I find Barbara’s feelings toward her own sister more disturbing.

Which were....? You piqued my curiosity!

[MEG33]

Kiss and tell seems all the rage now..Very bad form.
Shame on her.

[tobyhill]

This is the liberals way of thinking.

[wideawake]

I find Barbara’s feelings toward her own sister more disturbing.

Indeed.

Her attitude is reminiscent of the Kennedys' attitude.

[knarf]

Successful white chicks for successful black guys ... it’s OK now ... Bahbwah said so.

[dfwgator]

So Brooke got Fidel Castro’s “Sloppy Seconds.”

[r9etb]

Is she just coming out with this now because Obama’s running for president?

Or because she's getting ready to exploit the Paris Hilton Video route to greater fame and fortune.

[tobyhill]

That’s exactly why she’s disclosing it now.

[Williams]

Actually it was another CIA plot to get Castro. Had he not held onto her shoulders he would have fallen in.

[rawhide]

Why not let sleeping dogs lie? Why bring this out 3 decades later, for what purpose, what good?

[Mark]

Democrat,slut,home-wrecker.

[massgopguy]

I believe it was rumors of this affair that enabled Kerry to knock him off.

[Perdogg]

Let me guess, John Warner.

[Cyman]

Bahbwa was ashamed because her SISTER had a speech impediment???????

[Lijahsbubbe]

Does this make her the first Black woman newscaster? Like Clinton being the first Black President?

Off topic but now that I think of it, it’s pretty funny that Clinton loved that title, and now he and Hillary are being thrown under the bus for a Black candidate. Bwaha.

[evets]

guilty

[KarlInOhio]

In further news, Bill Clinton denies rumors that he has ever had sex with a senator.

[54skylark]

excuse me while I go burn that from my minds eye

[sarasota]

Of course it is. It all fits in the promotion.

[TNCMAXQ]

Brooke was beaten by Paul Tsongas in 1978. You think his affair with Barbara was an issue?

I do remember that 1978 election night and Barbara was talking with the newly re-elected Sen Chuck Percy and congratulating him while all he wanted to do was lament over the defeat over his good friend Ed Brooke. Barbara was actually a little embarrassed. Maybe she wanted to just change the subject.

Of course 6 years later “RINO” Percy also was defeated for re-election.
