Kucinich Suing Congressional Cafeteria for Unsavory Olive

In America there is no longer any such thing as an accident. Anything bad that happens has to be someone’s fault.

So Liberals are greedy scumbags too.

This is so stupid.With all the money this fat cat has, a dentist can fix any thing these days and it isn’t like this fat cat doesn’t HAVE enough to do for this country with it in the shape it’s in! Give me a break! If I were the judge I would laugh his but out of court WHAT A JERK!

Years ago there was a similar case involving an unpitted olive / cracked tooth.
The plaintiff lost the case because the courts said the pit is natural to the olive and the company had implimented all the correct pitting processes.
Doesn’t Kucinich have anything better to do than sue vendor(s) over a freakin’ cracked tooth? It isnt have if he isnt being overcompensated with privileges and perks and lifetime benefits for doing much of anything.
Now I’m wondering if taxpayers will pick up the additional tab for his on-the-job injury.

THIS IS WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH THIS NATION AND WHY NOTHING GETS DONE IN WASHINGTON. IT’S STUPID JERKS LIKE THIS THATS RUNNING THINGS.

Guess someone needs to point out to the cafeteria, that pitted olives are readily available.

It sounds like Rep. Dennis Kucinich needs his food pureed! Considering the age of many Representatives and Senators this sound like a good idea!

This story only confirms my belief both sides of the political aisle are asinine pieces of garbage.

What a baby……..I am embarrassed by him as this goes out on national news. He’s just such a “wonderful” example to us all. My husband lost his tooth from biting too hard on a pretzel. Didn’t realize that he could sue the pretzel company. We went and paid a dentist……..well, at least we can live with ourselves.

It is a good thing that he has government provided dental coverage to pay for the damage created during his lunch at the government provided cafeteria! This is the definition of chutzpah!!

Kucinich and his trial lawyer play the liberal lottery. A Law Suit over lack of enjoyment.

Everybody else does it why not him but he probably broke a tooth and someone should pay for the damage done and not him.

The Dems are so used to biting hard on everything we have, Kucinich is trying to bite the hand that feeds him!

what a jerk. hope his constituents remember this at election time.

all I know is I was hit headon by a woman and broke my tooth off so that I had to have the tooth surgically removed and then the tooth next to it partially disentagrated and I had no transportation for my livelihood, the only transportation my husband and I have, lost $300 worth of groceries for a catering job the next day, was taken by ambulance to the hospital because I kept passing out sitting up, broke my glasses, broke my cell phone, black and blue from the neck down, oh yes and this was one week after I had had surgery. All I could get was 3000 for the tooth which wasn’t enough and I still have half a tooth giving me problems along with an empty space since I didn’t have enough to get a bridge or implant….and this fool wants 150,000 for an olive pit… Get real…if our wonderful congressional leaders had to pay social security, their insurance and have Obamacare instead of you and I paying high dollar for their medical bills along with every illegal person that walks also they get their paychecks for life, what a retirement plan, and they get to vote their own raises and take away from the elderly’s social security…get rid of ALL of them….they are destroying our country…….

This twit is what’s wrong with america today. No personal responsibility. He should be glad that I am not an Ohio voter.

What an @$$! I’m willing to bet that he didn’t even buy the sandwhich it was probably some lobbyest bucking for a favor. Second don’t those guys have the best health insurance ( including dental) in the marketplace? If he does win he should give the proceeds back to the Tax Payers!

This is the only time you ever hear about the congressman from Ohio because they want to slander his name. They do the same thing to Bono. Dennis is the one who should be US President, not that wanna be republican.
The dems and repubs wanted to remove dennis from office so the dems ran someone against him and dumped in all kinds of $$ to that race. The people of his district swamped the polls and reelected dennis by an enormous landslide margin. So now that Obama has marched with the right wing and the progressives stayed home from the 2010 race and let the repubs win congress, the reeps will now re-district dennis out of office. And all you’ll hear about it is this stupid story for you stupid people.

Idiots like Kucinich are the reason medical costs are so high. Typical two faced politician, “don’t do as I do, do as I say” Vote him out of office Ohio.

Maybe he should learn how to eat like a human being instead of a starving hyena. Who bites into a ‘wrap’ so hard that they could break a tooth and get gum damage and need surgery?

