CBS News Correspondent Embroiled In Career-Defining Sex Scandal

Doesn't she kinda look like Liz Hurley in this photo?

When Lara Logan, a CBS News and 60 Minutes correspondent in Iraq, was on the Daily Show last week, she caused a minor furor for chastising the media's coverage of the war. Who would've thought that would all be forgotten so soon, brushed aside when word of a big stinker of a sex scandal broke last night?

The Enquirer has learned exclusively that CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes foreign correspondent, Lara Logan, has been named as the “other woman” in a Texas couple Joe and Kimberly Burkett's bitter divorce.

Burkett’s wife Kimberly, 32, was so distraught with his cheating that she took an overdose of Valium...

Kimberly Burkett's attorney Susie Chmielowiec told The Enquirer, “Kimberly believes Lara stole her husband – and now they’re trying to steal her little girl."

The we're-not-too-sure-this-is-true National Enquirer story goes on to detail Katie Couric's "outrage" at the alleged behavior, Burkett's State Department job (how risque of them), and erotically-charged encounters in Baghdad safe houses.

Of course, this can only help Logan's career-- until the other day, she was all but completely under the radar. Now, she's on her way to becoming the next Paula Zahn! Meanwhile, Kimberly Burkett will have to look at Lara's mug everytime she turns on the TV for the next twenty years... ouch.

Paula Zahn was trash. Logan will be a breath of fresh air to the dead American journalism offered by news networks in America. Go Lara!

(and to the lady taking the valium..please stop. life's too short to dwell on sorrow over a marriage that seems to have been fraught with so much potential for disaster. moving on is the best revenge.)

I happen to know Kimberly.  She's taken her last three

boyfriends for a ride and this guy is no different.  

She's a criminal just like her father Henry Walls from  The Woodlands, Houston, Texas.  The apple doesn't fall

far from the tree!
