Bush Tapdances While Wating For McCain
WASHINGTON (AP) — Left waiting for John McCain, President Bush paced back and forth and finally broke into a little tap dance at the White House on Wednesday.
Bush was playing for the cameras and stalling for time at the North Portico while waiting for McCain to show up for an endorsement of his campaign as the Republican presidential nominee. It was an unusual scene — the almost-always punctual Bush left cooling his heels for McCain. The president clapped his hands in impatience and called to his personal aide about the delay.
Finally he did a little jig. “I’m just going to tap dance the day away,” Bush said with a laugh.
It became clear McCain wasn’t yet in the driveway or approaching the White House.
“We’ll start over, play it like it never happened,” Bush joked to reporters.
Then, he turned on his heel and walked back into the White House.
McCain and his wife, Cindy, arrived a few seconds later and Bush re-emerged.
