Barbara Walters….
Okay, so Barbara Walters aka “Baba Wawa” has come out of the proverbial closet and admitted to having an affair with African-American, then-married Senator Edward Brooke (first African-American Member of Senate) during the 1970s —
Senator Brooke Then….
The question is why now, Barbara? We understand the need to sell your new book but….good lawd, Ms. Lady??!?
I must say that Ms. Barbara has taste….she didn’t settle for any okey-doke brotha…she headed straight to the TOP…
Now, looking at photos of Senator Brooke, is not like she went for a Wesley Snipes type and really got her Swirl on but I guess that is close enough right? After all, the book is entitled “Audition” so we know that in showbiz, you need to be able to play the role to get the Top job…aight!
Senator Brooke Now
I thought this was HILARIOUS watching the Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday and hearing what the viewers had to say about this new revelation….f you missed it, here’s a preview!
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!
