Kucinich Sues Over Olive, Report Says

A bizarre report on Gawker.com says that U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich has sued a congressional cafeteria after cracking a tooth on an olive that was not pitted.

The report suggests that Kucinich recently filed the complaint, nearly three years after the incident involving a "sandwich wrap" purchased from the Longworth House Office Building cafeteria.

The "dangerous" sandwich allegedly contained the olive in question.

The congressman, in his complaint, claims that he "sustained serious and permanent dental and oral injuries requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures ... (as well as) significant pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment."

Kucinich, claiming negligence and breach of implied warranty, is suing four companies that run and supply the cafeteria for $150,000.

Kucinich's attorney Andrew Young tolds Fox 8 News on Wednesday afternoon that the lawsuit was a private legal matter and he would not be providing comment.
