Cafeteria Worker Fired After GOP Congressman Got Grilled -- Not Toasted -- Sandwich

The Hill:

House Administration Committee Chairman Robert Brady (D-Pa.) is fuming after a cafeteria worker in the Capitol lost his job days after Rep. Mark Souder (R-Ind.) left the establishment in a huff because his sandwich was grilled, not toasted.

Kennison Battle, better known as "Mohammed," was fired this week following the Souder incident. However, it is unclear if Battle's termination and Souder's stormy exit last week are related.

Clearly power corrupts absolutely. Rice gets a shoe sales person fired and now another Reps loses his mind. We're all the same, forget it and the rest of the world will remember. Toasted vs grill-screw that fat pig. The restaurant should have said we reserve the right to refuse to service any of our customers we want. there's the door

To quote the article, "it is unclear if Battle's termination and Souder's stormy exit last week are related.". Why is this news? And why are posters here so willing to assume guilt without any evidence?

Please please please come to Atlanta to the place I play, I promise I'll take a shit in his food before I start playing, and I know the kitchen staff, they'll laugh their asses off.

Consequences. 351 days.

Only after eating the meal, trying to leave without paying and being con-fronted did he complain about the crust.

You know I was just having fun with this post and realized another story I heard on NPR this week.Of more than 2000 Iraqi's killed at check points on the road,less than 60 even had a possibility of being insurgents­.I know this and that aren't related,but somehow,to me,it is.

I'm sorry honey,how are we going to tell the kids there'll be no Christmas presents this year because Mr Souder got a grilled sandwich instead of a toasted sandwich.

Souder was probably pissed because the new rules
don't let Johnny K. Street buy him a three martini lunch anymore.

IS THIS FOR REAL?

This only means that we as americans have become simply little people. He got fired because of small mistake, well the just imagine what will happen if he served a compete different plat to the son of a bitch, he will be sent to the Guantánamo and get shot.

Typical fascist attitude of many members of congress. A house of corrupt people looking after themselves.
If you do not believe me go and see how many of them become millionaires after finishing their 'sentence'.

Next time he should go to Quiznos...­they always serve them toasty...

THE REAL STORY:

The White Fat Republican Pig didn't want to eat the sandwich because it was handmade by what he referred to as a "filthy NIGGER".

[MRb1000]

If I were this congressman it would be smart to never eat there again or he may get a surprise with a smile. I hope this guy gets the best lawyer around and get paid. I hope he lands enough to retire!!!!!!!!!

[HappyRabbit]

It's reasonable to assume someone nicknamed Mohammed's first language is not English and also reasonable to assume the subtle difference between grilled and toasted is a likely mistake. If Rep. Souder did lodge a complaint over this mistake and cause Mr. Battle's firing, he (Souder) must be the biggest pissant in the history of the Congress. HR

Sounds like a wrongful dismissal suit to me...

He wanted some damn Grey Poupon as well and didn't get it.
