Beware the Veggie Sammich! Open Thread
Dennis Kucinich lost a tooth today while eating a vegetable sandwich and although he gets 100% free dental care courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer, he's decided to sue for $150,000 over it.

You read correct, it happened almost 3 years ago, but he just filed the lawsuit this year:
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-kucinich-lawsuit-20110127,0,5062455.story?track=rss
According to Fox News, (They're talking about it this morning) the same day he busted his tooth, he later went on Neil Cavuto's show - so how bad could it have been?
I have a cap on one of my molars. One day last summer, it disintegrated while I ate some corn chips. I have no dental coverage and now the stump of a half tooth is completely infected and has been for months. I need surgery to fix it but I can't get it. Am I suing frito-lay? No. I deal with it. (Lots of anbesol, and I pack it with tea bags when it gets really bad to calm the infection.)
Kucinich HAS FREE DENTAL that WE pay for! This lawsuit isn't to cover a 'need', it's to cover his GREED.
If I ran a food establishment, he'd be blacklisted from getting anything due to his frivolous lawsuit.
He should have had a Manwich instead!
I just heard that NYC got record snowfall ! Is Al Goracle in town ?
I am truly sorry to hear of your dental issue; I`ve been more than there ! From first hand experience I must say, get that treated asap for your future health`s sake ! FIND A WAY !! (Okay, I`m done fussin`)
This whole Kucinich deal is as you say about greed; and a dash of self importance ! With his Cadillac Taxpayer-Funded Comprehensive Health Care plan, there is NO EXCUSE for not being in good shape at this point ! If he can`t smile, eat and otherwise enjoy life, it certainly is no fault of any cafeteria !
Try JESUS, jerk !!
Oooh, that didn`t sound right ! Try this.....
Know JOY, (and by extension, ENJOYMENT), try JESUS !!
Ha ha ha!
You could likely find as many volunteers to help him with that as were available to help Alec Baldwin pack to leave the country after GWB was elected !
That may be outside Moonchelle`s "volunteerism box" !
There`s an update story at The Blaze that gives more details. It seems Dennis Kusammich suffered 6 "injured" teeth, 3 failed surgeries, etc. and had to pay for his "Mis"(?)Treatment out of pocket. His inshoranse didn`t cover it !
Now the British owned cafeteria has settled with him out of court for an undisclosed amount of money .
Kusammichgate indeed !
I saw that he'd settled, but didn't know the full extent of the 'injury'. I'd venture a guess that for all of that damage to have happened, his teef were probably pretty jacked up in the first place. I have bad teeth but I know from back when I had dental care, that healthy teeth can actually hold up to a lot of abuse. Good teeth would not have all busted up like that, I think, not just from one bite of a poorly made sammich.
Are you frickin' kidding me? What an a$$ I guess he finally realized his wife isn't with him for his looks... she wants money honey.
He's married? Wow.
Thanks, Whoopie!
Hey this a pretty snazzy site. I'm gonna bookmark it. Now I'm off to see what else you got here. Some of the titles look enticing.
You wont regret it !
Mare - he's married to an absolute knock-out (who towers over him) Really!
Google "Kucinich wife"in images and be ready to be shocked.
Holy mackerel!
Thanks, SPG! :)
I am so glad Burger Doodle doen`t put un-pitted olives on their super-mega cheese whoppers ! I`ve sent two dentists to the Bahamas on my dimes already !
I read somewhere else this actually happened back in 2008. He's just now getting around to suing about it?
Sometimes, I JUST can`t HELP MYself !!
I heard this story on the radio today but missed the name, naturally I thought it occurred yesterday.....It seemed odd to me (lacking the devious gene) that someone could calculate "a lifetime of pain and suffering" so quickly ! It`s making more sense to me now ! Perhaps he`s seeking far more than he actually anticipates being awarded in court !
Did I just defend the man, eeeew, that left a bad taste in my mouth ! I need mouthwash !
