You seriously will not believe the parking job of a Washington D.C. Congresswoman.
There’s always the joke about women drivers but this woman takes the cake and apparently her ‘entitlement’ as a legislator leads her to believe she can park whatever way she wants.
From Roll Call:
Abandon all hope, ye who happen to park anywhere near geometrically challenged-motorist Eleanor Holmes Norton.A HOH tipster watched in horror Wednesday as the D.C. delegate, 77, awkwardly forced her way into a wide-open spot in the carefully controlled corridor of New Jersey Avenue Southeast sandwiched between the Longworth and Cannon House Office buildings.Our spy estimates the entire head-scratching episode lasted about half an hour, including the painful insertion process and her 20-minute jaunt into Cannon.Once done with her business, the tipster said Norton backed out of the space and rolled out onto the unsuspecting District streets.“She hit the car next to her and did not leave a note, though I couldn’t see any damage,” was our spy’s takeaway from the mid-day drama.Norton’s office disputes that anything untoward transpired.“After the Congresswoman parked her car, we assessed the cars on either side to see if there was any damage. We could not find any,” a Norton aide assured HOH. “But we left a note with a business card so the congresswoman could be contacted in case we missed any.”

Most of us have seen crazy videos of people trying to painfully park but they eventually make it into the parking space correctly.
