Baba Wawa likes the sexual chocolate.

After three decades of keeping mum, Barbara Walters now says she had a past affair with married U.S. Senator Edward Brooke, whom she remembers as "exciting" and "brilliant". Is that her or just the vagina talking?

The admission came during an appearance on The Fat Nougat Head Oprah Winfrey Show, which is scheduled to air next week, where Walters shared details of her relationship with Brooke that lasted several years in the 1970s. Was her upcoming memoir so in trouble of sales that an affair with a married man from the Shaft era necessary to capitalize on?

A moderate Republican from Massachusetts (read: light skinned) who took office in 1967, Brooke was the first African-American to be elected to the Senate. Both he and Walters knew that public knowledge of their affair could have ruined his career as well as hers. At the time, the twice-divorced Walters was a rising star in TV news and co-host of NBC's Today show, in swift comparison to her personal life). Her affair with Brooke had ended before he lost his bid for a third term in 1978. Brooke later divorced, and had since remarried - no word if it was to a white woman or one with a speech impediment.

Also during the program, Walters choked up while describing the struggles of her older sister Jackie, who was mentally retarded. Hmmm, two public figures having an inter-racial affair and sis is the retarded one? One can only surmise the other torrid details and shameful admissions in her upcoming book, but unless there's a tale of her masturbating on Ted Koppel's hairpiece, I won't be too interested in it.
