Dennis Kucinich Sues House Cafeteria
Source: Courthouse News Service
WASHINGTON (CN) - Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich says he suffered permanent injuries from biting an olive pit hidden in the sandwich wrap he bought at a House of Representatives cafeteria. He demands $150,000.
The former presidential hopeful sued Restaurant Associates, which operates the cafeteria in the Longworth Office Building, its parent company, Compass Group USA, and food suppliers Performance Food Group Co. and Foodbuy LLC.
Kucinich seeks damages for negligence, in Superior Court.
Kucinich says the cafeteria claimed that the sandwich had pitted olives, but after he bit the pit he "sustained serious and permanent dental and oral injuries requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures, and has sustained other damages as well, including significant pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment."

3. Reasonable amount.
Were I him I would've brought the case after I'd left the public eye, however. Perhaps there's a statute of limitations on this kind of suit?

Smells like a class action lawsuit for anyone who had to listen to one of Kucinich's speechs.

That's the pits.
-
150K for a tooth? How is that a "reasonable" amount, you DUmbass?
-
Didn't the anointed one say something last night about limiting frivolous lawsuits? Perhaps he should start in his own party. Although maybe Kucinich belongs to the Alien Party.

E.T. will fix it.

8. Little Dennis Do-Nothing must be running short of cash...

perhaps his Limey Hippie Chick wants to go shopping.
Sometimes you get a pit in a can of pitted olives...guess the kitchen helper who checks all the olives was sick and stayed home that day.
You were completely covered Dennis...why cry wolf.
Surprised he didn't sue California where many of our olives are grown.
Lousy Freeper Troll! :lmao:
At the DUmp, the love is not flowing toward Dennis today.

If'n you're dumb enough to listen to him for more than 5 minutes without taking a sledgehammer to that RonPaulian squeak (notice how those two sound alike?), consider yourself a loser.
I mean, this from the guy who brought pie charts to a RADIO debate?

Of course you would have. You primitives/liberals love it when you get something for nothing.
150k for some dental repairs?! Wow. :o You mean the new HELLCARE law didn't cover it? :hyper: How about that eloborate health/dental plans those guys get?

This being the latest in his cradle robbing. Sounds like kama to me. Must have been a partial plate he broke, he is older than dirt.

Why isn't TSA screening congressional sandwiches? This tragedy could have been averted, but our government is controlled by Big Olive.

Prolly the reason he brought the suit! he wants to get in under the deadline which would more than likely limit him to $150 and expenses!
Isn't this one of the DUmmies Supreme Beings? Shouldn't they be praising this DipShit for screwin' the corporation? Oh wait, these guys are probably Small Business!
I'm curious, is KickAnItch a slip and fall lawyer in private life? Think he'll support Tort Reform?

Methinks slackmaster has grown disillusioned with liberal antics of late.

I suspect he got his upper plate tangled in the wifes tongue piercing and dragged his ass to the cafeteria to cover it up.
"Oh Dennith, you're tho thweet looking with thoth big ear'th, come here and thnuggle them between my titth"

Wonder who put him up to it.

I suppose a broken tooth could be rather rough on a clit.

Oooooooh! I usually get BSed for shit like that! But Ah'm sure "Toots" wouldn't like it if Ah had one! So I'll let ya go, this time!
ETA:
Ya know, it comes to me that this is exactly what DUmmies are! They want somethin' for nuthin'! Always! Doesn't matter the economy, the unemployment, who it harms, or the fact that the dollar is suckin' hind tit. All they care about is theirs!
Gimme, gimme, gimme! That's all they know. Sacrifice to these people is like Holy Water to Dracula!
This prick doesn't need the money, but if he can get it, it's owed him! Ya think maybe DUmmies, that's what's wrong with the federal budget?
No wonder they like this sawed off runt so much!

Hmmm so if my boss makes me work on a Saturday can I sue for loss of enjoyment?

I lost some daily enjoyment just by reading a post with Kiucinich in the title.
Can I sue the alien midget for this?

The congressman says he was injured by the sandwich on April 17, 2008.

If this doesn't REALLY push tort reform, nothing will.

{snip}
When I bit into the olive pit, (unbeknown to me at the time), upon impact the tooth split in half, vertically through the crown and the tooth, below the level of the bone. Externally there was no evidence of a break. This was not about aesthetics. The internal structure of the tooth was rendered nonrestorable.Although the pain was excruciating, I shook it off and I went right back to work.
This tooth is a key tooth which anchored my upper bridgework. The injured tooth and the bone above it became infected. I took a course of antibiotics for the infection, had an adverse reaction to the antibiotics which caused me to have an intestinal obstruction and emergency medical intervention.
Later, my dentist referred me to a specialist who informed me that the damaged tooth had to be removed. A third dentist removed the tooth and I was fitted for a temporary partial. I waited for the bone to heal. An implant was placed, but it failed. Many months later still a second implant succeeded. My bridgework had to be completely reconfigured, a new partial was designed, so this injury did not affect only one tooth, but rather involved six (6) replacement teeth as well. A new crown with a new precision attachment was engineered and put in place. To clarify, no dental expenses were covered by any health plan, nor did I have dental insurance that covered the injury, which, until it was resolved, affected my ability to chew food properly.

I have lost two implants in the last ten years. Never a plesant experience but good grief Dennis, man up.

Kucinich Settles Lawsuit Over Olive Pit in Sandwich

Thank God it's all over and we can sleep peacefully tonight :whatever:

Perhaps he was concerned that he would no longer be able to eat pine nut, dandelion, and berry salads with Grandfather Twilight (http://www.bhberger.com/deep_forest/interview.htm) and Gandhi to discuss which one would be his campaign manager. Or maybe they just wanted tips on how much money an old guy had to have to attract a young skank.

I figure a $150,000 in cash only gets them to look your way.
Charlie Sheen has the better idea....a briefcase of coke and a little cash....sex is way cheaper that way. All the sex I ever had cost the hell outta me, one way or the other.

The cost benefit analysis would probably be interesting but I am not sure I am up to undertaking it at this time.
