In the case of Walters, her revelation is timed perfectly. Especially for her liberal friends.
As they all pat themselves on the back, feeling morally superior to those racists who won’t vote for a black man, she’s topped them with this: “You’re voting for one? Well, sister, that’s nothing: I’ve slept with one! And it wasn’t just yesterday, you know. It was THIRTY years ago. And not just any old black man, mind you; he had his own share of power and charm…”
There may very well have been other indiscretions she could have revealed. She chose this one for a very good – and self-serving – reason. Too bad if it leaves others hurting. She’s feeling awfully special right now.
