Florida’s two senators are making good on their end of a bet with Pennsylvania’s two senators on the World Series.
Republican Mel Martinez and Democrat Bill Nelson, with the Tampa Bay Rays having lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, are sending the Keystone state’s Republican Arlen Specter and Democrat Bob Casey a box of citrus, Cuban pastries, Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish, and copies of the Columbia Restaurant Spanish Cookbook.
An accompanying letter with a picture of citrus on it reads:
“The oranges are still a little bitter over the Rays’ loss. It will take till the end of November for them to sweeten … (Actually – Mother Nature dictated the schedule for citrus ripening. Florida citrus will be at their peak ripeness in a few weeks. After Thanksgiving, the Offices of Senators Mel Martinez and Bill Nelson will deliver a bushel of this year’s harvest to the winning senators.)”
