Barbara Walters Suffers No Fools
May 7th, 2008
As you may recall, Barbara Walters new memoir, Audition , contains a section which chronicles her affair with a married senator in the 1970s. Pretty racey there Babs!
Anyway…..Star Jones could not let this revelation go without a comment. Here is what Star has to say:
“It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book. It speaks to her true character.”
This did not go unnoticed by Babs. When contacted by the media, Barbara Walters’ rep said, “I will not dignify this with a comment. Barbara’s written words say it all!”
He should have said: “Yes, Barbara did have an affair with a married man. At least he was straight….unlike Star’s ex-husband!”

Barbara Walter’s life was influenced greatly by her older sister and she’s written a beautiful memoir about her life. I read another memoir of a life influence by a sibling that I recommend highly - I actually liked it even more. The memoir is “”My Stroke of Insight”" by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Dr Taylor became a Harvard brain scientist to find the cause and cure for schizophrenia because her older brother was a sufferer. Then, crazy as life can be, Dr. Taylor had a stroke at age 37. What was amazing was that her left brain was shut down by the stroke - where language and thinking occur - but her right brain was fully functioning. She experienced bliss and nirvana and the way she writes about it (or talks about it in her now famous TED talk) is incredible.
What I took away from Dr. Taylor’s book above all, and why I recommend it so highly, is that you don’t have to have a stroke or take drugs to find the deep inner peace that she talks about. Her book explains how. “”I want what she’s having”", and thanks to this wonderful book, I can!
