Rep. Conyers' Wife in Bar Fight
The wife of Democratic U.S. Rep. John Conyers has been accused of punching a woman in the eye during a bar fight.
A spokesman for Monica Conyers, a city councilwoman-elect, confirmed Friday that she was involved in an altercation. But he said Conyers merely defended herself after being attacked by another woman.
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."

They're all excited about a Dem going on the attack. But isn't it very likely that the victim was also a Democrat?
And what would the DUers be saying if the wife of a Republican congressman punched out a black woman?
She obviously was hitting on him! Tramp!
Wow .. Conyers wife really clocked her one
Bet she was moving her head back and forth in that Eygptian sort of head/neck dance, hands on hips and shouting "What you say?" before she popped the other one.
What a bunch of paranoid freaks! I sorta think Ms. Mews is not a Republican.... just a jealous date getting all up in Monica's business.

Give them both a Saturday Night Special and make them stand 40 paces apart. Stop the dice game and bet on this!
This would never happen in a laundromat.....ROFL!!!
Conyers is married to the former Monica Esters.
John Conyers got into hot water a couple years ago, allegedly for using his congressional staff resources on some campaigns, including his wife's (Monica Conyers) then-unsuccessful campaign for a state senate seat.
Even staffers didn't know when the husband and father of two sons married former aide Monica Ann Esters in 1990.
In 1958, Conyers began his work in politics as an aide to Congressman John Dingell, whom he served until 1961.
Blackcat Fight!
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
Meanwhile the City teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, the schools are a mess and virtually every City Dept. is dysfunctional, overseen by thugs.
I'd bet cash money this isn't the first time Ms. Conyers has taken a swing at somebody.
You go grrrl! LOL!
