Congressman, late for flight, parks SUV on airport curb
Published: November 4, 2009
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A North Carolina congressman dashing to catch a plane dumped his sport utility vehicle at the end of a row of properly parked cars at Charlotte's airport.
The Gaston Gazette reports today that Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry parked his Ford Explorer straddling a curb in a parking lot at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport on Sunday.
The front tires were on the curb. The back tires were in the driving area of the parking lot, one resting atop a yellow speed bump.
McHenry spokesman Brock McCleary said the congressman was running late and couldn't find a parking spot. He says McHenry made a mistake by not parking properly, and the car has been moved.
McHenry is serving his third term in the U.S. House.

This Patrick McHenry? I’m not sure why cretins continue to elect him.

I thought that was the correct way to park an SUV.
Must have thought he was at Washington National.
Another example of a politician unable to plan ahead. What an embarassment!
