California congressman loses bet, sings 'Meet the Mets' on House floor

NEW YORK -- Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) had a friendly wager with Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) about the result of the National League Division Series between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Schiff paid up for the Dodgers’ Game 5 defeat on Friday on the House floor by singing “Meet the Mets.”

“I lost a bet with Congressman Israel, so now Steve, this song is for you,” Schiff said before beginning his off-tune crooning.

After completing the lyrics, Schiff lightheartedly added: “Mr. Speaker, please tell me my time has expired,” which drew a laugh from those on the House floor.
