Edward Brooke

I’ve never been a fan or admirer of Barbara Walters. And although I’m also not a fan of Star Jones, I don’t like how Barbara threw Star under the bus. In short, I don’t care for Barbara at all and have always been suspicious of why that gal cannot keep a man. She goes from man to man to man, constantly getting divorced. 

In addition to her serial divorces, this chick also has no respect for marriage in general. Look at how she gushes about her affair with the married former U.S. Senator and Uncle Tom, Edward Brooke:

After three decades of keeping mum, Barbara Walters is disclosing a past affair with married U.S. Senator Edward Brooke, whom she remembers as “exciting” and “brilliant.”

Barbara Walters says in her new book that she had an affair with Massachusetts Sen. Edward Brooke.

Appearing on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” scheduled to air Tuesday, Walters shares details of her relationship with Brooke that lasted several years in the 1970s, according to a transcript of the show provided to The Associated Press.

A moderate Republican from Massachusetts who took office in 1967, Brooke was the first African-American to be popularly elected to the Senate. Both he and Walters knew that public knowledge of their affair could have ruined his career as well as hers, Walters says.

At the time, the twice-divorced Walters was a rising star in TV news and co-host of NBC’s “Today” show, but would soon jump to ABC News, where she has enjoyed unrivaled success. Her affair with Brooke, which never before came to light, had ended before he lost his bid for a third term in 1978.

Brooke later divorced, and has since remarried. Calls to a listing for Brooke in Miami by The Associated Press were not immediately returned Thursday.

Wonder how they kept it a secret for so long? Guess they were sneaking around in grimy, nasty hotel and motel rooms. Ush!
