Suit pits Kucinich, cafeteria over olive

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- A lawsuit filed in the District of Columbia Superior Court pits Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, against a Capitol complex cafeteria operator over an olive pit.
Kucinich is suing Restaurant Associates, which operates the Longworth House Office Building cafeteria, its parent company and two food suppliers over an olive pit he bit into that resulted in "serious and permanent dental and oral injuries," USA Today reported.
Court do ents indicate the Ohio liberal seeks $150,000 in damages.
USA Today said when it called the Cleveland law office for Andrew Young, Kucinich's attorney, the person who answered said, "No comment."
In his suit, Kucinich alleges the defendants served him food "that was unwholesome and unfit for human consumption" because it "contained dangerous substances."
Kucinich bought a wrap containing the olive pit in April 2008. He said the cafeteria claimed the sandwich had pitted olives, Courthouse News Service said. After biting the pit, the lawsuit said, the congressman sustained injuries "requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures, and has sustained other damages as well, including significant pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment."

Do you have the details of the "Cadillac" plan?
Sounds like he bit off more than he could chew.
This kind of lawsuit leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I find this story hard to swallow.
He should just bite his tongue and move on.
Why make a molar out of an ant hill?
He can't handle the tooth!!
Why not complain to the pit boss?
So is it too late to extend the olive branch?
I wonder what would Mr. T say?
That's why he's sueing for so much. He finds it hard to swallow !
That's what she said.................
How come you (ALWAYS) choose to be the asshole out to muck up the club with petty, political bull that doesn't serve any functional purpose?
The 4 page political forum thread that you KNOW exists isn't big enough for your piddling bellyaching?
+1
Wrong forum, already a thread on it, and the le is childish.
A trifecta of crap.
I can't believe no one already said this on.
"well this is the pits!"
I hear that he is eligible for a $4500.00 rebate under the Obama “Cash for Chunkers” program…
