Barbara Walters has just revealed that she had an affair with a married US Senator, Edward Brooke, during the late 1960's. Brooke was the first African-American Senator ever popularly elected to the Senate. The story came out during Walters' appearance on Oprah to discuss her new autobiography "Audition". This revelation is stunning for a number of reasons:
1- Millions of Americans are seeing the vulnerable, imperfect side of Barbara Walters for the first time.
2- Millions of Americans have now been forced to picture Barbara Walters having sex.
3- Millions of Americans have just learned that Barack Obama isn't the first black US Senator.
I've always respected Barbara Walters. Now I worship her. What a bad ass! For decades, Barbara has turned the public mirror on the imperfections of others in her notoriously sappy and emotional interviews- cheaters, liars, criminals, crazy people (what up, Heche*) and the like. It definitely takes some integrity to turn that mirror on yourself. Well done, you old trollop.
*Heche- total sidenote- I saw you riding bikes with that dude from Men in Trees like two weeks ago in Venice. It took every ounce of self-control in me (and the desperate urging of those around me) to not scream- CELESTIA!
