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."

Was it caused by a white devil? /sarc
Tough chick. Drinking in the bars in downtown Detroit isn't something I'd like to do.
Well, if Laura Bush cold-cocked hitlery I'd find it difficult to suppress a smile.
Just the headline is priceless!
Don't worry John. Some Democrat appointed corrupt judge will wash this whole thing over and get your wife off the hook, and before you know, you will be in the news calling for the Weekly Impeachment of GW Bush again.
It's all fun and games; until someone breaks the end off a bottle...
