Rep. Kucinich and the 'Dangerous' Olive Pit

So says Gawker, the site reporting the congressman’s lawsuit against Restaurant Associates, the company that manages the Longworth Cafeteria on Capitol Hill, among other related companies. Kucinich allegedly charges that while eating a sandwich in 2008 that included an olive, he cracked his tooth.

We’ve put in a call to the congressman’s spokesman, Nathan White. Gawker reports that Kucinich’s press secretary isn’t talking.

> Update: A quick call to Kucinich’s attorney in Cleveland, Andrew Young, turned up basically nothing.
