Kucinich suing the House cafeteria

[Ziner]

No joke. $150,000 in damages over an olive pit. Apparently it was a suspicious sandwich wrap. Pretty sure I have never described my food as suspicious and still ate it.

It says he bought the suspicious sandwich wrap "on or about April 17, 2008," and eating it caused "permanent dental and oral injuries requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures."

Yet there are idiots that still elect this bozo. America is doomed.

Wild guess here, but I suspect that he won't be voting for tort reform.

Good thing health care got passed, I heard the congressional benefit system sucks, insurance companies are so pathetic it costs 150K to fix a tooth. Imagine what regular Americans would pay!!!

People love this guy over here in Lakewood. His office (one of his offices?) is right down the street from my work, and every year round Election time, every GD lawn has a Kucinich sign in it. Crazy. Dude is a loon.

The mentality is "Yes, he's a loon, but he's our loon." Never understood it.

Yep, same thing over here by me in the Old Brooklyn/Brooklyn Hts/SW Cleveland area. I can't figure it out for the life of me.

The key to Kucinich's continued re-election could be in his responsiveness to his constituents. He's my congressman, and I've occasionally written to him. Each time, I've received a very nice return correspondence dealing specifically with my stated concerns.

Before he started campaigning for U.S. President, I even voted for him a couple of times. I forgave how (as mayor) he forced Cleveland into default -- but I didn't realize that if he had his way he'd force the nation into default, too. Plus, when he's not suing over olive pits, he's seeing flying saucers or saying something really dumb on the cable news channels.

But there is no question that he does have his dyed-in-the-wool supporters.
