Unbelievable Video.

Call it the parking job seen 'round the web.

A video has gone viral of D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton executing an objectively poor parking job -- even by Washington standards.

The incident, and video, were first reported by Roll Call. A tipster was apparently on the scene and watched as Norton angled her car into a diagonal spot near Capitol Hill, ending up practically perpendicular to the surrounding vehicles.

The tipster told Roll Call this was around the time of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's address to Congress on Wednesday.

I think regular basic competence tests are in order for all our Washington critters.

how was the drive in the reddish colored vehicle..... supposed to get out of their parking spot?

This video?

Miss Frumpy Dumpy Doo also walks like she’s trying to be careful of gravity.

That’s not just bad driving/parking, it’s abject stupidity.

[GreyFriar]

I’d hate to see her trying to get to DiagonAlly.

[jazusamo]

LOL! I guess she figured that was their problem, don’t you know who she is? :-)

[DemforBush]

Holy cow! Was she drunk or something? I remember parallel parking in Driver’s Ed, but not parallelogram parking!

(Or would that be more of a rhombus?)

[jazusamo]

Thanks, should have linked it.

I like this You Tube comment by Elizabeth Giles:

“Parking is a social construct created by White Privilege™.”

[moehoward]

Best part is that it was a team effort.

We can make fun of her driving skill and general intelligence all we want but I think there is something bigger at play here. I think she drives like that because she is of the opinion that all laws, including traffic rules, don’t apply to her. She thinks that as a member of the ruling class, she is special, and all the rules she enforces on you “little people” don’t apply to her.

[Darksheare]

Welcome!

[MeshugeMikey]

shes the spiritual grandmother of that other Washington DOPE whose name exscapes me momentarily...

OH yes Mckinny... the congress animal that sluuged a house security guard

[SMARTY]

It was certainly illegal.

I saw that... where I live, a cop would have slapped a ticket on my window and had it towed away quick as a flash!

I wouldn’t have a car when I came back for it.

[molson209]

Who’s the Idiot with her , Boy Friend ? LOL

[jazusamo]

Doesn’t that beat all? One of her aides was right there and let let her do it.

[Mercat]

Who’s the dude?

[KarlInOhio]

Norton will not be be oppressed by WHITE lines.
