A video of D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton has gone viral this week of what is being deemed the worse parking job in recent memory. The video shows the non-voting member of the United States House of Representatives taking a rather novel view of the diagonal parking lines of the spot on Capitol Hill.
What appears to be a young intern or aide tries unsuccessfully to guide Norton into the spot. She then returns in what looks like it might be reattempted but she then leaves the car.
Notably, this week Norton is pushing the Secret Service for better training of employees and has argued that these government employees “do not receive the necessary training to prepare them for current and new missions, unacceptable incidents occur.”
What is clear is that the delegate is far better at politics than spatial problems.
Her parents gave her the first name after Eleanor Roosevelt. The second name from Oliver Wendell Holmes (Three generations of idiots are enough) and the last name came from Norton, the guy in that tv sitcom years ago.
So she became an Democrat idiot Norty.
Where is the National Park Service when you need them?

She obviously has mental deficits or she would not be in government.
No truer words were ever spoken 😉
Lol @ people with power and status. And all those labeled criminals and extremists… the poor… Now they are backwards.
I know. One is not supposed to use the word “retard” anymore. But it is kind of like dumb smoker or tattoo twit. If you put two words together here they are acceptable. Retardtoo. Or perhaps: RetardTwo.
Went in dumb, come out dumb too. Hustlin round Atlanta in their alligator shoes…. etc.
I just got the video to work. I did not see it earlier. What is up with the dumb schmuck who is walking around the car and then walks off with her? Why did he not fix the problem and re-park the car? Is he a retard too?
Max–I like it.
SOLUTION:
Term limits…
That is the funniest thing I have seen this week, except for David Suchet’s acting as Hurcule Poirot.
Reagan did repeatedly tell a tail gunner story, but not about himself; it was felt to be a conflation of a true event and a movie.
“Reagan, commenting to Chancellor Kohl about when he was a tail gunner in a B-29 during WW2”
Isaac, you sure about that?
“Reagan …caused the greatest recession since the 30’s”
Geez, and all this time I thought Reagan was not only out of office, but really most sincerely dead by 2009.
Isaac, We get it. Dems are smart, caring and work hard. Rep. are stupid, heartless, and lazy. You can be a real Yawner, dude. As predictable as the sunset. 7:28p in Cali today, BTW. I saw a green flash a couple times this year. I thought it was a myth although science told me it was not. I now believe, having seen it. I lived in Mizzou for 7 years.
