Business as usual in DC. My sympathy for her dropped to zero when she used the handicapped tag designated for her husband (who was *not* with her at the time) so she could park in a handicapped spot rather that walk her fat a$$ a few blocks to attend the gala!
"She parked in a handicapped spot close to the intersection of 9th Street and Mount Vernon Place and glanced in the mirror. ... She displayed a handicapped tag prominently, locked her car and checked with a police officer who happened to be parked right behind her. ... Clinton has the handicapped tag because her husband suffered a stroke."
Actually I'm sorry to hear she found the car in one piece.
What does that have to do with her car being towed to an area that was not disclosed to her?
What about the other people who this happened to as well?
That part of the story is just normal in DC, DC's finest being what they are.
What rubs me is that she had the nerve to use a handicapped spot by using her husband's placard rather than walk her fat butt a little further. But then I see the same thing at Target and the mall. The sense of entitlement and laziness on her part is shocking and that she whines afterwards is even moreso. I'd be ashamed to admit in public that I had done what she did, let alone cry about how terrible it was. Yes, entitlement...

The article completely glosses over that. It's a sympathy piece for this entitled woman.

yeah, she doesn't seem to be the least bit embarassed for having wrongly taken a handicapped spot, does she?
It doesn't sound to me like the cops moved the car. What it sounds like to me is that some tow company wrongly grabbed it while there were cars being moved, and once the cops started calling around trying to find it, the tow company realized they were in big trouble and snuck it back into a space near the convention center.
And yeah, loser shouldn't have been using a handicapped tag.
Let's think about this for a minute. The police didn't know she was a faker. They were towing away the cars of handicapped drivers to God knows where because Obama was coming? Can you imagine real handicapped people coming out of the event and not knowing where their cars are? How are they supposed to get to their cars if, for example, they are in a wheelchair? It's not like any Tom, Dick or Harry can put them and their chair in their vehicle and drive them around looking for it.
Isn't the usual practice to block those spots before people park in them?

well unless something's wrong with my computer...the lady in the story doesn't look fat...so I'm not sure why the OP is calling her fat...
Also the article says she's 64. I don't know anything about this lady's health condition. Perhaps she has a hard time walking long distances and couldn't find a close spot. This was the case with my grandfather who was generally healthy for his age but couldn't walk a block without getting winded. Since my grandmother already had a handicapped sticker, he didn't go get his own. So I won't judge her for using the sticker either because I don't know if she herself needed it or if she used it because she wanted to park there.
Either way, my focus was on the fact is that her car was moved without her being notified and no one knew where it was. Like someone else had mentioned, what if the person was in a wheelchair? Why weren't those parking spaces blocked off earlier in the evening?
