You might have missed this, and who could blame you if you had, but Representatives Grace Meng of New York and Lynne Jenkins of Kansas have a bet riding on the World Series. So look out, constituents: Things can get crazy when elected officials try to act all human-like.
Meng, from Queens, is backing the Mets, of course, and Jenkins is for the Kansas City Royals. The particulars of their bet call for the losing lawmaker to don the winning team’s jersey and be photographed in said jersey while congratulating the winner of the bet — thus ensuring preservation of another politician’s awkward smile for posterity.
