Yesterday, D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton was caught in what many are calling the Worst Parking Job Ever.
Of course, she’s not the first D.C. politician to be called out for their terrible parking. In fact, many Councilmembers frequently abuse their Council parking tag privileges so egregiously that Washington City Paper’s Loose Lips went so far as to set up an Instragram account to document all of them. And so, that begs the question: was Norton’s parking job the Worst of All Time (at least for D.C. politicians)? Well, we ranked them. You’re welcome.
10. David Grosso
Parking in a No Parking zone, egregious? Sure, but not blocking any entrances, so far as the picture shows.
9. Mayor Muriel Bowser (back when she was a Councilmember)
Sure, she’s parked in a No Parking Zone, but it’s not blocking anything (except an entrance) and it was during a mayoral debate.
8. Jim Graham
Lame duck Jim Graham just doesn’t give a shit anymore.
7. Yvette Alexander
Hope that wasn’t a snow emergency route.
6. Jack Evans
C’mon, Jack, that’s almost blocking the sidewalk!
5. Jim Graham (again)
Shame on you for blocking a bike lane!
4. Jim Graham (yet again!)
This looks like a dangerous place to park. Also, maybe blocking a bus lane?
3. Yvette Alexander (again)
This isn’t a state fair! Park on the actual street, at least!
2. Eleanor Holmes Norton
Yeah, this is pretty damn bad.
1. Jack Evans (again)
This is a fire hazard. A FIRE HAZARD.