THIS IS THE PITS (intended)! WHAT A LOOSER. This is all that we have left for an economy in the USA – everyone become lawyers and sue everybody!

You know what Dennis, its called “life”. Sometimes crap happens and it does not mean someone is responsible for it and should give you money. Take your top-rate Congressional health plan, go see a dentist, and move on.

he expects perfection from an eatery and its vendors? nothing is perfect and certainly neither is he or congress. who orders olives in sandwiches as it’s common for a pit to be found. what a nimrod.

Unless you have had this happen to you, you have no idea of the pain involved in something like this! When it happened to me, I not only cracked ONE tooth but TWO, one on each side of my mouth! I also ended up with TMJ (displaced jaw) which causes me intense pain from time to time even after 15 years. Also the two teeth had to be capped which was NOT a pleasant experience and the color never matched the rest of my teeth. Now I have to have some extensive dental work done which is going to involve replacing the caps. If I had the chance to sue, I definitely would have and for a lot more than $150,000…Go Dennis!!!!!

I have a suggestion for the congressman,,,,,,,,,,,, BUTCH UP!!! I bit into a piece of pizza and had a woodchip cut through my dental work and had alot of complications then six years later same company bit into a piece with an olive pit in it. I went to the company and let them know what happened and they took proper steps to correct the problems.
Now, I’m a steel worker who has been laid of for almost two years.If I can understand that stupid lawsuits like these are clogging up our courts then I say BUTCH UP and let the company pay the fair price for your dental problem and move on.

Disbar the lawyer, impeach the politician.
This is why we have to have tort reform.
Isn’t this the guy that made the sweetheart deal with Reid and Pelosi on the Health care scandal?

Pres O should go ahead and write him check. That might save us some money! PS – i have a cracked tooth also. Do you think you (my fellow taxpayers) would get together and pay for the repairs . . . Oh and could you pay me for pain and suffering, oh and loss of enjoyment and you could buy me a great dental plan, pay me this whole time that i am eating and complaining and suing you, i’d hope you would pay for all the ‘awful and otherwise’ food I eat. But seriously folks, haven’t we spoiled these guys way too much!! This type of representation is soooo SAD!

Eventually you will find out that Kucinich & Paul are fighting for the people PERIOD !! Look at there voting records !! Google illuminati and find out what is happening in the world that you are blind & ignorant to !!

Been in office too long. Not familiar with local food establishments. I’ll bet he didn’t pay very much for this meal either.

Can you say looney tunew

Let me guess,,since he was employed by the US Government at the time, and will probably claim thats since it WAS on their time,his lawyers should be paid for by the taxpayers….what a scumbag

This representative does not like his case to be in the press? NEWS to you, you live a public life! Everything you do is scrutinized by the Press and the Public. Just because you are trying to make an extra 150,000 on one olive doesn’t mean you are entitled to secrecy. Olive companies beware. By the way it’s spelled Vendors, not venders, idiot.

Who eats whole olives in a sandwich(wrap) anyway? For $150k a dentist could rebuild his whole mouth. Taxpayers take care of his coverage so why sue and if he feels the need to sue then why not just for the damages to cover his costs if he even had any. Can’t believe his lawyer took almost 3 years to decide on a suit, wonder if he’s the one who is needing money.

Imagine not having anything to say from the Plaintiff in an ongoing lawsuit? And everyone has a chuckle chuckle.
Was that part of a script or collectively do they actually not know any better?
Meanwhile thanks for linking the actual complaint. It clearly states that the $150,000 is the TOTAL mount of the lawsuit against ALL FOUR defendants and not the amount of the suit against jsut the cafeteria as the media is purporting. You may disagree with the lawsuit itself, but at least be accurate and honest in your criticism.

ATTENTION: To all those who may be plaintiffs in a lawsuit. Don’t testify in court. Testify on ABC News. Especially if you normally always have “plenty to say”.

Seriously??? $150,000? Did the olive pit completely shatter his jaw and render all soft tissue unusable? I can’t legally marry my same sex partner, yet he is allowed to pull some assanign stunt like this? And why is it taking him 3 years? Has government work really deadened his nerve impulses that much?
