Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) is reportedly suing the contractors who run the Longworth House Office Building cafeteria for $150,000 after he allegedly bit into an olive pit while eating a sandwich wrap nearly three years ago.

And this guy was a candidate for president?? This just makes me worry about our countries future if these are the kind of people we elect to represent us

I just picture him biting into it, and then not reacting for 3 years.

*CRACK* chew chew chew

".... AH SHIT!!"

Haaah just saw it on the inter webs. How many orthodontics procedures do you have to do before you rack up 150G...

Actually, worth talking about. Our elected leaders should be above this petty suing for stuff like this crap. Come on...$150,000 for this? Unless there is more to the story (i.e. he nearly died because of it or something), he need to have the olive and sandwich shoved up his butt...and his attorney too.

I know a girl who bit into a dunkin donuts donut and it had a ball bearing in it. Cracked her tooth. Unfortunately for dunkin donuts she just graduated harvard law the year before and was a jr partner of a large law firm in Manhattan.

She had damages and didn't wait 3 years I'll bet.

150,000 is just stupid.

He's got expenses.

did a lawyer do something terrible to you?

I cracked a molar while munching wintergreen Life Savers in a darkened room, under the direction of a Southern CT State U. Life Sciences professor.

I did file a claim... I suppose I shoulda retained an attorney. I coulda got so much more out of the affair than a repaired tooth, but then again my folks never raised me to be an opportunistic douchebag.

Maybe I oughta sue my folks.

(In case anyone's curious: Yes, Wintergreen Life Savers can produce what's known as Triboluminescence when suddenly smashed.)

He is a "progressive". Its always someone elses fault.

 

[Double Trouble]

As someone living in Ohio who's seen Kucinich up close for years, I can assure you that he's a complete loony toon. He's not just one of those guys who sometimes goes against the grain or is eccentric, he's a complete nutjob. His district has a LOT of uneducated stupid people in it (just outside Cleveland), and a lot of people in his district have a special affection for him as their own village idiot, as in "yeah, he's an idiot, but he's our idiot".

95% of what is said here about liberals is wrong or lies, I can't remember the other 5%.

But Patranus might well be 100%.

95% of what Craig says is a variation on this stupid post. The other 5% is also pointless

damn she born 1977 and he 1946...

PS, the 5% you don't remember is the 100% of arguments you run away from after your flimsy, pseudo-intellectual arguments fall apart.

Interestingly enough, that 5% accounts for almost 90% of situations in reality... but that's progressive math.

Dang-I'm eight years younger than him and have a kid about her age.

So are people just outright stupid here or do you not understand how lawsuits work?

Stupid trial lawyer cock sucking liberals ruining America one lawsuit at a time.

Production manager of that factory must've gotten fucked.

Jesus, don't members of Congress essentially get free, taxpayer funded, dental?

How could this guy not anticpate the backlash from this, or does he know he's not going to hold office after this term and is looking for a way to pad his pockets with further taxpayer money?


Problem with our country is that its run by politicians.

Dennis Kucinich is a moron, almost a parody of what a loony-liberal hippy who lives in the fantasy world. He's sort of like a liberal Michelle Bachmann (he's less hateful than her, but probably even less intelligent.)

No one is less intelligent then Michelle Bachmann. Well, except for people who vote for her I guess.
