Ex-Rep. Katherine Harris still parking car in House building
RAW STORY

 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 $200,000 BMW convertible in the Cannon [House Office Building] parking garage."
Pershing asserts that "he can confirm that the ex-lawmaker has indeed been parking it regularly [there] 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."
Harris' car reportedly "still had a medallion hanging in it from the 109th Congress." A House aide was quoted as saying that "officials were still in the process of distributing parking permits for the 110th Congress," which apparently allows Harris and others with permits from the 109th Congress to continue parking in the garage.
In reaction to the report, political satire site 'Wonkette' quipped "Katherine Harris will never, ever leave."
