Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
How much are Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s teeth worth? A cool $150K, perhaps.
That’s how much the Ohio Congressman is seeking in damages in a lawsuit against a Capitol Hill cafeteria where he suffered “permanent dental and oral injuries” and “loss of enjoyment” in 2008.
He bit into a sandwich wrap and unfortunately crunched into an olive pit, which was called a “dangerous substance” in the civil suit filed in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.
Leave it to Gawker, of course, to find video of Kucinich on the House floor just a few days after the olive pit incident.
It remains to be seen whether one tiny olive (dangerous substance? Really?) will overshadow Kucinich’s UFO sighting.
