We all know what a fighter our fellow Kossite, Congressman John Conyers is. Unfortunately the freepers and Fox News might have a field day with this one. Monica Conyers, herself soon to take office as a councilwoman in Detroit next month, allegedly bitch-slapped another woman in a Detroit bar a few evenings ago after the woman allegedly shoved her. Witnesses are being quoted as saying that Ms. Conyers was asking a gentleman to buy the lady a drink and the other woman took exception.
I'll post two links to news stories now and excerpt below.

Monica Conyers -- who is married to Rep. John Conyers Jr., D-Mich., and who will take a seat on the Detroit City Council next month -- got into a fight with another woman at a bar, police sources told the Free Press on Thursday.
The councilwoman-elect's spokesman, Sam Riddle, confirmed the confrontation but claimed Monica Conyers was randomly attacked by a drunken woman at a party and was forced to defend herself.
Conyers, 41, who was elected to the City Council in November, filed a police report on Wednesday, accusing the other woman -- identified by police as Rebecca Mews of Walled Lake -- of attacking her early Tuesday morning at Crossroads Lounge on Livernois in Detroit.
The spokesman said Rebecca Mews became upset Tuesday during a birthday celebration for an attorney, who Mews says was her date. While Conyers was speaking with the man, Mews "came over and literally started spewing obscene names," and shoved Conyers, said Conyers' chief of staff, Sam Riddle.
"This woman was obviously drunk, and the councilwoman vigorously defended herself," he said.
Mews, who appeared on WDIV-TV on Thursday with a black eye, denied she was intoxicated. Mews said that when Conyers began speaking to her date with her back to her, she tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Pardon me."
"She turned around and began yelling at me," Mews said. "When I began yelling back at her, she punches me in my left eye several times," Mews said. "I never struck her. Never once did I hit her."
Let's hope this doesn't come to affect the Congressman's efforts to get to the bottom of the Bush Administration crimes.....the good news is that apparently the Conyers' family takes guff from no one....
