Katherine Harris Has A Great Parking Space

Apparently, Katherine Harris has grown extremely attached to her Congressional parking space. The fact that Harris is no longer in Congress is a reality-based detail that others make too much fuss about. Like the Bill Nelson poll numbers.

As an incredulous HOH tipster put it — under the subject line “WTF?” — “Katherine Harris still parks her $100,000 BMW convertible in the Cannon HOB parking garage.”
HOH believes the value of Harris’ lovely BMW 645ci convertible coupe is probably more like $70,000, but he can confirm that the ex-lawmaker has indeed been parking it regularly in the Cannon House Office Building 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.

Is that kosher? The car still had a medallion hanging in it from the 109th Congress, and a House Administration aide said Friday that House officials were still in the process of distributing parking permits for the 110th Congress. So for now, cars with permits from the 109th are being allowed in the garages. After that, Harris may have to find somewhere else to park the car when she’s visiting her old digs. HOH misses her already.

I imagine that House members get parking spaces based on seniority. Office space works in that matter. I wouldn't be surprised if the Roll Call tipster was a House member forced to find another space.

While we're on the subject of Katherine Harris: the Peer Review archives always provides great comedy value.

Katherine Harris is going to surprise a lot of people when she defeats Bill Nelson in November 2006.

On behave of lefty bloggers everywhere - thank you, Peer Review.
