Barbara Walters Admits to Secret Affair

barbarawalters.jpgBarbara Walters
is shaking things up!

Babs has a new book coming out -- it's called Audition -- and it's filled with her memoirs, which apparently include a secret affair she had in the '70s with a married senator. Barbara tells Oprah (of course), in a show set to air on Tuesday, that she and Sen. Edward Brooke were freakin' in the bedroom for years! The rascally View host called her lover "exciting" and "brilliant", and admitted to Ops that she had it bad. "I was certainly infatuated ... It was exciting times in Washington."

Barbara was an up-and-coming journalist, who was scared that, if word of the affair hit the press, all of her hard work would be for nothing.

"This is going to come out," she said a friend warned her. "This is going to ruin your career ... This is going to ruin him. You've got to break this off.'"

Huh -- it's hard to picture Barbara Walters as a seductive temptress looking for a thrill, but it's a nice reminder that she is human. I may even read this now...

It's hard to imagine her as anything other than old but she was once young..........and apparently a little bit of a tart. I'm sure this will make people more interested in her and her book. Hmmm...says something about people doesn't it?

Why is this news worthy? And, why did she have to on Oprah to reveal past indiscretions. She could've done that from the View. The other ladies would've love that revelation....

It doesn't really surprise me at all. She is bright and intense, and I can totally see her being swept away by power and politics.

I have a question... who actually enjoys hearing about a morally bankrupt woman and man getting it on. It makes me sick that america celebrates such a whore and can't believe that we put up with senators and even presidents who can't keep their penis's in their pants. They can't even keep trust between their companions and they think they should keep the trust of the american people. Sickening.
