Barbara Walters Had An Interracial Affair: 'View' boss to tell the whole story on Tuesday's 'Oprah.'

*Barbara Walters just taped an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in which she revealed a past affair with an African American senator that lasted several years during the 1970s. A moderate Republican from Massachusetts who took office in 1967, Senator Edward Brooke was the first African-American to be popularly elected to the Senate.

This would have been intersting if she revealed this in the 70's but what's the importance orinterest in it in 2008?
Oprah is helping Walters to sell her book, this interview is a infomercial, nothing more

Why admit to slutty behavior? Some people will do anything to attract attention. I"ve lost any respect for her.

Its no big deal ,those in charge of offering advise on how to run our lives,or are critical of others life's are whats most of the media "wackadoos" are about.Hypocrites all!

She did nothing wrong,it was only an adulteries affair with a married guy.... Thats News??which one must say...Frankly who gives a dam!...I guess we do LOL!

[HUMMMM]

Not a newsbreaking story - they didn't get married so why is Barbara sharing this information? I might listen just to be nosey but its on Oprah's......I'm praying for her but not supporting her businesses. Guess I'll catch it in cyberspace......

I don't understand why after 30+ years she thinks she should come forward, and reveal this. Why not have told it back in the 70's, I do believe its to sell more of her books, because people are going to want to know details, and go out and buy her book.
