Dennis Kucinich and wife
The Longworth House Office Building cafeteria during the lunch rush.
Why one should make their own sandwiches.
The misses is 5'6" right?
Out of pocket costs my foot. Taxpayers pay for everything for these people.
That pic of him and his wife makes him look like a little boy.
Why is it that all the short men seem to desire power positions: Kucinich, Hitler, Napoleon, Rahm Emmanuel. lol
He must be hung like a bear.
$150,000 for breaking a tooth?????
So, how much did the Garden Gnome shake ‘em down for ?
1.he is much shorter than her
2.he is goofy looking; she is a beautiful, lithe, redheaded bombshell
3.he is a lot older than her (31 year age difference. she’s 29, he’s 60)
4.she is feminine. he is… feminine
5.he has unicorn and rainbow politics
In the military, the LAST people in the world you want to piss off are the guys making your food.
He really does look like a Tolkien character. LoL
You know, an olive pit shouldn’t break a regular tooth with normal chewing. Chances are the tooth had a crack or weak spot in it already. Not the sandwich’s fault, I’d venture.
Or, he can lick his own eyebrows.
But I’m guessing there’s some sort of prehensile tail here.
“People who see us together understand – they see our connection. And it’s not like I’m some ditsy young thing and he’s an old fogey. He has the wisdom of an ancient and the energy of youth. Dennis says to me, ‘I’ve never seen myself as time-bound. When you make a connection on a soul level, age is not important.’
quotes from his wife, Elizabeth
Garden Gnome?
I was thinking more like Hood Ornament.
In that pic, he looks like Mr. Spock with AIDS.
We'll check back with you when you are changing his Depends.
Last night on Fox, it was pointed out that Kucinich appeared on Neil Cavuto’s show the same day or night that the pit sitch happened.
House aides dish on unhappy meals
“The House has a new workplace morale issue on its plate: lunch.
Staffers are so unhappy with the “value meal” offerings at House cafeterias that lawmakers spent much of a hearing last week grilling the House’s chief administrative officer about them.
The value meals — five bucks and change for a meal and a drink — are supposed to appeal to lower-paid Hill staffers who can’t afford to pop for more expensive lunches, such as sandwiches that go for nearly $8 a la carte. But staffers complain that there’s not enough variety in the value meals — and that the quality is less than they’d get at the same price from a fast-food chain.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee’s Legislative Branch Subcommittee, called the situation “obnoxious” during a budget hearing last week.
“The way the value meals have been instituted is one meal per day for the whole cafeteria. There are about 10 or 11 [food] stations but only one affordable option,” she said.
Restaurant Associates, the private company that has run the House cafeterias since 2007, did not respond to requests for comment. But it has a seven-year contract, according to Dan Beard, House chief administrative officer, and that has some lawmakers talking about bringing in some competition.
“Our staff are dedicated employees and they can’t afford to eat every day downstairs,” Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) told Beard during the hearing. “We should probably have at least one vendor like a Subway. Five-dollar footlong, five-dollar footlong — whatever.”
Complaints about cafeteria food can have a high school ring — a point staffers acknowledge even as they make complaints about the cafeteria food.
“What they charge for the food in any of the House office buildings is obscene,” said one staffer, who has resorted to making a lunch of random side dishes at $1.25 apiece. “Whenever I go to Longworth with my friends, we say, ‘Look at the lines.’ ‘Look at the prices.’ It’s like the worst throwback to your old high school cafeteria.”
Another aide said some of the House Value Meals are better than others.
“Some of them are delicious; others are pretty gnarly,” the aide said. “If they served the gyro meal every day, I would absolutely eat it every day. If they keep serving French dip, I will boycott.”
“Essentially, you get what you’d expect,” House aide Ken Willis said. “That said, I do not recommend the French dip sandwich value meal in Longworth. Let’s just say it sits a little heavy.”
