US Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) Says He is Considering Congressional Run in Another State

Liberals just can’t leave politics …

US Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) stated that he is considering a Congressional run for office in another state. When it comes to Dennis Kucinich, one wonders where he might try another planet instead. Ohio lost two congressional seats in the reapportionment due to the 2010 U.S. Census.  The result is that this will reduce Ohio to 16 congressional seats and 18 electoral votes come 2012. Kucinich is said to be eying the Congressional seat in the  liberal state of Washington.

“If I don’t have anywhere I can run in Ohio, I have to start thinking about what my options are,” Kucinich in an interview with a television station in Lakewood, Ohio. “I prefer to continue serving the district I’ve served for as long as I have.  But that’s not my choice to make in terms of the map.”

Ohio is losing two congressional seats in the redistricting process, and Kucinich’s is likely on the chopping block. If that happens he could end up drawn into a district with Rep. Betty Sutton (D-Ohio) or find himself having to run against Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) if he wanted to continue representing the state.

It will be rather interesting to see whether Washington opens its arms to the far Left 8 term Congressman or whether carpetbagging is deemed unpopular. The pathetic aspect of this is that liberal politicians just cannot leave politics. The private sector where results are expected is just to much for them. They just can’t get it through their heads that being a US Rep is not a lifetime appointment.

US Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) Settles Frivolous Nuisance Lawsuit in Olive Pit Tragedy

US Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has settled his frivlous lawsuit against the Congressional cafeteria for the permanent damage, mental anguish and loss of consortium he suffered from biting into on olive pit in hos veggie wrap. UNBELIEVABLE. The details of the settlement are confidental. Of course they are … can you say nuisance law suit settlement. Kucinich stated, “I feel the defendants have responded fairly and reasonably.” Too bad we can’t say the same for the Congressman.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) said Friday that he’d settled his lawsuit against the congressional cafeteria for dental damage he sustained after biting into an olive pit.

Kucinich wrote on his website that he’d settled his suit, the terms of which were confidential, and sought to explain the situation leading him to sue for $150,000 earlier this week.

“Though I would prefer to focus your attention on my work dealing with the profoundly important issues that face our nation, such as job creation, getting the economy back on track, and ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq — it seems that some are more interested in discussing my personal dental issues,” Kucinich wrote.

Actually, when it comes to this loon, I would rather have him focus on his olive pit prosecution than pointing his two cents in any legitimate and important issue of the day. Why is this moonbat even in the People’s House? Ohio, you can do better.

Statement from Kucinich.

WHAT, who knew that Dennis Kucinich was one of the 10 to 30 million people in the United States not covered by health insurance? Does anyone really believe that a US Rep. does not get dental insurance, Really?

“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,” he wrote, explaining why he sought recompense.

Dennis Kucinich Sues Congressional Cafeteria for $150K for Olive Pit in Sandwich

Ever wonder why we have such a litigious society with far too many frivolous law suits … just ask Dennis Kucinich, it’s the pits.

US Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) is suing the Congressional cafeteria for $150,000 for selling him a vegetarian sandwich wrap in 2008 with an alleged olive pit in it. The Congressman claims that the olive pit caused dental damage. Unbelievable, the suit is claiming that the sandwich ”contained dangerous substances,” and biting into it caused serious “permanent dental and oral injuries requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures.” Good grief, Dennis Kucinich is also claiming  loss of enjoyment. Sorry, but doesn’t Congress have a dental health care plan, unlike the one that they want to force upon others with Obamacare.

No wonder people have such a poor image of Congress, when those who contribute to the ills of society like frivolous lawsuits are the politicians in charge, America we have a problem.

The law suit can be read HERE.

The lawsuit that the Cleveland Democrat filed Jan. 3 against operators and suppliers of the Longworth House Office Building cafeteria says the sandwich he bought there “on or about” April 17, 2008 “contained dangerous substances, namely an olive pit, that a consumer would not reasonably expect to find in the final product served.”

Biting into it caused serious “permanent dental and oral injuries requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures,” the legal documents say. They contend the congressman is entitled to damages for future dental and medical expenses and to compensate him for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment.

Exactly what was Dennis’ los of enjoyment? Permanent dental and oral injuries … from an olive pit? C’mon man!!!  How sad, a member of Congress looking to make a buck off a frivolous law suit. I guess it is safe to say that Dennis Kucinich will not be welcome at the Olive Garden any time soon.
