Barbara Walters, 1000, is a home-wrecker! She went on Oprah Winfrey, and the esteemed TV journalist revealed that she had an affair with a black, married senator in the 1970s. Get it, Babwa! Don't you let anyone try to rein in your sexy! That's pretty spicy, even for the sexual revolution.

According to transcripts of the interview, Barbara said she met U.S. Senator Edward Brooks in the 1970s and was his other woman until 1978. At the time, she was co-host of NBC's Today show but would make the jump to ABC. Brooks was a moderate Republican who hailed from Massachusetts, which explains everything. We Massholes are lusty people.

Barbara says that they were both aware that if it got out that they were banging, they would lose their careers. Gee, he must have been quite the detective if he came to that conclusion. Brooks later divorced and remarried but he's not commenting on Babs' claims. Is she trying to sell a book? Yep. It's a memoir called Audition.

Oprah, who gets low marks for not asking Kristin Davis about her sex scandal yesterday when she had the Sex & The City banshees on, did ask Barbara if it was love.

"I was certainly -- I don't know -- I was certainly infatuated. I was certainly involved. He was exciting. He was brilliant. It was exciting times in Washington," she said. Translation - the peen was all sorts of right. You don't have a years long affair just running on "infatuation." He was pulling her hair and banging her off walls! Underneath those tailored suits is a wanton woman!
