Almost four years ago, ABC’s Barbara Walters came out with her memoir
Audition, using as its selling point a tale of her tawdry 1970s affair
with married black Sen. Edward Brooke (R-Mass.). Seldom has a TV
personality been a more shameless public hypocrite than Walters was on
Friday with former Kennedy mistress Mimi Alford during an interview on
“The View.”
Walters battered Alford four times with the notion she was greedy, with four different outbursts like “She’ll make a lot of money!” (That
one came in the introduction.) Walters asked Alford why she would hurt
Caroline Kennedy and her family, and then assaulted her with the reverse
idea, that she could have “saved” Monica Lewinsky from ridicule if
she’d talked earlier. But mostly, she insisted the book "did not have to be written" and "You could have let it go!"
