Harsh words for Senator Ben Nelson (D-Ne)

WORLD-HERALD BUREA

WASHINGTON — When Sen. Ben Nelson stopped for a bite at Dante Pizzeria Napoletana in west Omaha recently, the Nebraska Democrat apparently got a jumbo slice of public opinion.

The confrontation has made headlines in political blogs, and Politico reported that a woman yelled, “Get him the hell out of here!” and other customers started booing.

But a man who was present, who spoke on the condition that he not be named, gave The World-Herald a different account:

He said one woman let it be known that she didn't like the senator or his vote on health care because she thinks it will affect her retirement, and she wanted him to leave.
Advertising

He disputed that many diners were heckling Nelson.

“It was generally just the one person,” the witness said. “I think everybody had their own opinions, but it was only one person that let her feelings be known.”
