| Geraldo Rivera and Barbara Walters in lurid love triangle |
| 2008-05-03 |
| Huffasnuffaluffagus Post Original Post: This morning on "Fox & Friends," Geraldo Rivera made an offensive and racially-charged joke about Barbara Walters' affair with married Senator Edward Brooke, who is black. Barbara told Oprah yesterday (in a show to air next week) that she had an affair in the 1970s with the Republican Senator from Massachusetts. "Once you go black, you don't go back," Geraldo joked. Video here. Update: In addition to making the racially-charged joke . . ., Geraldo admitted that he was "in love" with Barbara Walters in the 1970s and she rejected his advances. "I'll tell you one affair she didn't have," he told the co-hosts. "I put all my best moves on Barbara. ...I had been in love. I had a huge crush on Barbara." Eeeewww! That's sick. But Geraldo says she "gave [him] the brush off," pinching his cheek and saying, "Oh, you're so cute." Video here. |

| #13 Did Ms. Walters actually say she was in love with the senator, Darrell? I never followed her closely, but I always had the impression she was too career-centered to have room for any one else in her life. Her daughter must have suffered from that. I put all my best moves on Barbara.... And they weren't nearly good enough. Did that happen often to poor Mr. Revera, I wonder? |

| #12 Nice way to treat an 89 year old man you once loved. NOT! She's no better than Rosie or Geraldo. They're all jerks. |

| #8 The now 89 year old Brooke released this statement: "However, Mr. Brooke has stated he does not talk about his or other people's private lives when asked for a statement on May 2, 2008" I wonder if the fossilized media bimbo would make this kind of lurid revelation about a Democrat? Ed Brooke is one of the good guys and he was a good senator. He deserves better. |
