The Walters Affair

However horrible it is now to picture The View's slightly doddering senior, Barbara Walters, being intimate with a man, she did in fact have her share of flings. On Tuesday's Oprah she admits to having a yearslong affair in the 1970s with Edward Brooke, the Republican senator from Massachusets. "I was certainly involved," Walters tells Winfrey. "He was exciting. He was bwilliant. It was exciting times in Washington." Brooke was the first African-American to be popularly elected into the Senate, in 1967, and because their romance would have ruined both their careers had it been made public, Walters waited until now to tell it in her new memoir, Audition.
