Hillary Gets Parking Ticket in London

OMG

Security detail tries to stop it.

Brave traffic warden or bravest traffic warden? Hillary Clinton got a bit of a the commoner experience in London on Saturday when she got a parking ticket—although her security detail did try to stop it. Clinton’s silver Mercedes was parked outside the Chatham House in Westminster—where she was picking up an award—for nearly 45 minutes, without allegedly having paid the £3.30—or $5.25-per hour parking fee. When the traffic warden wrote the ticket, five members of her security detail jumped out, but the warden refused to back down. The £80—about $127—fine can be reduced if she pays it within 14 days (down to £40, or $63). Otherwise, Clinton has until October 25 to appeal, giving the entire world the opportunity to see Hillary Clinton in traffic court.
