NEW YORK (AP) -- 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."
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.

Don't take it so hard. She was a pioneer -- think of Ed Brooke as "Obama Lite".
I heard she got past around like the village bicycle!
Hockey players don't count Laz. Those guys will hit anything.
New headline:
“Barbara Waters admits to being a whore”
Now we just need to find out if she every did it for money.
“Its twoo, its twoo...”
“Excuse me miss, but your (*deleted*)on my arm.” lol...one of my all time favorite comedies.
She already had fleas twice before so what did it matter that the guy was married and committed adultery on his wife.
Now she is so proud of her peccadilloes that she is using Oprah to trumpet a life of being a strumpet.
“Why not let sleeping dogs lie? Why bring this out 3 decades later, for what purpose, what good?”
sex sells books my friend
she has a book to sell
end of story
I hope he wore a full body condom for his own protection. Bubble-head disease is catching.
Tomorrow Barbara will reveal that she is a lesbian who had a threesome with Melissa Etheridge and Rosie O.
I heard that she and Helen Thomas did a 3-way with Che!
Read the article, she was embarrassed by her mentally challenged sister, who was totally loving but Barb didn’t feel the same and now Barb cries remembering how sweet her (dead) sister was.
Another presstitute comes clean.
“Also during the program, Walters chokes up while describing the struggles of her older sister Jackie, who was mentally retarded. Walters confesses that, as a child, she sometimes felt embarrassed by Jackie.”
What a self-important twit. Like most of the “truly compassionate” liberals, she really isn’t compassionate at all. It is, and always has been about her.
As the brother of a blind guy, I am sickened.
Brooke certainly had lousy taste. I wouldn’t give her 10 minutes.
What, I'm supposed to read the postings AND the article? ;)
She probably had sex with the plumber, too. Who cares?
Baba had affaya with Wepubwican Ed Bwooke.
