A Pizza Hut spokesman has confirmed that the company's offer to help cater the wedding of First (Twin) Daughter Jenna Bush this weekend in Texas is sincere.

"It's the real deal. The letter was sent from our president (Scott Bergren) to the president this week," said Pizza Hut spokesman Chris Fuller.

The letter, dated May 5, 2008, circulated widely on the Internet Thursday, where it was picked up on the snarky political website Wonkette. The offer on Pizza Hut letterhead is signed by Bergren, congratulates President Bush on the marriage of his daughter and offers to provide the pizza chain's "Pizza Mia™ to hungry guests." The letter also makes clear that the company would provide it "with any of Jenna's favorite toppings."

If taken up, Fuller said, the offer would be a public relations coup for the Dallas-based company up the road from the Bush family's ranch outside Crawford, Texas. It would also associate with the first White House wedding in a generation a yellow-based greasy cuisine usually associated with family meals and college dorm binges.

"It has not yet been accepted," Fuller said.

He added that the offer was not to cater the wedding itself, which is Saturday, ("I'm sure that's been taken care of," Fuller said.) but to give guests a free slice of pizza on their way home.

"People have been throwing back all night, two-stepping, whatever they do. We want to give them pizza on the way out," Fuller explained.

Fuller, who is married, did not serve food (or alcohol) at his Texas wedding because - as is customary in parts of the Lone Star state - there was no formal reception, he said.
