Thought her horrendous parking job caught on video would be the end of the saga? Not even close.
Via Roll Call:
Negotiating tight spots, a source maintains, isn’t the only thing Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton has trouble with when she’s behind the wheel.
Perusing the now-viral video HOH posted of the 13-term lawmaker struggling to negotiate an angled Capitol Hill parking spot jarred the memory of a tipster who recalled a more appalling run-in that happened nearly a decade earlier.
Per our source, a seemingly average winter day in 2006 took a turn for the worse once Norton showed up on the scene.
“I was standing on the corner waiting to cross the street of 12th and G St. NW in DC when a car pulled up and parked right in front of me,” the tipster recounted via email.
“The car didn’t just block me from crossing, it completely blocked the handicap ramp,” the stunned observer said of the brazen motorist who nonchalantly mounted the curb that February morning.
No longer able to continue along his intended path, the tipster stayed put until the driver emerged from the shoddily stationed vehicle.
“I recognized the person as soon as she came out and started to walk across the street,” the onlooker stated. He was rather shocked when Norton popped out and hustled across the way.
She’s gonna need a whole lot more than the parking lessons she claimed she’s signed up for.
