John Edwards Hits the Bar Scene

As the jury in the John Edwards trial continues deliberations this week, the New York Post reports the former presidential candidate “flexed his trial-lawyer charm on pretty Andrea Love, 25, at the dive Bowbarr just outside of Chapel Hill, NC, last spring.”

Said Love: “I met him by the bar. I was kind of amused by the situation. He seemed like a charming guy.”

“Love said Edwards tried to schmooze her by telling her he was looking forward to practicing law again — and wanted to represent the poor.”

Gawker: “Leering, accusatory articles such as these are just media voyeurism dressed up as concern trolling. Being very concerned about John Edwards hitting on a 25-year-old is much more perverted than John Edwards hitting on a 25-year-old.”
