Ex-Rep. Katherine Harris still parking car in House building
Roll Call's 'Heard on the Hill' column reports that former Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL) is still parking her car in a Congressional building.

Following up on the story of Harris handing out business cards at President Bush's recent State of the Union speech, Ben Pershing writes that "he still doesn't know quite what Harris has been up to since her highly enjoyable tenure in Congress ended, and he couldn't reach her for comment for this item. But at least he can report where her car is."

The article says 'Heard on the Hill' was tipped that "Harris still parks her $100,000 BMW convertible in the Cannon parking garage."

Pershing asserts that "he can confirm that the ex-lawmaker has indeed been parking it regularly since she lost her day job. The car was there Friday evening, in the same spot where she always parked when she actually worked in that building."

5. This needs to get some serious publicity legs
Katherine Harris should be parking her pompous fat aged butt in a Federal Prison. She aided and abetted and stole a Presidential election.

To even think that she gets taxpayer funded parking priveleges should tell us there is something seriously wrong with our Congressional oversight. And remember......at the moment the Democrats control that oversight.

15. Is she avoiding paying for parking elsewhere?
Is she getting a free perk that she doesn't deserve?

Katie, get out. You lost. No one likes you any more.

18. Here's a little tidbit from last fall....
The way Harris sees it, a vast left- and right-wing conspiracy, encompassing both the "liberal media" and the Republican "elite," is attempting to keep her out of the Senate. She says anyone could see the way the panel of questioners coddled Nelson at their debate last week. Her voice gets all high and mocking as she imitates them.

"Ooooh, Senator Nelson," she says. "I mean, come on."

She's STALKING Nelson!

20. Aren't Democrats in charge of these things now?
I would hardly think that "K. Harris" on a list of people entitled to park their cars in a publically-funded garage would escape their notice.

Hello, Nancy, get a grip!

28. Katie needs a new mule in her stall.
Every mention of Katherine Harris these days provokes uncontrollable laughter and derision.

We all know where her 'car is parked'.

'Nuff said.

29. Why hasn't she been kicked out yet?
Also, isn't it illegal to lobby people on the House floor? Would handing out your business card qualify as that?

31. Somebody should wake Harris up and tell her she lost
As far as her parking in a House garage, that's a no-no. She's no longer a Member of Congress, and her parking privileges should've been revoked her last day in office.

I believe the responsibility of issuing and revoking House parking permits resides with the U.S. Capitol Police. They need to pull hers.

33. Wasn't Cynthia McKinney stopped trying to enter Congressional offices?
when she still had a seat and an office? Then why is Harris still using the garage w/o being stopped?

39. Harris should be parking that Beemer at a parking meter like everybody else
She's no longer a Member of Congress, and isn't entitled to use whatever House building parking garage that car's being parked in (I'm assuming that it's the Longworth Building).

Then again, if she parks a $300,000 automobile in front of a meter, it would be in a "chop shop" in Southeast D.C. before she put in the last quarter, LOL.

Harris needs to find a public garage to park that baby in. There's plenty of 'em in D.C. She won't have much of a problem.

34. Does she realize that she LOST last November?
She's do delusional and pathetic. The people of Florida don't want her, Congress never wanted her, and America doesn't need her. All she ever was in Congress was a rubberstamp vote to help give a secure majority to the equally delusional and pathetic chief executive that she helped put in office. They have no use for her anymore. Why can't she see that?!?!?!?

The capitol police need to ticket and tow her Beamer away. Maybe then she'll take the hint.

Maybe.
