“While Texas is famous for its two-step, I am about to show Congressman Barton my own: first the Giants will be victorious; second, I will enjoy his pecan pie.”
— House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who refers to herself as a dark chocolate connoisseur in her Twitter bio, talking a little World Series smack to Republican Texas Rep. Joe Barton.
The bet? If the Texas Rangers win, Pelosi will owe Barton an assortment of San Francisco’s Ghirardelli chocolates; if the San Francisco Giants win, Speaker Pelosi will have her deep-dish pecan pie from Barton, and eat it too.
