Cheeky? Kucinich Sues for 'Oral Injuries' From Errant Olive Pit



Published January 26, 2011

It's the pits to break a tooth while eating. Just ask Rep. Dennis Kucinich (http://www.foxnews.com/topics/politics/dennis-kucinich.htm#r_src=ramp).

The Ohio Democratic representative is suing House cafeteria service providers for $150,000 for allegedly selling him a sandwich wrap with a stray olive pit in it.

Kucinich, who ran for president in 2008, said in a Jan. 3 lawsuit filed in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia that the pit caused "serious and permanent" damage to his mouth and wellbeing.

He said he is entitled to recover damages, "including but not limited to past and future dental and medical expenses, compensation for pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment and other damage."

An initial scheduling conference is set for April. The four respondents named in the case are all food service providers for Capitol Hill (http://www.foxnews.com/topics/politics/capitol-hill.htm#r_src=ramp). The offending sandwich was purchased at the Longworth House Office Building.

According to the lawsuit, a copy of which was obtained by courthousenews.com (http://www.courthousenews.com/2011/01/26/Kucinich.pdf), Kucinich is filing civil charges on two counts of negligence and two counts of breach of implied warranty.

The suit claims the sandwich wrap in question was purchased "on or about April 17, 2008."

The way I heard it, Denny was having a tumultuous relationship with Edna who worked at The House cafeteria
between the years '04 to '07

when Denny met his rangy, soon to be wife, Elizabeth.

Edna was livid about Denny dumping her and decided to cram a stray olive pit

into his sandwich.

Rendering Denny with one doozy of a toothache.

Proving Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned who handles your sandwich. :eek:

This guy's great anguish in life is his hurty teefs and needs a lottery prize on your nickel to fix it... and there are people here that think I'm just totally insane for thinking that they are insane for selling their lives to these soap opera acting class flunkees.

If anyone is curious, Kucinich settled out of court.

From the Washington Post.com:
______________________________

The lawsuit filed in early January in Washington had sought $150,000 in damages from companies involved with the Longworth House Office Building cafeteria. The lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount that reflected out-of-pocket costs, according to the parties involved.

The Ohio congressman said biting into the pit in April 2008 split a tooth down to the bone, caused excruciating pain and required reconfigured bridgework. The damaged tooth became infected, and he suffered a reaction to an antibiotic and an intestinal obstruction that required emergency medical attention, Kucinich said.



The initial dental implant to replace the split tooth failed and required a second attempt, he said. None of the dental expenses were covered by insurance, he said.

Kucinich, a liberal who made an unsuccessful bid for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, said he was satisfied with the legal outcome.

"I feel that the defendants have responded fairly and reasonably," he said in a statement. "I don't want to have to make another dental visit for a very long time."
