CHARLOTTE -- A North Carolina congressman dashing to catch a plane dumped his SUV at the end of a row of properly parked cars at Charlotte's airport.
The Gaston Gazette reports Wednesday 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.

Yes...yesterday's elections in VA and NJ...
...show the importance of the media getting back to their main job, reporting how crooked and corrupt these Republicans really are. Sloppy parking? He should be censured or expelled. Can we give him prison time?
Meanwhile, Rep. Charlie Rangel D-NY and Sen. Chris Dodd D-CT basically tell the IRS and American taxpayers to go to blazes and half of Obamas appointees weren't paying their taxes....
...but in their cases, the silence is deafening. No big deal. The "D" after their name is media code for "Didn't and Don't see anything."
