"But...He's Gay!" - Neatorama

(Video Link)

This video shows a terrible and rather odd gaffe by newscaster Cynthia Izaguirre of KOAT-7 of Albuquerque. It dates back to at least 2006.

Do you really think it's that big of a deal? I mean... people accidentally let their words get ahead of them all the time. I don't think it shows any bias or prejudice on the newscasters part in the slightest!

It is totally hilarious though...

She's from KOAT-7 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, not WFAA-8.

She appears on the WFAA bio pages, and not the KOAT bios, Gabe.

I don't live near either place, but it's possible she does work for both stations.

I just wonder what she was thinking about since the two things seemed to have nothing to do with each other.

Good catch, Gabe. Unless the channels haven't updated their pages, she works at both.

I can answer the question about "Izzy". She used to work at KOAT. She left in 2007. I can say that a lot of people here, still miss her.

I loved how she just kept on rolling with that.

I guess she wasn't paying attention to the teleprompter.

Projecting maybe?

Classic.

great old clip, though IIRC, there was more to this that was really hysterical - they cut to the blind guy and his reaction was really funny too.

google it up, yo.

I live by the rule that you base your opinion on what somebody means, not on what they say. We all say things the wrong way. If you give someone the chance to clarify what they meant, 99% of the time unexpected disagreements are just misundrstandings.

This woman made an obvious gaffe. She is infront of a camera, under pressure and trying to think about 10 things at once.

It is funny though.

Look no news gaffe will ever top 'Keep fucking that chicken', so newscasters just might as well stop making gaffes now. The competition is officially over for all time.

If anyone looked at the link I provided, you would have read about the segment that was on prior to them going to break. Then you would understand her gaffe.
