At a press conference on Monday, American tennis stud Andy Roddick said that although he has the day off from the Legg Mason Classic today, he didn’t expect to be bored. After all, he said, “there’s a lot worse places to worry about filling a day” than D.C.
Because you can, oh, tour the White House? Early this afternoon, Roddick got a grand tour, which included the East Wing and the executive residence, according to a White House spokeswoman. She said that Roddick’s people reached out to the Visitors Office, who set up the visit.
Roddick exulted via Twitter that “this is so cool.” And finally, “Just met the president’s dog! So cute.”
No word on whether he threw Bo any tennis balls.
