NY, PA Senators Make Food Bet, Now All Hoping Other Team Wins



If the Phills win, Arlen "human skull" Specter gets a cheesecake. Yeah, right... he's gonna sit with the moderates and inhale a 10,000-calorie stimulus package. If Philly wins, Arlen better pass a health care plan quick, one that includes emergency bypasses.

If we win, the statesmen and stateswomen of the NY delegation get a whopping-big Cheese-Whiz infested, no-meat-that-science-can-identify Philly cheese steak, which Kristen "Not Caroline Kennedy" Gillebrandt can eat with a salad fork. When Chuck Schumer stares into it, this is what he'll see.


NOTE: PA originally sought a wager with NY Gov. David Paterson. They promised an autographed photo of Barack Obama, which was in actuality a glossy of David Hasselhoff.
