EXCLUSIVE: Eleanor Holmes Norton explains botched parking job
FoxDC ^

Posted on 03/27/2015 8:18:16 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

WASHINGTON - D.C.'s delegate to Congress is making news for her parking skills. Video published by Roll Call shows Eleanor Holmes Norton awkwardly trying to wedge her car between two cars parked in angled spaces near the Capitol earlier this week. You could say that didn't go well.

The video was shot Wednesday along New Jersey Avenue Southeast, between the Longworth and Cannon House Office buildings, according to Roll Call. Norton, 77, is seen trying to squeeze her silver, four-door sedan in between two other cars that are parked in angled spots. The only problem? Norton is trying to park straight.

In a story about what they're calling the "worst parking job ever," Roll Call reports they got the video from a tipster. Posted on their YouTube channel, it offers running commentary by the mystery guys behind the camera, who clearly can't believe what they're seeing out the window.

According to the video's narrators, Norton hit the red SUV on the right "repeatedly."

"If she parks like that, she should not be a member of Congress anymore," one of them says on the video.

Apologies, Jack, yours is a 7 year old post, so no surprise accounts may be gone, I clicked through from this 2022 post, though I was still in that post:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4030738/posts

... which is basically the same thing in 2022 with her at age 84, still incompetent even for Congress.

Apologies to you, not to her, she should not be in public office elected or appointed.

More so because Washington DC should never have been given ANY national voice, if you do not want to live in the US Capital city with no federal vote, then DON’T. It is part of checks and balances. There should not be even one congress person from there.
