#ParkingFail: Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton may need to work on her parking skills.

Norton, 77, was seen exiting her vehicle Wednesday morning, which was parked awkwardly in an angled parking spot on Capitol Hill. Norton, a 12-term Democrat representing Washington, D.C., in Congress, pulled straight in to the spot, coming very close to each vehicle.

Some congressional staffers who witnessed the parking fail Wednesday morning laughed at the display.

In the video, Norton appears to rub up against each vehicle. A visual inspection hours later showed that neither vehicle parked on either side of Norton appeared to sustain any body damage.

Sources say Norton left her car in the spot for about 30 minutes before returning to move it, leaving a business card on the windshield of the Nissan Extera.

"The Congresswoman heard from the owner of the only car she was close enough to damage. The owner reported no damage," a spokesperson for Norton said.

Parking as a partisan issue....it had to come to this eventually.

Having said that though, blind drivers could probably do a better job. :roll:

Still funny though.

I thought it was humorous how buddy checked to ensure there was "space" and the car beside had backed in so it was a perfect place to pull straight in if ya wanna be a d*ck and you're in a hurry

one of my neighbours does the opposite in his spot, he parks as if it is angled parking but it isn't...no amount of complaining has caused him to alter "the angle" and technically he is still within his lines...

Put this in the American politics forum. "Hot Topic". What a joke.
