Hearne: Emanuel Cleaver’s Bad Bet

When it comes to Nancy Pelosi, be careful what you wish for…

President Trump learned that the hard way, after campaigning for Pelosi to be appointed Speaker of the House.

Now it’s KC congressman Emanuel Cleaver’s turn.

Cleaver – or as his relatives like to call him, Ralph – initiated a Super Bowl bet on the Chiefs with Pelosi, who represents San Francisco.

So if the Chiefs lose Sunday – and USA Today is forecasting just that – Cleaver will have to choke out “a selection” of Gates Bar-B-Q and Russell Stover Chocolates.

Not counting the fact that if Cleaver loses, he’ll probably deliver the goods free-of-charge courtesy of his longtime schmooze with Ollie Gates and Russell Stover.

That said, the value Gates- President’s Choice Platter – runs around 80 bucks, plus tax and a hefty overnight shipping fee Oh yeah .plus the inconsequential boxed candy.

Pelosi, on the other hand, is getting off cheap, with a boring hodgepodge of “California treats” like (yawn) See’s Candies, pistachios and walnuts.

And while See’s blows away Russell Stover in most taste tests, boxed candy and nuts seems boring, plus it’s probably a lot cheaper to ship.

Oh well, let’s hope Ralph wins, and we locals can celebrate Monday with a Gates short end.

    USA Today is forecasting what?

    USA Today Sports Staff Predictions:
    Jarrett, Nate Davis & Lorenzo Reyes – 49er’s
    Jori Epstein, Mike Jones, Mike Middlehurst-Schwartz & Tom Schad – Chiefs

    USA Today network Predictions:
    Mitch Albom, JimAyello, Erik Bacharach, Dave Birkett, Gene Frenette, Bob McManaman, Art Stapleton & Andy Vasquez. Sports writer from The Detroit Free Press to the Arizona Republic. All unanimously for the Chiefs.

    Now, I don’t give 2 shits what any sports writer predicts. It’s their job, not their talent. Just confused by your statement.

      Well, at the very least, it’s well thought out in today’s USA Today…

      They break it down thusly:

      Passing edge when Chiefs have the ball: Chiefs
      Running edge when Chiefs run: 49ers
      Passing edge when 49ers have the ball: Chiefs
      Running edge when 49ers run: 49ers
      Special teams: Chiefs
      Coaching: 49ers
      Who will in: 49ers, 30-27
      Just sayin’

    … from Nancy’s folly nee inspiration to her “boring hodgepodge of “California treats” like (yawn) See’s Candies, pistachios and walnuts.”

    – even a case of Raymond Burr Vineyards finest (‘Perry Ma-son’ vintage ’58) could not save her case. Kerouac torn asunder – revile the clapper as most everything Norcal yet expect 49ers to beat the swiss chiefs – what’s a KC born and bred boy to do?

    CAPTION THAT PIC #2

    – that’s the ticket – good call and thanks! Mmm mmm good, mmm mmm good, that’s what Gates Bar-B-Q is mmm mmm goooood!

    Cleaver, that Captain Of Industry, should bet all of the profits he made off of his Car Wash against all of the money Pelosi made off of Insider Trading.

    Pelosi and Cleaver are so corrupt, I wouldn’t waste much time worrying about anyone, ANYONE actually collecting on any debts.
