Kurtz Apologizes for 'D--k' Moment
Broadcast journalists have to think on their feet. In this case, CNN’s “Reliable Sources” host Howard Kurtz got caught in the difficult subject of Rep. Anthony Weiner‘s (D-N.Y.) “now famous bulge” as he put it.
Kurtz was sporadically giggly throughout Sunday’s segment on Weiner. He also egged his guests on to bluntly discuss penis matters and then wondered, gee willikers what happened there?

MAUREEN O’CONNOR: Well, I personally only cover Capitol Hill for the underwear scandals.
