full stop. Then, Roberts turned to where Chetry was sitting next to him (she had been on camera earlier in the segment), and said, with Axelrod still in the double-box shot: “Would you mind not doing that while I’m talking? Thank you, I appreciate that.” Then, added for emphasis and sarcasm, “If you don’t mind.”
And then back to the interview.
Here’s the video clip:
What was Chetry doing off-camera that caused Roberts to snap? We have a few possibilities:
- Printing out a cover letter to accompany the resume she was sending to Fox News
- Laughing at Rick Sanchez videos on YouTube
- Tweeting that she couldn’t decide if David Axelrod looks more like Hitler or that guy who played Higgins on Magnum P.I.
- Doing some hands-on research for the Christine O’Donnell anti-masturbation campaign
- Drawing Mohammed
- Painting Anderson Cooper’s nails
- Slipping Viagra into Larry King’s coffee
- Slipping saltpeter into Larry King’s coffee
- Playing with Roberts’ bottle of Ritalin pills
- Tapping out the letters A-D-H-D in Morse code with her pen
- Tweeting, “Axelrod. Isn’t that redundant?”
- Daydreaming about taking that gig as the Jets locker room correspondent
- Breast-feeding Larry King
- Waxing
- Eating a banana with hits of whipped cream straight out of the can
- Sock puppet reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg
- Calculating pi on an abacus
- Showing Joey Chestnut her own special hot dog eating technique
- Pulling the skin on her face back until she looked like Nancy Pelosi
- Trying to get a free cell phone from IHateTheMedia.com

Who watches CNN??
Crap man. Video not here.
She was taking care of that " tingle " up the leg
Never heard of them. Besides, were there any viewers?
Lib or Conservative, she is quite nice to look at.
Well, I know she used to be, I haven't seen her since she was on Fox.
There has been an "Amber Alert" out for her since she left FoxNews for CNN. Yes she is a hot piece of ass, & a horse's ass. Here is a story about the issues involving Chetry's contract negotiations with Fox before they told her hit the bricks, & why...

...Chetry & her representation effed up & she lost her gig at FoxNews. She has'nt been seen since.
She is an horrible person for wanting someone else to get fired. She probably envied Gretchen because she actually has brains along with the looks. I have no idea who this chick is and even if I saw a picture I probably still wouldn't know who she is. If she regrets her move it is her own fault.
Tweeting, “Axelrod. Isn’t that redundant?”
You guys are hysterical.
She's not smart enough to get that joke. She's on TV because she's hot, not because she's smart.
What happened to that girl? When she worked for Fox she was so nice and seemed to be a conservative and then she moved over to CNN and her whole personality changed? Was it the love of money? Was she just pissed off because Fox dumped her or is there something in the water at CNN?
I"m thinking it's number 20. I mean who *hasn't* got a free cell phone from ihatethemedia.com? I know I have!
...and the minutes are up. You guys said you take care of it yet the light is still blinkin'...
