Sometimes the little things say more about a person than the big issues. State Senator Robert Ford of South Carolina figures if everyone does it, then he should be able to as well. While leaving a men’s clothing store, his car was spotted in the no-parking area of a fire lane.
When confronted that his car, with Legislative parking tags, set a bad example, Ford replied, “Every person in the country does it … It was the only place I could park. I wasn’t in there more than two or three minutes … Whatever, I’ve got no problem with it. If someone does, tell them to go call the tow truck or police.”
Nice attitude. At least the rest of us when caught admit it was wrong and try to sheepishly get away without paying a fine. Hopefully, the voters remember.
