John Edwards, a former trial lawyer and a politician, has never been particularly shy about talking to the press, but...
About a dozen reporters and photojournalists
attended a speech Edwards gave to an AARP Foundation symposium on
poverty and aging in Washington. Afterward, he avoided most of the
waiting reporters, at least some of whom wanted to question him
about recent reports in the National Enquirer that alleged an
inappropriate relationship with a former campaign videographer....
Edwards apparently ducked out a side area used by the kitchen staff in the fourth-floor ballroom of Washington's historic Hotel Monaco. Edwards emerged from a lower-level handicap ramp near the rear of the hotel with two men. When approached by a Charlotte Observer reporter, Edwards said, "Can't do it now, I'm sorry" and quickly walked past.
Asked what he was doing at the Beverly Hilton last week, Edwards said "sorry" and got into a waiting car with the other men.
